I don't know how much a mail carrier is paid or what their labor rate is, but I'm pretty sure the cost to ship those three packages exceeds an hour of their time. It's offensive they'll take money to deliver a package but can't take a couple of minutes to actually bring it to the house instead just leave it on the freaking road.

$17-38(50% more after 8hrs). Inexcusable.

I spoke to a usps route driver once about magazines being ruffled. He said that they were ‘encouraged’ to go slow on the routes to not finish early so it appeared to be more work/time needed to finish. He said they browse magazines to pass/waste time. How long does it truly take to put those boxes where they belong?!!! Leaving boxes on the ground is just pure BS. I am thankful the delivery people in my area have been great. Very glad the sheaths were wrapped.

Stupid USPS left our packages on the ground, in the rain, up the road instead of delivering them to the house.

Thousands of dollars of custom-made SDFK sheaths. Fortunately Eric packages each sheath in a plastic bag. I'm glad this wasn't thousands of dollars of custom-made grinding belts that got soaked.

We are struggling with rising costs, we don't need to be scrapping materials because some lazy incompetent useless POS mail carrier can't do their effing job

Unless the guy on the left lives at #3. He shouldn’t be getting his mail.

I don’t work for the post office. Just a pet peeve of mine.
 
Sooo... sitting here smoking some chicken breast, I realize using a upright charcoal/wood smoker is nothing but a benefit for me.....

I enjoy a few adult beverages as I watch the smoker temperature... when the wife asks me to do something I reply "I have to watch the smoker" ..... as I crack open another beverage

What a beautiful day!

This does not bode well for the future of Twitter under Musk's ownership: Musk Spreads Baseless Conspiracy About Attack On Pelosi's Husband

"Musk linked out to a story, which is no longer accessible, in an online conservative rag called the Santa Monica Observer claiming that the suspect did not break into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home hunting for Nancy.

Instead the invisibly sourced “story” alleged that Paul Pelosi, 82, was having a liaison with a male sex worker.

While others have also hinted at this rumor—twisting themselves into pretzels to explain such details as the broken window and a 911 call—none of them have the reach or influence of Musk.

And the outlet he cited is particularly unreliable. As the Los Angeles Times has reported, Santa Monica Observer has been the source of other patently false, ridiculous articles, including one that a body double for Hillary Clinton was sent to a debate with Donald Trump and that Kanye West was given a top job in the Interior Department.

. . .

The irresponsible fact-free post went up just hours after Nancy Pelosi said in a statement that she and her family are “heartbroken and traumatized” by the attack on Paul, which left him with a fractured skull that had to be repaired in surgery."

All “city” routes are projected to be 8hrs,,somedays are heavier then others. No route or worker is created equally. Many variables, not easily determined. Anyone who encourages a carrier to slow down is a union rep or a pro union carrier, not the bosses. It does not pay to work hard because you will simply get more work. I have an honest route so I dont have time to play bs games.

Eta—rural carriers might have different expectations. I was always to the understanding though they got to go home if they got done early whereas us city carriers its the opposite. For them to waste time reading mags doesn’t add up 🤔

I don't know Twitter from a Twatter but I did find out that Elon didn't always have a full on bouffant hair and Iron Man like square jaws. He and his fangful buddy Thiel actually looked like your typical Silicon Valley nerds who couldn't probably score with h**kers even if a handful of Benjamins were stapled to their foreheads in a brothel! Sorry ladies, but he was always so "haute".
