Man has worn blinder for centuries...if his cave didnt leak...he thought to himself "why move bones and babe?" With all the information available these days when man see's it...he scoffs...and disbeleives that ANY of it could apply...or be directed at him..."It must be a lie from those RADICAL cave dwellers to the NORTH...they are so bitter and Mad at the world!"
My little cave is cozy and GOOD!"

Man never stops to consider that since things are "good" they might possibly be great if he was to work with the other cavemen to improve his lot in life! He is complacent and pleased with what he has...and never works or lifts a finger to make anything about it better.....

But LO and BEHOLD....a WO-MAN from the SOUTH....sees that man could make a right comfy home out of his cold and dreary cave...she gives im instructions and information...for him to use to improve...not only HIMSELF but his neighbors in neighboring caves....but alas...man would rather be grateful to have cave..and not seek to improve it...UNTIL THE DAMN WRECKING CRANE COMES and BURIES HIS ASS UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF RUBBLE!!!

but WO-MAN stands back and shakes her head ....shes SAD man was so HAPPY he never seen the crane on the horizon...and planned accordingly after all she told him it was coming...she was SADDENED that man would rather be thankful for what little he had when all it would have took was him to grow some balls and brains and fight a little to keep what he had...

and alas...the moral of this story im sure you can work out on your own...if not well then...be MAN....or be WO-MAN...but dont be COMPLACENT!

Just a few thoughts to ponder...and I for one cant beleive no one has thought this through yet...or maybe they have...but IS innovation dead in the US? You would think with all the high priced salaries...and "think tanks" employeed by not only the USPS but the goverment itself....SOMEbody would think to ponder EXPANDING services in order to capture revenue!!!

Why for instance would not adding a delivery day perhaps be considered in the postal business model? That would create less generated OT pay for the crafts...but would create the need to retain knowledgeable trained employees...it would generate additional hours for the subs and ptfs...and help stimulate the economy. It also would provide the public with possibly a more appealing image with the public. Id be interested in seeing a survery done to question if a rate increase would be more well received if additonal services could come with it.

In addition to 7 day delivery....why not explore some "specialized" delivery service options?
Why not go for the anything...and i mean anything....you need shipped...we can deliver? theres idle equipment and people sitting idle at any given time in the po...lets look into putting those folks and stuff to work!

I was pondering too..theres lots of people who dont like to take the time or the effort to maintain their boxes...but they still want their mail...while mail delivery is free....Im sure there are people who would be willing to pay to have the postal service maintain their boxes for them....a monthly maintence fee...then if your box is down...we will hand deliver to your door...no hold..no hassle...

WHile some of these ideas are out there...i just was brainstorming at the spur of the moment...I am not a busniess major..i dont receive a "performance bonus"....I am nothing but a worthless RCA...but even I can see...there is things out there besides cutting service..cutting jobs...and preaching doom and gloom the postal service could be doing to secure their future and thier customers loyalty to them. I dont draw a 6 figure salary to create or generate revenue....but there are options other than the ones that make no sense...if you take the time to contract your congressman with other suggestions..maybe one of them will wake someone up someplace! Perhaps that will save or protect you or a coworkers position and future.

If you can think of an idea ...post it..why not...maybe the POWERS THAT BE...that that like to snoop and go slumming on the net...will take these ideas and think outside the box and claim them as their own!! LMAO

WEll now...seems Marks bug jumped out of the puter and bit me too...dang it Mark...i could have done without this Crud for sure! Since I got it tho...i had to take drastic measures in order to function this week....

Never In my life have I ever been able to drink any type of cold/cough syrup...yes..i could try..but never have I actually been able to keep it down...maybe its the cherry taste that most of it has...but something just makes me stomach revolt the moment it hits my lips...until this week that is....

There comes a point when you are sick when everything that previously mattered to you...ceases to be even of minor importance....I got sick of hearing..

"dear, if you just drink the nyquil you WILL sleep!"

So I grabbed the bottle and said CHEERS...glug glug..glug...

Not only did i sleep (for hours) but someone called and said i won a trip...i seen little army ants carting all the food out of my house...oh..they had human faces....and could talk too...and that bitch XeNA warrior pirncess aint got nothing on me baby!!! I can kick A$$ in my Nyquil induced coma!

All i can say for sure about Nyquil is this...I cant beleive they sell that stuff OTC!

CHEERS MY FRIENDS!

I looked the internet over and didnt find one postal related that i thought rivaled this one!

 

Twas the day after Christmas overtime

and all around my case

were piles and piles of catalogs

with not an inch of floor in the place

I peered through the piles, looking for "the man"

expecting him there with my time sheet in hand

But what did my wandering eyes did appear

Only a clerk with more piles did appear

I started to case as fast as I could

Knowing my haste would do me no good

Piles and piles continued to appear

quickly dousing my holiday cheer

Then out on the dock there arose such a clatter

I ran outside to see what was the matter

A big truck, on the side said USPS

The driver grabbed a buggy to unload all the mess

There were phonebooks, and samples, along with Advo

The buggy was filled and starting to overflow

"The man" pulled up in his assigned place

He looked an me and said "Get back in your case"

He said he could rest now Christmas overtime was done

With an evil laugh he snarled, your day has just begun

The mail must go, every piece every day

It cant sit on the floor, get it out of our way

I asked cant I have aux help or Overtime

He told me I surely had lost my mind

Christmas Overtime is over, you know how it works

Just face your case and stay the course

I cased and cased until my back started to spasm

Never seeing an end to this flat chasm

I asked please, please can I get on the street

He said OK, you have a dispatch truck to meet

I loaded up my vehicle as quick as I could

Ended up having to tie some up on the hood

Dont block your field of vision, the man cried out

You know how important safety is, he added with a shout

Dont miss that truck, he said in a threatening manner

If I have to drive mail to the plant, I'll drop the hammer

What if it gets dark while I'm delivering the mail

Turn on your dome light, Alaskans arent that frail

I shoved mail in the boxes as fast as I could

Driving faster than I really should

I made it back without a minute to spare

"The man" was there sitting in his chair

I've already worked 12 hours today

He said "suck it up" you'll be ok

Come in early tomorrow to get a head start

Teamwork is important, you need to play your part

As he sat at his desk, with his coffee cup in hand

I wondered if he had a clue that I could barely stand

He stood up and said , he was too tired to talk

All those emails he has to read, make him too tired to walk

I signed out, so my hours he could track

while he sat there patting himself on the back

I headed out the door with a look of disgust

With only one thought in mind "Christmas Overtime sucks"
