Whatever the bloody hell happened to the motto that went something like "Through rain, snow sleet or hail" they're supposed to get the damned mail delivered. So here we are. No sign of sleet, snow, nor impending rain. Perfect days, no traffic, just regular. Two days later and still not a single piece of junk in the mail. Highly impossible! I've not seen a day since I've moved to the United States when our mailbox was empty. I highly, highly doubt we've not had mail for two days!
Somewhere out there is some incompetent idiot whom I've been told is "new" on our route (yes I filed a complaint, three times today, trying to get to the bottom of this stupidity and nobody anywhere can tell me why we happen to have the stupid one delivering our mail).
Reason why I'm fuming is because we're expecting two different checks in the mail. We needed it yesterday and they would have arrived it if hadn't been for the idiot who didn't deliver our mail. But of course we still haven't gotten it. This isn't the only beef I have with the USPS. Last time, my sister put in for a change of address when she moved to Reno. Not only did they forward her mail to her new Reno address, they decided to forward mine as well even if PAULINE looks nothing like LAUSANNE when written down on paper. I had bills that went missing for three weeks as they criss-crossed back and forth between Las Vegas and Reno, and I had the dastardly job calling up credit companies explaining to them how the government's postal service are all a bunch of illiterate yoohoos, and really, it wasn't my fault my payments were late. They also often deliver mail that belongs to some guy two streets down from us, or our packages have ended up at some person's house around the block. Lucky for us, they were nice enough to hand deliver it to our door.
How does the post office hire and train these people? I imagine them chugging down one too many comped drinks before interviewing a potential employee. I mean what the hell - we see a new mail person on a regular basis meaning they either 1.) have a fast turnover rate or 2.) are so desparate they'll hire any willing US citizen that can drive a right-hand drive postal truck - never mind if they can read or follow a map of their delivery route. One of these days it won't be a postal worker shooting it up inside the local post office...
