Mail, Mail Will Go Away

Now the Post Office has decided to shorten its week. Another pain in my side. Will they stop delivering the mail on Saturday or pick a day during the week.............My hope is a week day or I might as well give up. Should they pick Saturday not to deliver, there will be too much mail on Monday so I will not get Monday mail either......The shortened work week will cost me 2 days of mail on a semi-regular basis....It sucks.

Once upon a time I could tell you within minutes what the time was as our mail carrier walked his route. Same mail carrier day after day, except maybe a week in the summer when there would be some young dude carrying it during vacation. Now my mail can come anywhere from 11:00a.m. til about 6 p.m. It will be late with the regular carrier and early with the sub........Hmmm, what does that say about the whole thing..................

Email is the answer. I will miss my mail, but I will go more that route....The hubby won't bank/pay bills on line or we would be doing that as well.....Mail, HAH! US Postal Sevice, double HA!

Neither Rain and Sleet, Snow and Dark, or Apparently Tuesdays.....

I'm ranting about the post office again. I have been forbidden to call and bother the postmaster....It will achieve nothing, so why bother, but, anyway......So far this winter season I can confirm that the post office didn't deliver twice. I may have missed another day, but I had no mail going out, so I can't confirm.

According to the postmaster last year, the postman doesn't have to deliver when there is more than one form of precipitation at one time. The postman doesn't have to deliver after dark. The postman, apparently, doesn't have to deliver on Tuesdays if they don't want to as well. They had more mail yesterday due to Martin Luther King Day. Ok, don't you think you will have more mail on Wednesday if you don't finish your route?? Add to that, they send out newspaper flyers to everyone by mail on Wednesday, so there will definitely be more mail today........Hmmm, perhaps we won't get mail today either??? I think there was an episode of Seinfeld where Newman got caught hoarding mail he didn't deliver.................

I don't think she (yes our mailman is a girl) is hoarding mail. I just think she doesn't do her job very well and gets paid a good salary not to.

Yes, I will be cutting my mail down this year just because of that..............Don't be surprised to find email thank yous and birthday cards. It's just not worth taking the chance that it might be a good day for the mailman.........Oh, especially when they raise the price of stamps this summer, again.....................

Neither rain nor sleet nor snow....Yeah right.....

I think the postal service is eventually going out of business. I mean it. I am upset that postage is going up again.....I know gas has gone up, along with everything else, and once upon a time I could have gone along with it, but not anymore. I'm sorry, but in the last 2 years I haven't had mail delivered approximately 10 times. Every time I call the post office, I am told that the weather just got too bad and the postal carriers were able to stop early..........Hmm hard to have any sympathy for them with the motto they have (HA RIGHT) and the fact that I watched her deliver to the house across the street before she quit. Yes, how do I know, but if you saw the amount of mail the next day, you would know, too. Other places have weather worse than us and I can guarantee their mail didn't say "I think I'll stop now" add to that, I'd like her to talk to the people that were expecting payments that may not have got them on time because she just wasn't in the mood to finish her job.. I"m ranting, but it really gets on my nerves...........Now that I am writing.......I will probably go the email Christmas card route this year if I can get away with it. I am just po'd enough about the whole thing.............
