really done had it with the USPS

The constant loss of mail, is befuddling.

I know because I get a daily email from informed delivery, showing me a scan of things that are supposed to come that day.

From memory, here's a list of things that never made it.

Car paperwork, MRI prior authorization, utility switch confirmation, W2 forms, credit card statements, bank statement, county tax bill, pension plan transition paperwork.

This is simply from memory.

There are days the carrier doesn't even show up (blink cams).

I learned long ago, "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these carriers from the swift appointment of their appointed rounds."

Yep, I was a young buck and got into an argument with a postal worker, at the Jake Farley bldg in Manhattan. The clerk schooled me that the architectural firm of McKim Mead & White made that up, it was never, and will never be the USPS' motto. I remember thinking to myself, it's a good thing that one can get poor service and a history lesson in one stop.

Good to see that all these years later, things haven't changed.

Now to be serious--if I'm this aggravated about it today, when I'm elderly, what will it be like then, wasting time trying to call on the phone to get lost things replaced? Hint--when you call, they have no idea what you are talking about, that you never got something they mailed, or, once convinced you didn't get something, knowing what it actually was or what it said.

The end. lol

p.s. by going online, it looks like our county taxes went up double digits multiple years in a row, like 20 or so. Who the heck approves these things, and where do council members live, in another county?
