You are 100% correct on these counts. My depot was recently restructured (again). They are now interviewing posties every single day wondering why they are doing overtime every single day. Personal integrity, sure. But the expectations put on us now are nigh impossible. They want you to take...

So true. The only ones people tend to look at are the Canadian Tire flyers and some food discount coupons.. maybe the front page of a grocery store flyer. But, it accounts for 30% of Canada Post income. They charge $0.18 for a simple, regular flyer, For bigger ones it’s around $0.25 or so. And...

Well, I’m sure there are some near your house. Same thing. Put a blue box out beside one and come collecting once a week. You’ll get more than you will know what to do with.

It’s OK bud… you can call it Junk Mail… ‘cause everyone knows that’s what it really is…

If you get your mail from a Community Mail Box, I have a super easy solution for your request for more junk mail.... Put a recycling box beside the mail box. People will fill it in no time at all. Just make sure you collect it the night before recycling pick up. It will be a god-send to your...

Apparently it’s too much effort to do that. Many people just put the flyers in the outgoing mail slot. Thgat’s a GIGANTIC pain in my ass. Have to separate all the junk from real mail. If I miss something, it’s going to get recycled with the flyers. So for any of you who this, please stop. You...

Apparently the ship carrying all the extra stuff for the pits and spare parts etc hasn’t arrived as of yet. Definitely going to throw a wrench into things.

That’s a relay bag you’ve got, not a letter carrier bag. We prep our mail and stuff it into the relay bags, which get delivered to roadside boxes on our route. Most people think that when we leave the depot, we have all our mail for the entire day in our bags. Sadly, that’s not that case. We...

See about going by a Canada Post distribution centre. You *MAY* be able to con your way into an old set of mail bags for free. Sure, they won't be too pretty. any more, but they're designed specifically for ergonomics. The majority of the weight is supported by the waist band. The shoulder...

I told you it was awesome! It’s an amazingly unique twist on the whole heaven/hell thing that took a genius level of idea consolidation to achieve…. Well beyond my pay grade, and I‘m a bit of a creative myself!

For anyone going down this year, it's slated to be repaved starting sometime in March/May and hopefully be done before the end of June. Apparently they will close down one direction at a time in the area they're working on. So it won't be impassible, just really annoying, especially if you get...

Welcome to the 2024 MotoGP discussion thread! Please don’t post up race results for at least 24 hours after the races are complete. For starts, the Argentinian GP has been cancelled. "Due to the current circumstances in Argentina, the Promoter of the event has communicated that it is currently...

Watched to episode 4 of Hazbin Hotel. Wow… just wow…. somebody else watch this and let me know your thoughts please!!!! p.s. viewable on Amazon or by torrent download.

Give it a whirl... It's a really well done concept - and it's not all musical through and through... maybe 1 song per episode, and the lyrics tend to be extremely dark.

Hazbin Hotel. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it. It’s a cartoon. And adult cartoon… that’s a musical… Premise is - Satan’s daughter opens a hotel to help convert sinners / demons and help them gain access to heaven. Thing is, every year, angels descend into hell and slaughter the...

Imagine what I could do, if I would do all that I can. - Sun Tzu.

Lots of cardio for sure… Not like jogging or doing aerobics, but a constantly elevated heart rate. I‘ve always had decently muscled legs from a lifetime of hockey and many years of martial arts, but this job has really toned them a lot... So if anyone wants to get a job where you’re outside...

I exercise every day for my job. I’m a Postie. Depending on the route, average is 20k-26k steps counted every day. Add in the 35 pounds we carry in our bags (that lasts about 30-45 minutes before needing to reload. Guelph has a ton of hills to climb, and therefor a gazillion stairs. Old...

Delivered mail today. 24km in -18c (wind chill) weather. 2” of snow everywhere and lots and lots of hills and stairs. Was not a good day. On a side note, my legs are more toned than ever before.

This year should be quite a bit different. They’ve added in a minimum rider/bike weight combo. IIRC Bautista is getting an addition 7kg (!!!) added to his bike. That will no doubt make a huge difference in keeping him from running away with it again.
