Post Office ruined my holiday

Not really, this is just a riff on all those people that count on things showing up in time for Christmas, etc.  I was planning on wearing my new Lee jeans from Amazon with my new Louis Del Olio ombre top to tomorrow's neighborhood picnic.  Of course nothing is here yet.  Any other time they would be here in 3 days.  Having worked at the post office briefly many years ago, I know they go to a skeleton crew around the summer holidays.

You just made me laugh out loud.   I suppose I could bash and trash the Post office because the white shirt I bought online for the Neiman Marcus discount site didn't arrive yesterday.  It should have, I wanted to wear it tomorrow with my new bleach denim capris.  It doesn't matter, I have other tops.  It will be here Tue. or perhaps Wed.

@chrystaltree   and if not by either of those, you should definitely have it in time for the Fourth of July.

If it isn't the Post Office, it's The Weatherman ruining all my perfect plans...

Re: Post Office ruined my holiday

Well, check back with me later and I MIGHT be ready to bash the post office.

 

However, right at this moment I'm 'lovin' the post office.  Why?  Well, I get quite a bit of useless stuff from QVC.  In the past it was delivered to my garage door and sat out in the rain (because I didn't know it was there).

 

However, that problem has been settled.  A friend got me a large Rubbermaid box with a lid.  It sits at the top of the driveway (beside the garage door).  

 

Another friend put a sign in my mailbox door that says, "Please deliver the packages to the garage".  Then there is a sign on the garage door that says, "Please put packages in the box to the left".

 

The same friend installed the "RING" thing at the front door and at the garage door.  So when the post office or UPS delivers the packages (and puts them inside the Rubbermaid box) my RING goes off and I know something was delivered.

 

Problem solved.  But, like I said, check back another time and I'll probably be unhappy about something the post office has done because before that....well...I was really angry 24/7.
