[Demeter]

34. NOT from the Onion

here at the condo association, we are having problems with our mail delivery.

Evidently, the post office carriers do not like going house to house (we don't have centralized mailboxes, because it wasn't the fashion when the place was built, and frankly, there's no place to retrofit such, nor should we have to. Grandfathering has its purpose, after all...)

We had a carrier get out of sequence, deliver a whole street to one address off (each address clearly labeled with brand new, highly visible numbers, within spitting distance of the mail slots...and then request the staff to open all the units so she could retrieve and redeliver!

Now, we have a carrier who came to the office and asked: which units are vacant. When told there are exactly 2, he THEN went peering into windows, and decided for himself that nobody lived there, and sent all the mail back to the senders! Which we found out when the annual meeting mailings were returned a week after they were mailed...

There's got to be at least two felonies per address...and lots of people not getting their bills and checks...and there were a lot of addresses.

The world has gone mad.
