THE CHECK’S IN THE MAIL.  NO IS ISN’T.  IT’S IN THE GUTTER AS POSTAL STRIKE WORSENS.

 

1. Didn’t you all have a Postal Strike not too long ago? So much for government run organizations - find it funny (don’t know if UK laws are the same) but the only government entity not allowed to strike - are the Armed Forces.

2. Wow. Rush Limbaugh had a caller this week that said she was a Postal employee who didn’t get her check.

   Now, to be honest, I remember once when the checks didn’t show up. Back in the early ‘90s. Unlike the caller, they did not issue certified checks. We just waited until Monday, and there the checks were.

   Actually, this has happened several times. I don’t subscribe to ‘direct deposit’ because you are also giving permission for ‘direct withdrawal’. If they decide they’ve overpaid you for whatever reason, they can just go in and take it back. That’s part of the ‘direct deposit’ agreement.

   I prefer to pay them back, if it’s legit, on my own schedule. I will not let them seize funds I may have written checks on. IF they overpaid me, that’s their problem, not mine.

   (not to be confused with the time they screwed up MY check. Everybody else got theirs but me. But that was two decades ago now. I don’t even remember the circumstances. The local post office DID give me an advance, which I paid back when the check arrived, a week late. I was a newbie employee at the time.)

   Yes. Now we have another. It never ends.

4. Once they get their foot in the door the commies are very difficult to get out.

   Meh, not necessarily; give ‘em a few grenades followed by a quick trip with the flamethrower, and that should get them out.

   Unfortunately, while it may be easy to get the Commies themselves out by bayonet or ballot, their legacy is far more difficult to remove. And therin lies the problem.

   It has just dawned on me upon seeing that comment, you’re right.
   I always think in terms of the people who cause the problem(s) and lost sight of that word, legacy.
