Did anyone think it was odd that on the cover of your retirement packet (declining counseling) you were asked:
"If your retirement date is 11/31/2009 you will receive your annuity check on _________?
Weird

I've been to the desert, on a "horse with no name", and it really did feel good, to get out of the rain!

Horse what do you mean by that? You are saying if you declined counseling your annuity date will be different from the rest?

Noooooooooo.
It was just a weird question on the cover letter

the reason you get what you get is you post as him...he does not post here but you do...

and boy o boy is it funny how you show up right after being called out...

and the last 10 pages not one post from you...

pal we get it that your unhappy but WE ALL GET IT WHEN YOU POST UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES.

Listen up.

when people post hatefull or just plain stupid stuff DO NOT RESPOND.. THEY POST CRAP SO YOU WILL RESPOND...SO DONT

IGNORE THEM AND THEY WILL GO AWAY..

PHYSCO PETE destroyed postal reporter and he will do it here also unless you just let it be.

hi fellow newly retirees, I have a question , how long do you think it takes to start feeling normal after leaving the P.O.? 1 month? 2 months, 3 months , 4 ? 5 ? 6 ? a year? never?

One day for each year is working for me.

/m41847 give it a few weeks, a few months perhaps. retiring is listed as one of the big stressful events of your lifetime. but it need not be a Negative. pamper yourself. get a foot massage. spend time with your family and friends, especially with the Holidays coming up. be happy! enjoy your life. you only get one, unless you are Hindi.

been retired one year the end of this month. I only come on here to see if their is ever any money (from the so called grievance last year on the VERA).

After about 2 months you begin to start thinking ahead again.

I travel the country so life is good. Yep full time rv lifestyle. Home is where you park it :)

Even after one year I still have not forgotten how crappy I was treated but just like with a divorce or a death, after time the memory fades and does not seem so bad anymore.

To 41845, Bite Me! I do not even know who Nickle is, other than reading his stupid posts! It is not me! Get it?????????

The person that retired with me received their form 50 today showing they are retired. What was interesting was the remark at the bottom.

this is a direct quote;

"OPM AUTHORITY 2008-072 DURATION JULY 31, 2008 THRU SEPTMEMBER 30, 2010"

Yes September is spelled wrong!

so for anyone who thinks the early outs are over, there could be many more before September 30, 2010.

here is hoping that who ever wants to go will be given more money and will get to go!

So here's what I've heard....the next buyout will be $1000.00 for each year of service. Anyone else heard this rumor?

postal rebel /m41854 -- "what I've heard" is always worthless. Your rumor is legally impossible.

By law the maximum amount the USPS is allowed to offer is 25K. This has been on the books for years. Anything other than this will literally take an act of congress with OPM agreeing.
