It’s a rare enough occasion for what I call the “Heavy Season” to start early.
To give context, the US Mail has its seasons like any other part of humanity. From January to March, it’s the Winter’s Light Season, leading up to the Tax Season from March to May. From May to September, it’s the Late Summer Light Season, followed by the Heavy Season that, usually, starts on October 1 and ends in the first week of January.
But the mail has been getting more ‘focused’ lately. Parcel counts are high, and lettered mail, for all that it’s at bulk pricing, is getting burdensome.
The Heavy Season is starting early, it looks like. With that comes some bad news.
I’ll soon be so busy with work that I won’t have time to work on my RPG plots. Hell, I’ll barely have time to write. As much as I wish I could make daily posts, I’ll be having to go to weekly (Sunday) postings starting soon and until January.
I don’t like that kind of news, but I have to be honest, readers: I’m exhausted. The high heats of the summer are wearing me out, and I’m predicting an upswing at the office.
(This post was scheduled when I get word from a supervisor that I was about to be handed multiple 12-hour shifts in the coming weeks)
For everyone used to my daily posts, I apologize and will get back to the routine as soon as I can. I’ll put in an effort to write throughout the week, and at least focus on an essay for my Sunday Posts, but I can’t promise much more than that.
I’ll be setting up my last few sessions for the year to end by October, and will write up a post for 08/20.
Stay safe out there, readers.
