Spelling Bee, No comprendo!! It's just a name for crying out loud. Do you know what finesse is? Well, I don't have very much of it.

Mgt can put as many scans on a route as they wish. In our office the standard number was 7, (hot case, depart to rte, 1st delivery, last delivery before lunch, 1st delivery after lunch, last delivery of the day, and return to office)but many routes have more than that. If you feel you have too many scans, ask your supv what's up? I was on a route last week that had tons of scans only to see that half of them were for another route that USED to cover that area. Just stopped scanning them, no problem. Mgt doesn't have the time, apparently, to take down old MSP labels.
If you had a scan point at every house, the only problem would be that Mgt is adding to your paycheck by requiring you to take the time to scan them.

Can anyone tell me, how many MSP scan point can the post office put on a route? 9 on the street? 3 in the office? It seems to me that the post office putting more & more of those sticker on the street so they can better monitor the carrier. I have a MSP scan point on almost every swing. Is that violation of the contract?

Right. Should have said that part. Good for you.

Tout déterminant s'accorde en genre et en nombre avec le noyau dont il est satellite :

Le boulanger, la boulangère, les boulangers, les boulangères.
Le nom noyau est successivement : masculin singulier, féminin singulier, masculin pluriel, et féminin pluriel : le déterminant (le, la, les) fléchit en conséquence.
A l'oral, cette flexion permet de distinguer certains homophones. Elle permet également, à l'oral aussi bien qu'à l'écrit, de connaître le genre et le nombre des noms dont la forme est invariable, précisément, en genre (les épicènes) ou en nombre :
Le maire / la mère ; un secrétaire / une secrétaire ; un bois / des bois…

Thanks west station You too NECarrier, We checked into that today. Actually you don't even have to out yet to submit the request for leave donation. If it is forseen that you will have 40 hrs of Lwop due to the case you can request it.

No Pay- Your carrier out of leave can ask for leave donations as well, if she is out of SL and AL.

Yes that is true. They will either recupe it when you come back or bill you for the premiums quarterly. Have you thought about applying to the postmaster for an advance on your sick leave? Have her try that also if she wants, she can apply for 240 hours advance.

Howdy Everyone!

    We have an employee in our office that is pregant with twins. The Doc told her she could not work anymore. She still has to Jan Before the kids are born. Her problems is she used her leave for everything. She is a regular employee so she will not be earning anymore A/L this year. So she is soon to be out of leave which means LWOP. She was told that If she was given LWOP that the Postal Service will still pay her Insurance Premium and then recoop it back when she comes back to work. Any truth to this? If so is it automatic? Thanks in advance for all your wisdom

hi all does anyone know where i can look up people that want mutual swaps? i was on the site years ago and just cant find or recall it ,,thanks

You don't, Billy, but it helps your credibility. If you can't spell or write properly, it could be expected that you couldn't comprehend the postings either. By the way, Geno's is o.k., but Pat's is better! Easier to eat with my upper plate!

Gee, I didn't think I had to have proper grammer and writing skills to be on this web site, since we are all letter carriers. I been trying to bring some fun to this dead web site.And to all you perfect people out there I say see ya fron Philly

Hey! Who died and made you the boss of Billy and the English language boss too already, hmmmm????

Now, that was mean-spirited....

I agree with billy. Management is the problem here. At our station the Post Master always sends out stamps by mail envelops for us to take out on our entire route or dog information cards she makes up locally or something on the day before a holiday. Just to be mean or because she knows the carriers will run and get it done in 8 hours. Why jump on the fellow carriers here?

No need to be mean to someone because they do not have great writing skills...

Wow! Just read(maybe I should just say, I attempted to read, since it would be nearly impossible for anyone to comprehend exactly what he was saying) the post drafted by "Billy from Philly".. Seriously, this is the image you want representing Letter Carriers to the public? I understand this is America and we all have the right to free speech... but... I guess Billy proves we all don't have access to intelligent speech.
