39. His and the other's claims are simply not possible

Dec 2012

Our delivery schedules are set nationally for mornings, mostly because of the airlines we use to transport mail long distances, but also because of when the mail gets processed for delivery. I've done all the related jobs except the actual deliveries, and thus know when they occur.

I've seen liars on USPS thread on DU before. I can counter them, because I apparently know the system more intimately than anyone else here. If there are postal employees on DU with more experience than I have, I don't know they post here.

In virtually every way, I seem to be the only thing DU has resembling an expert on this topic. I say this out of mystification, and not to brag. WHERE are the other postal workers? Am I really the ONLY one here?
