    Postal Service Reports $3.5 Billion Loss

    Mail carriers overall are paid by the route (some formula too complicated for me). They can rip through a days delivery in about 5 hrs. Some of them guys make >60k for a 30 hour week. Not only that, you ain't even tired when you're done.

    IRS Sons of dogs!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!!

    Re the 1099. This is odd. If you had to make quartly estimated tax payments, you'd include income in each quarter and tally up the 1099 with the estimated income from the same company at the end of the year. Even if a company issued no 1099, you still should be reporting income. Not hard...
