My mail carrier can go directly to hell

As I said in an earlier post, The Hub and I suspect that our mail carrier is slacking on the job. We've noticed in the past few months that we'll go days without getting anything in the mail, then we'll get a whole whack of stuff in one day. Very strange.

I checked our mailbox on Tuesday, and have been so busy this week I forgot to check the rest of the week. Hub said he checked this morning, and there was nothing. NOTHING in three days? Then he went and checked again around 5pm and there were a couple of things there. Hmmm.

Our mail carrier also doesn't show up at a regular time - when we first moved in, our mail usually arrived by 11am. Now it's freaking all over the place, sometimes 10am, sometimes never!

Note the dedication this mail carrier displays in getting the mail out. Something my mail carrier couldn't give a crap about, evidently.

As a sidenote, I'm super pissed now because I didn't get my freaking census form last week! I wanted to count myself in! I tried to call the Census to get a form or find out how I could be counted, but I haven't been able to get through. I can't help but think that my lazy-ass mail carrier is somehow responsible!

I'm now keeping a list of what arrives when, and I'm going to be noting postmarks on my mail and checking with my neighbours. She better get off her ass and start doing her job right, 'cuz Bex is on her tail! And she better hope she isn't delivering the mail when I show up at the mailbox with my shitkickers on and Chauncey Jackson at my side!
