maybe poor plumbing? (i'm not a detective but this reminds me of chemical exposure)

I've got 4 packages going out in different directions in the country and they all seem to have stopped going anywhere over the weekend and now will all be late.
Mail now for Christmas 2021. It might get there on time if the Apocalypse struggles and fails like everything else seems to be doing right now ...
I'd send thoughts and prayers but they wouldn't arrive in time

oh cripes. let's hope not. The thought at the back of my mind during this entire Covid pandemic has been that, despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, this has been a pretty benign epidemic compared to what we could potentially be hit by.

Hiring and promotion freeze in effect (since when I don't know); if they lose someone due to covid, a postmaster for example, they can't elevate someone to that job. They can only transfer in at the same rate. Who would do that? Even if it's a lateral move, it will mean moving house and more work etc. One local small town (1000 pop) post office has had 4 acting postmasters in 3 months. They get carriers with no experience to take the gig for a few weeks until they wash out because there's also no budget for training. Other postmasters in the area are volunteering to go help but that's only because their own jobs are made harder if that post office is such a cluster. They actually had the heat turned off because the last two hadn't paid any bills.

True. No matter what he did, his wife with with Alzheimer's can't cope with something like that. (Obligatory joke: maybe he should go outside and spit on them)
