Post office efficiency
Around Thanksgiving, I called and asked for some special military addressing package the USPS has for sending packages to troops stationed overseas. Customs forms, all the right versions of whatever the frig documentation I needed. “7 days, sir.”
Bastards. Christmas rush my ass. This is ridiculous. Fucking government. Even when they privatize they suck. I’ll just hit my local branch and ask them to help. Somehow I lucked out and the branch is full of helpful, generally cheerful and friendly people.
I often wonder which one of them will snap first, and will they turn their rage inward at their fellow workers, or will it be us, the public, on whom they unleash their fury?

Could end up being the other way around.
After the last big snow storm I noticed that my mail stopped coming. I asked my neighbors, and they said the same thing. I called the Bristol post office to see what was up.
Me: Hello, I live on: XXXX and I noticed that my mail stopped last Thursday.
Post office guy: You need to clean a path to your mailbox.
Me: The box is right on the street.
Post office guy: Well, I used to get out of my truck, but these guys don’t want to get out of their trucks. You need to clean a path so that they can drive up.
Me: Are you kidding? What if my box was attached to my house? Does the guy have to drive over my lawn?
Post office guy: You need to call the town. *Click*
