This week alone I have re-delivered 10 envelopes to my neighbors that my Mensa postal worker mis-delivered. .
I'm thinking about buying some gray shorty shorts so I can have the authentic USPS postal worker experience.

The contractor that builds and installs these machines are supposed to do site surveys as a part of the installation side of the contract. You need to make sure you have proper electrical drops, the machine can fit, etc. This supposed to be done early on after contract award. Not sure why this happened other than sheet incompetence and corruption.

In your rush to bash working from home, you missed site survey. Just about every one of these types of projects are non-local for the companies that install equipment like this and most equipment in industrial settings. They aren't working from an office regardless. It's usually a motel room.
But please, carry on.
See. Pay attention. This is how you make wild ass assumptions that could be plausible.2wealfth Man said:
Most of the types that do this kind of work are pretty wild ass guys. Had all kinds of non-authorized credit card charges and cash advances back in the day. The guy that did survey may have just done hookers and blow and headed on to the next site.

I think the thing that impresses / amazes me the most is your ability to seamlessly flip flop from overly judgmental to "why does anyone care, why does random person take it so seriously" from thread to thread while simultaneously derail most. It's truly a gift.Sea Speed said:AgLA06 said:Cynic said:

I wish they would have kept quiet about it until after it was over. If I were the USPS, as soon as I saw that article posted, I would have been searching the facility for those packages addressed to the tv stations and made sure they got there on time. No telling how long they would have sat there if they weren't publicizing their location in real time.Ryan the Temp said:

I'd like to thank the fine people at the @USPS in Austin, TX, for stealing $20 out of my 8 year old's birthday card sent by my parents, that also arrived in PA 10 days after it was mailed.

Have any of you seen the new USPS commercial? They show a bunch of well groomed people delivering packages and being friendly. They talk about on time deliveries. It's propaganda for sure!

To be fair…their on time delivery metrics are probably good. Not accurate, but good.
It was very well known in my old hood that usps would mark your package as delivered but not actually deliver it for 2 or 3 more days.
Easy to keep your metrics looking good when you just flat lie about it being delivered when it is still sitting in a pile of boxes at the North Houston Sorting center.htxag09 said:

Yep, and been this way for years, so just their standard inefficiencies, not because of this new snafu because of their incompetence.txags92 said:Easy to keep your metrics looking good when you just flat lie about it being delivered when it is still sitting in a pile of boxes at the North Houston Sorting center.htxag09 said:

The USPS doesn't have to worry about their budget, they just get daddy government to give them more. And they have already cornered the market on crappy employees that are impossible to fire.2wealfth Man said:
Unfortunately, the whole system is in a death spiral; bad service leads to less business, leads to budgetary issues, leads to having to hire crappy employees, leads to less business…….
