CRANKY.

Dear mailcarrier,

Yes. I understand that snow on our steps means you don't have to give us our mail (despite the snow actually being less slippery than our steps on a damp day). But I shoveled this morning, at nine a.m.. I even shoveled the boys' steps, so you would be able to go up and around and give them their mail, too. I would like my netflix dvds, MY PAYCHECK, and my roommate would like her blockbuster dvds. That's on top of any other mail we should have gotten OVER THE LAST WEEK that you haven't actually delivered.

But you did not deliver. In fact, you left us with nothing.

I apologize for not being down there, in the cold, with my fucking laptop in my lap, so you would HAVE to deliver our mail (or look like a lazy idiot).

Monday, I will be calling the carrier supervisor before I go to work, so that, yes, I can get the mail from the LAST FUCKING WEEK delivered to us.

Be glad I'm on direct deposit, or I'd be far angrier about this.

Unimpressed with your delivery skills,
me.

Neither rain nor snow.... is such utter bullshit.

YES. Yes, you do.

I thought it was "ice" not "snow" egads.. what are they doing these days - not delivering anything from mid-nov until late may? (and yes you can tell that supervisor *I* said that.)

*laughs* It might be. I'm really bad at remembering things like that.

I wish him an ear infection.

DL.

Yes! A replacement might be better at it!

Ooh, I had an ear infection a few weeks ago, but I went to work anyway. I'm sure lyssie's carrier would file workman's comp over a like scenario.

Umm, actually, there are circs where they don't have to deliver. But I feel your pain. My soon-to-be-former letter carrier has left me without mail for up to three weeks at a time. I've spoken to the post master, but am finally giving up and moving.

... see, and that just seems way fishy, to me. I mean, I know there are thingies which mean he can pike off when there's snow. But.

Bah. [livejournal.com profile] kkglinka is the awesomest carrier I know.

And I really am kicking myself for not sitting down there or going to get my mail directly from him.

smack them for me.

stoopid mail people. explain to me what the issue is about refusing to deliver boxes, making me come to the post office and then getting nasty with me when i show up at the %^&#%#$ post office to pick up my last shopping-while-working escapade and you actually left the box on my porch??????
