USPS Failed Delivery Notification Z6F7D3QICQ2N

Hello! Unfortunately we failed to deliver the postal package you have sent in time because the recipient's address is erroneous.Please print out the shipment label attached and collect the package at our office.Thank you,USPSUnited Parcel Service of America, Inc. Home > Office of Strategic Planning >Office of Strategic Planning Publications> 2010 Comprehensive Statement on Postal Operations > Chapter 1: Mission and Strategy > Action Plan Overview / Assessment Action Plan Overview / AssessmentFor 235 years, the Postal Service has fulfilled its mission to deliver trusted, affordable service to the nation. Its business model worked well because mail volume grew steadily with the nation, and postage provided sufficient revenue to cover all operating and overhead costs. Today, the Postal Service is by far the world's most efficient post. A U.S. First-Class Mail stamp costs 44 cents, while other major posts average 78 cents for their equivalent service. Service levels and customer satisfaction have reached the highest levels ever reported. And for six years in a row, the Postal Service has also been named the "Most Trusted Government Agency" for protecting customer privacy and rates in the Top 10 of all public and commercial entities.Despite these accomplishments, the Postal Service's ability to remain financially self-sufficient is in jeopardy. Mail volume has fallen nearly 20 percent in just three years, the result of the worst recession since the 1930s, which has been particularly damaging to many of the Postal Service's largest customers, the housing, financial, and retail industries. New technologies continue to rapidly reshape how Americans communicate and transact business, further reducing volume.The Postal Service responded with aggressive cost reductions, producing $6.0 billion savings in 2009 and another $3 billion this year. It used 75 million fewer work hours in 2010, 6.0 percent fewer than last year. However, the savings were insufficient to counter continuing declines in mail volume combined with the obligation to pay $5.5 billion to prefund future retiree health benefits and a $2.5 billion charge that resulted from discount rate and actuarial changes on the Postal Service's workers' compensation liability.The Postal Service has communicated to Congress and all stakeholders that it expects current trends to continue. Without fundamental changes to its existing business model, cumulative losses could reach $238 billion by 2020. To help prevent this outcome, in March the Postal Service published Ensuring a Viable Postal Service for America, a 10-year plan that provides a conceptual framework to address its financial viability issues for the longer term. The plan was the product of more than a year of dialogue with members of Congress, the Administration, the business community, employee groups, and the general public. Supporting the effort were three consultants — Accenture, The Boston Consulting Group, and McKinsey & Company — whose analyses were incorporated in the action plan

Problems & Solutions

Problem: Most Indy performers suffer from lack of exposure and this prevents them from getting access to high earning opportunities that would transform their career.

Solution: Create smaller opportunities for performers that give a chance to showcase their talents and gain enough fans to get the attention of major talent buyer.

Man Freed After Serving 25yrs For Murder He Didn't Do

What can the state give a man to make up for the 25 yrs they took over some BS. No dollar amount is equivalent to the time loss that he won't get back. 1 mil a year for each year spent behind bars would be a good start. But the good old state of Texas is not that generous.

Working In The Rain

I've got to go to work tonight. From 2300 - 0700. I really don't mind that. Its about going out in the rain.

Catching public transportation in the jacked up part of the woods. Here in Pitt or aka middle of a bunch of nothing in the bay.

I would much rather be catching BART from my beloved town to SF.

Pitt everything runs slow as a fat dude sprinting in cement shoes on a sand dune. I'll be all wet before I get to Pitt BART.

Oh well that's the hand I've been dealt, so let me play it to the best of ability.

A Few Moments Wit Soli

Completed 2nd in a group of many events that will come along and most things were a plus from the 1st time. The only thing that was ugly was the possiblity that someone walked off with the venue's property.

I can't say if it happened or not because I didn't personally witiness anyone take anything.
I can see that before I left all the equipment was there and I know who was in the room last but I still can't pin it on that person because the possible incident took place after I left.

It weights a tad bit on my mind that someone even loosely associated with me might be a theft because that it is definitely bad for business.

If it's true then unfortunely it will happen again but at that time I will be ready for him/her and they'll be dealt with accordingly.
