No, I didn't leave a word out.

The United States Postal Service has unofficially changed it's name to the United States Postal.

They have completely forgotten the last word of their former name, SERVICE!

We had some nasty rainstorms Monday, and the street I live on had many washouts. One washout was in front of my house, at the driveway, which, not surprisingly, is where my mailbox is.

We had no mail yesterday, and the mail which had been placed in the box for pickup was untouched. Soooooooo...

I called the local Post Office, and spoke to a woman there. I asked about the lack of both delivery and pickup, and was told that yes, it was because of the washout. I asked if they were going to notify me of the suspension of service, or were they just planning on waiting for everyone to call and inquire. Their answer?

"We mailed a suspension of service notice to everyone who was affected"


How am I going to get the notice IF YOU'RE NOT DELIVERING MAIL TO THE ADDRESS????????

As I tell my supervisor on a routine basis.....Don't begin to tell me that its the employee's fault that we're losing money.
