The Post Office Sucks

Those who know me know that the post office and I have had a somewhat tumultuous relationship over the years. As an overall entity, due to our history, the post office leaves a sour and unpleasant taste in my mouth. Mind you, I know there are plenty of kind and admirable people working for them, I even know some. Even so, if I was asked to do a quick word association and the examiner said "Post Office," my first response would be "evil."

Considering my roommate has family members employed by the evil entity, I try not to voice my distaste too often. Today I am feeling quite vocal. My Grandma had told me she was sending a letter, and more days passed than I thought should be likely and I had still not received the letter. I spoke with her tonight and she told me it had been returned. I had her read the address off to me, and it was exactly as it should be written. The message they left was "Addressee Unknown"! Those liars!! I have received a package and a letter from my family, and now the postal people decide I'm unknown?!?! You jerks!!! Isn't it the responsibility of the tenant to decide if they know the freaking addressee or not?!?! I think so!!!!

And no, I didn't fill out a change of address form, but thousands of people around the country move every week without filling those things out. Normally I would, but I am clinging to my residency in my home state since I don't plan to spend forever in the new one. But, more importantly, I have been maintaining the old address because the job I have in my Sunshiney-Home State is one I can keep, and I don't want them to decide I need the boot if I change my permanent address.

I am soooooooo mad!! I guess my Pacific Northwest Postal Carrier has decided he is a Postal Superhero and is making it his own personal battle to keep my mail from going down the mail slot. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! I knew I was on a list!!!!!!!!
