You’d have to read back farther than the archives go. CJ has a vendetta against Ed. When she was first hired, she admired his attitude and tried to follow his example. She got written up and reprimanded, while he continues to get raises. He also won a lottery, but comes in for a paycheck anyway. So Ed is not her favorite person.
Let that be a lesson to everyone entering the work force. You come in and work hard every day and give 110%, that will be expected of you everyday. Do things rarely and then when you do actually do your job, you get rewarded. Sad but true
When I was very young and entering the workforce, my Grandfather strongly advised me to always give more than they ask for or expect. In hindsight, I recall that Grandpa was never financially successful, and held a lot of different jobs over the years. Do what he says, and they just take advantage of you and assume you’ll do all that and more- for their benefit, of course.
To TSR – hey, that’s not so bad. In Terry Pratchetts’s “Jingo”, Nobby and Colon watch a man painting “Pride of Ankh-Morpork” very carefully on a ship as its name, and they can see that he has forgotten to include the ‘e’.
It’s not just the postal service. Way back when there were actual paperboys I had a route. I grew it some so another route was added. I quit when I was in high school and my route was divided into three routes.
My brother and I had routes that were oddly divided; his was in the middle of mine. I’d do the first half of mine, ride my bike through his, then finish mine on the other side. Because it would have been so hard and so confusing to actually divide the same area in half, one whole route on each side.

Bear in mind that MMM is not a well run company. If it were, it wouldn’t be worth doing a comic strip about.
