When you stop mail delivery for a few days, the card you fill out has two boxes to check. One box says you want delivery to start again automatically. The other box says you’ll come pick up any accumulated mail and have delivery reinstated personally. I chose the second option. I wasn’t sure how much mail would come and I didn’t know if I would for sure be back on the second.
When I went to the post office to retrieve my mail yesterday, they couldn’t find it. I waited in the lobby for about fifteen minutes. It was finally discovered that my mail was all with the mail carrier already. He was going to put it in my mailbox. He did, along with the card that says: “I will pick up all accumulated mail when I return and understand that mail delivery will not resume until I do so.”
Silly post office.
“Silly” post office. I guess you know that the USPS is screening your website, or I’m sure you would have used stronger language, eh?
Looks like you got a seed catalog. Carrots and radishes? Are you just luring your victims?
Hehe…
Actually, my first draft said “Stupid government”, but I don’t want to be put on the no-fly list.
People shouldn’t fear the government; The government should fear the people.
Is that a Ron Paul quote?
Didn’t Ron Paul also say-“So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
and this-“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
I don’t think Hillary would appreciate your jokes.
I was thinking this same thing too Lauren. Is “silly” an acrogram? Is “silly” the new ________?
And they may have delivered it because it’s apparently been sitting around the Post Office for a whole year now.
Good catch. I didn’t notice the return date until now ;).
Yes, Brad Royuk has the power to travel back in time – just look at his hair!
Yes, the USPS isn’t what it used to be, that’s for sure. I think it was a monopoly too long and now it’s trying very hard to compete with companies that ship better…
Nice job covering your signature so all of internetdom can’t see it and copy it for identity stealing purposes!
You stole my thoughts Beth!
Now you didn’t actually think your local postal office READ what you bothered to fill out for them, did you, Brad?
Silly customer.
But honestly, just today I got a catalogue for spring clothing that included a $39.99 outfit on sale for $35.99 with a box over the lower right corner of its photo that said “Compare at $34″…I don’t think the copy writers read their own stuff either.
Watch what you say…..OUR OWN “Cliffy Clavin” is out there fighting off them dogs every day.
