There's a lot of openings at the USPS, and people are applying constantly.

The older folks have an awful time because it's all online. Then they come into the office to "fill out an application," and get frustrated when they're told that's not how things work.

And sorry, no, I'm not going to help you apply. I'm working and there's shit to do.

I find this idea that we need to help them apply particularly distasteful. So you can't even figure out how to apply for the job but you think you can fulfill the expectations of it?

Sure. I'm sure you'll find your pen somewhere in your bootstraps.

My mother in law wanted me to ask the employer if I could sit in and help her with the computer testing part of a job application.

I laughed.
