Tennesseetime -- Getting back to your original question about a second job...

--  Page 8 of the PO-603 covers outside employment:

Allowable -- You may engage in outside employment and other outside activity with or without compensation, except as limited by statute, executive order, or regulations, including those listed in the Employee and Labor Relations Manual ( ELM ), 661, Code of Ethics. ( now 662.1 )

Restricted -- You may not engage in outside employment or other outside activity that interferes with the duties and responsibilities of Postal Service employment.

Other Activities -- Do not act as an agent for, or have any interest in, the manufacture or sale of rural mail receptacles requiring official USPS approval.  You may order boxes for customers if you realize no profit.

Postal Bulletin 21652, 31 DEC 1987 -- ( short version ) Postal Employees may not work as HCR carriers.

ELM, Section 348 -- Dual Employment  --  348.3 -- Between Postal Service and Private Industry:

A Postal Service employee may be employed concurrently as an employee in the private sector unless such employment has an adverse impact on postal operations or where conflicts of interest may be generated between the private employer and/or employee and the Postal Service.  When a postal employee is employed concurrently by another private employer, postal employment is primary and takes precedence when a scheduling conflict arises.   See 662.1 for further information.

--  If you find outside employment, be up front with the employer about your post office job taking priority.
