So do an awful lot of federal employees.
Most of my time (over the last 10 years of my career) was spent on the phone listening to you people out there telling me why you didn't owe the money (for large dollar value postage ~ the kind of money major publications and advertisers pay) ~ and most of it was lies.
There are definitely more mob connected people in this country than is generally believed or I wouldn't have heard so much of that cr*p on the phone.
Still, I've heard the best ~ and for all of 'em it wasn't their fault, and our rules were too complex, and our employees had their thumb on the scale, and whatever. You know the deal ~ your customers pull that stuff on you too. And then there were the death threats ~ which had to be taken seriously!
And for all that some of you pukes think I didn't provide ahead for my own retirement. Look, I made my deposits, and if they'd gone into nothing but T-bills, the returns will pay my retirement for the next 99 years ~ even at today's interest rates.
I'm sorry guys, you don't know beans about federal employment and most of your arguments are part of the same litany I heard so many times from people who owed millions of bucks for work done by the post office, and they didn't want to pay it.
>You’re just trying to excuse the fact they make their money sitting down talking.
Your reading comprehension skills are utterly miserable. I mean it is alarming that you would respond to something you evidently either didn’t bother to read or simply didn’t comprehend.
I honestly don’t give a rat’s behind about your whining about the travails of your job. It doesn’t matter one whit.
Is your job something which couldn’t be better done by the private sector? It doesn’t sound like it. As such, you live off of coercion. You are not subject to the rigors of having to satisfy a customer.
Rush and Hannity do. It doesn’t matter what they do for a living as long as they are not doing it as a product of coercion. They could be blowing smoke rings and smoking stogies for all I care as long as they don’t force someone to pay them to do it. Their money is gained legitimately- without coercion.
