Well.. I have taken a nice long break away from the computer since my last posting. Now that the new year of 2009 is here I am back ready to begin anew.
This coming year will see several problems carry over from the last year and will have new problems arise that will affect each and everyone of us. Some of these problems will be due to the economy and the fallout of our National problems. Others will be due to Postal mismanagement or just plain stupidity of our coworkers.
But, no matter what each of our unique problems that each of us face just remember that others have had to face these problems also and somehow all of us will find our own solutions that work for us. Look around and do not be afraid to ask others for help... be it a friend , coworker, or even management at your place of work(Yes, sometimes they can help)..... But, just remember that you are never alone... Others will help you if you are willing to help yourself.

Morning Commuter Cutie, I also am glad that the blogger decided to keep this blog open.
How was your holidays? How are things going with your job? Over at MLS it did not seem to be as busy as in past years over the Christmas holidays.
Well take care and keep in touch.

Wall Street's best year, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, was 1915. The index rocketed 82%. The second best year was 1933. It jumped 66%.
Any tip that comes close to that would have to be remarkable. Here are seven that will do better. Yes, they will produce a greater return on investment than Wall Street's greatest boom year.
And, unlike your typical investment tip, these returns are pretty much guaranteed. What's more, you won't have to call your broker to make any of these moves:
1. Buy a bread maker. You can buy one for $55. If it saves you just $4 a week on store-bought bread, that's $208 a year. A 280% return.
2. Get a credit card with a great sign-up bonus. Like the AirTran .Visa card. Cost: The $40 annual fee. After your first purchase you get enough reward miles for a free flight, saving maybe $250. Then cancel the card. Return: 525%.
3. Take out a local library card. Cost: Nothing. If it saves you $10 a month on books, that's $120 a year. Return: Infinite. Note: Some libraries now let you borrow electronic books over the Internet as well.
4. Replace your premium cable package with a Netflix subscription and a $100 set-top box. You can download movies and TV programs as well getting DVDs through the mail. Cost: $100 for the cheapest set-top box, plus $17 a month for a three-movie subscription. If it replaces a $50-a-month cable package, that's a 98% return on investment.
5. Order a packet of seeds and plant them in a window box or garden. Growing your own herbs, spices, and even vegetables – depending on the amount of space you have – is a great investment. If you spent just $10 on seeds and saved a mere $50 in the year, that's a 400% ROI.
6. Switch to a prepaid cellphone. Cost: $20 for the phone, and maybe $100 a year for minutes. Move the rest of your talk-time to free Internet calls, and stop hemorrhaging $60 a month on a cellular plan. ROI: 500%
7. Start making your own coffee to take to work each morning. Cost: $20 for a Thermos, $10 for a filter and papers, and $60 a year for ground coffee. Then skip the $4 a day drive-thru. If that saves you $1,000 a year, the return is more than 1,000%.
That how you can get 1,000% back on your money.
Its seems kind of dead here so. Here is a joke...
This is strictly for humor and is not a political statement!
The President of a Union was about to start the morning briefing to his staff, and his Union stewards.
While waiting for the coffee machine to finish its brewing, the President decided to pose a question to all assembled.
He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.
He posed the question of just how much of sex was 'work' and how much of it was 'pleasure?'
The Maintenance Craft Director chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.
The Clerk Craft Director responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending on his state of inebriation at the time (pronounced TAHHHM).
The MVS Craft Director responded with 50 -50% in favor of pleasure, depending on who was involved.
There being no consensus, the President turned to the Vice President who was in charge of making the coffee. (or as was stated at the convention, the only thing he had to do was wait for the President to stop breathing) What was HIS opinion?
Without any hesitation, the VP responded, 'Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure.'
The President was surprised and, as you might guess, asked why?
'Well, sir, if there was any work involved, these other people would have me doing it for them.'
The room fell silent.
God Bless all Union membership.

Hey all: Hear the biggest news:
The rumor: Rick Cornelius, the "dedicated" APWU member, got out of the union.
This would be good news. I hope it is true.
Makes me remember the liar-flyers that the MOM team put out saying, no matter the outcome of the election, we will we there for the union members--remember that? The Member's Organizing Members (MOM) Team? Now their ringleader ran with his skinny tail between his legs, probably because charges are still being decided against him.
Also, does anyone have a clue how much money he stole from the local, under the guise of incidental $250 per day, no questions asked rule in the local's constitution.
With trustworthy people in place, its one thing. But a conjob like Rick? And he went heavy after anyone who tried to find out where the money was going. So Mr Cornhole is bailing out before the National Union can publicly embarrass him. Good. and good Riddance.
I have talked to some people from northern locals, and they were making fun off how nutso Rick was when he opened his mouth at conferences. Everyone knew he was an idiot clown, with nothing to offer except a laugh at happy hour time.
We were the laughing stock of all APWU locals for three years. Thank God he got beat. And we don't need pukes like that as rank and file members either.
So Ricky if you are reading this, bye-bye. Are you going into management, per chance? Or maybe you are getting ready to make that big move to Colorado since you have burned all your bridges here.
One thing is sure. You are prevented from stealing any more of our local's money and dignity now. You might as well go over to the dark side (mgmt) you always did belong there anyhow. I can think of many who would love to take you under their wings and teach you how to be even worse a person than you already are.
