Daily Report

Postal workers may have dodged one bullet this week as Rep. Jason Chaffetz stepped down as chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Chaffetz sponsored a postal reform bill that would have taken postal employees out of the main federal employees health benefits program and placed them in their own separate pool, a notion that even the heads of the main postal unions was supporting (unbelievably). The onerous bill may have died with Chaffetz’s retirement. Now there’s word from Federal News Radio that nine Republicans say they oppose proposals in the president’s fiscal 2018 budget request that would make significant changes to the federal retirement system for current and future employees and retirees.

Spending the afternoon pampering my two main four wheeled ladies. Artemis is my Subaru Forester mail car, and Bastet is my Suzuki SX4, AKA The Little Blue Bomber. Both of them have strong bumper sticker game. In case you’ve ever wondered what the inside of a personal mail car looks like, wonder no more! Factory right hand drive cars are hard to come across unless you want a Jeep, but I’m not about that life. I have two steering wheels so I can drive in the passenger seat. Going through drive-thrus is extra fun. I spend more waking hours sitting in my Subaru than anywhere else. Got to keep my second home looking good. She only lets me photograph her left side though. The right side is covered in mailbox battle scars. She’s pretty sensitive about it. #Car #Cars #Subaru #Subaeru #SubaruForester #RightHandDrive #Suzuki #SuzukiSX4 #SubaSuzuLife #Suzuru #MyOtherSuEndsWithZuki #MyOtherSuEndsWithRu #CarsOfInstagram #Mail #MailDelivery #SteeringWheel #JustPostalThings #PostalLife #Mailman #MailmanSwag #Femail #Mailwoman #USPS #USPSLife ???✉️
