So I guess the stereotype of the "lazy government employee" can be put to rest, at least as far as the USPS is concerned. When I was a child my family used to leave a Christmas bonus out for our mail carrier, mostly because my father's father was a mail carrier too, so we always looked out for them. I wonder if people still do that, but I'm guessing that a Christmas tip for the postman is a relic of the past. On the bright side, if you manage to stick with it 'til the end, you can be assured that the account from which you draw your retirement checks will be well funded, so you got that going for you. We'll keep the wiki warm for you while you're busy, and I'll make sure to be extra appreciative of my local carriers, especially when I place an Amazon order.
