Why do you right wing pinheads always talk about civil service employees as if we live on another plane of existence?We are taxpayers as well, so we are 'WE THE PEOPLE'.And BTW, I also contributed a portion of my salary to my retirement fund.I guess that doesn't count.So you think I'm gaming the system? ROFLWell, let's see. If you were covered by the USPS contract:1. Public servants (there's an oxymoron for you, LOL) make ~20% more than their private counterparts.2. Public servants earn 26 vacation days after 15 year of service. (That's 5 weeks and a day much faster than private industry.) 3. Public servants that get 13 sick days/year and are acruable from year to year. Not happening in private industry.4. Prior military service counts towards your years of USPS service.Yeah, I'd say "gaming" is a good choice of words.Of course when you think of Postal Service, you only think about Letter Carriers or Window Clerks, who work days and have off weekends and holidays.You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes to get your mail to you every day.My husband and I worked nights weekends and holidays, at a crappy job that we hated for decades.You got paid overtime for working weekends, shift differential for working nights, etc., We sacrificed a lot, missing out on many family events, because we had to work.Who doesn't? I spent 3 months living in Michigan by myself when I relocated, leaving my wife an two small kids back in PA.And no little POS like you is going to tell us that we don't deserve to enjoy a decent retirement.Ask my husband what it was like out on the tarmack at JFK Airport when it was 98 degrees in the summer or 15 degrees in the winter.I'd love to see you tell him to his face that he's getting something he doesn't deserve by 'gaming the system'.Big deal! I spent 2 weeks in the Weirton Steel Plant with a 120F ambient temperature running a hot mill lubricant trial and the first 8 weeks of 2008 in frozen, snow-covered Ontario. Bring your husband to Michigan and I'll tell him just that!! You think some internet whiner is going to intimidate me? LOLNow do you understand why I said that?This little White POS Bread says I'm 'gaming the system', and he wants me to kiss his ***, because he's 'paying my retirement benefits'.I guess I just imagined that I worked in a filthy job that I hated for all those years, and I should be grateful for the generosity of people like White POS Bread for taking care of me in my golden years.Well thank you White POS Bread, and **** YOU too.You should be grateful that the Federal Government kept your employer from going belly-up a hundred times. You're so inefficient that we've had to float you cash just about every year of yourt existence. If you had to survive in the real world, FedEX and UPS would have eaten your lunch and you'd all be unemployed!!
