Regular just saying thanks

It's been a HELL YEAR!  Amazon has been crazy.  Then count for many, then the election, the flats for christmas, now Christmas!  There have been few "easy" days for me, and I'm one of the first gone and back (not bragging, it's not a race!) and usually 2 hours every day under my evaluation.  NOT BRAGGING to you regulars, I realize how that screws me!

Today RED PLUM SUCKED SO BAD!  So damn thick.  Again, not bragging, I am damn fast.  But that was going to screw me so hard core, not just me, my businesses that close early also.  I get a lot of pick ups from my businesses, people elsewhere are waiting for these things, probably as gifts.   But the RCAs!  OH DAMN!  They are just rocking it so far.  We were told we wouldn't get much help today, just 1 run of parcels.  The RCAs, many of them working their first Christmas, just were on the ball!  I was scared when management said that, because the advo was so awful and would take up so much room in my truck (28 stacks for under 600 stops!).  I did not have an easy day today, but it was not a hell on earth kind of day.

So, thinking of what to get the RCAs.  Tips are coming in, and yes I share.  Cold hard cash or gift cards?  Nice loving note is already included.  

So thank y'all.  People get so stressed and sometimes it's hard to know who we are mad at.  That's not an excuse, just reality.  I appreciate y'all very much.  But please, it's most important y'all are safe. IT IS NOT A RACE!  Looks like these next couple of weeks are gonna be worse than normal, don't make it worse by hurting yourself!  
 
I second that! No one seems on the verge of a break down that I'm seeing. This season stinks and everyone is handling it amazingly well. By the way it's nice to see compliments for RCA's! Be safe everyone and continue being awesome!

I vote for cold, hard cash. And nice to hear a regular give the RCAs their due.  </blockquote>
I wholly second that opinion.
 
I've been a RCA for 21 1/2 years by choice.... Dec. 31. 2016 is my final day.... My reg who I sub for has been great for the whole time... She's is a great carrier as well as a great person... Her saying Thanks has been good enough for me... We have worked well in these 21 1/2 years and there has only been a few times I couldn't work but everything worked out and I cannot complain being her sub... I don't expect anything. Just knowing that she has appreciated my assistance is all I needed.... I will miss being her sub.. But for me it's just the right time to say Goodbye Post Office...

Lucky you! Regulars appreciate good subs. I have several that won't let anyone else but me run their route. They know that when I do it they won't need to clean-up behind me.

Goog Luck in your future endeavors. 
 
YES... made it through Christmas... now just 5 more days.. and I am history.... Maybe I'll go dancing in the streets... Naw.. better not do that.. might get hit.. LOL.... anyway.. You all have a Happy New Year... and keep the mail moving....
 
Justasub -- Wow - 21 1/2 years as a sub!   Is that some kind of record?   You and regular must have been quite the team.

--  Dancing in the streets on New Year's Eve is probably not a good idea if you are looking to enjoy your time away from the post office.

--  Sunday will be a new day, beginning a new week in a new month that starts off a new year -- doesn't get much better than that.  Not to mention NOT having to go in on a Tuesday after a Monday holiday!

--  Have you considered changing your "handle" to "Justaretiree"?
 
Hey... that's a thought.. hahaha..<img title="Laugh" alt="Laugh" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif" />  Oh.. and I made it through to Sat... End of chapter... turning all my equipment in Tuesday..
 
I'm a K so my wonderful sub got 1/6th of gifts....and.....The poor suffering RCA who has to cover our route when my sub is out also got a substantial gift....Her eyes went buggie....No.. she said... Yes I said....You are part of the team....Her smile was worth twice what I gave her....

And that my friends is teamwork....
