"Incompetent managers, like fish, begin to smell after two days." - Benjamin Franklin from Poor Richard's Almanack and founder of our Postal Service.

Begining a blog with a quote from an intelligent person creates the illusion that you share that same kind of intelligence with that person. It's a perfectly wonderful scam.

Another scam that I have noticed is the use of acronyms in the Postal Service and, occasionally, online as well. Even the word "blog" comes close to being a acronym - short for "web log." I was going delve into the USPS/APWU aspect of this, but I have noticed that most of the people on this website are rural carriers. So I will explore the relationship between the USPS and the NRLCA.

The USPS love its mail audits and mail counts. Therefore, the USPS,  in somewhat of an accordance with the NRLCA contract is using the RAPS system to conduct the mail counts in conjuction the NQI. The NQI utilizes a combination of PETE and EXFC data subtracted of course from mail that is NSN, NSS or UAA. Of course, the intelligent carriers have PKR and handle that mail properly. Although CFS can alter NRM in the final analysis, an SOB may disregard the POM and use shortcuts in determining VOL on the MODS report. The OIC may use an AK-47 on a 47K and change it in a 41J in determining a WKLD. 

The overuse of acronyms in the Postal Service and online has led me to invent the Acronym Blaster. It is available in two sizes. The PAB (Postal Acronym Blaster) is a magnetic microchip that can be secretly placed behind the supervisor's yellow badge. Like a lie detector, the PAB is not as strong as its counterpart the OAB (Online Acronym Blaster) but is still effective. When the supervisor's voice pattern and blood pressure coincide with telling a lie - the PAB zaps the person from the microchip, through the metal clip holding the yellow badge.

Online, and perhaps, on the website as well, I have read LOL,  ROFLMAO and BRB. The OAB is more powerful and easy to implement.  It works in conjunction with your computer and your web cam. You only need a spare USB port, a standard 120-volt socket, and a microphone attached to your computer. You simply hook up the device by plugging it into the wall and connecting it to your USB port. There is also another clip, which you are to attach to some part of your body. Some working suggestions have included various unmentionable locations upon your body, but preliminary tests show that any area of exposed skin will work sufficiently. The device works like this. When you are chatting online, or composing E-Mail, and you enter one of these abused acronyms (or AA's), software will use your web cam and your microphone to determine if what you entered was in fact true.

For example, if you were to type in ROFLMAO  (which we all know is rolling on the floor laughing my ass off) then your system will check to see if it is true. If you are not in fact rolling on the floor laughing your ass off, you will receive a 120-volt blast through the wire that you have attached to your body.

With your help and vigilance we can overcome this postal and online acronym obsession before it destroys our world and before our children are taught to speak only in nonsense. I hope you all understand the seriousness of this issue, and that you do your part by purchasing the Acronym Blaster, when I can get an interested party to help me sell these devices on their website. .

I would like to thank you in advance for your support, and in closing all I have to say is WTF?
