PO = PIssed off

Just when I'm sorta thinking that the Post Office has evolved into a different organization, a service organization which really cares about it's customers and share of market, etc. they go and surprise me with an act so pissy that I wonder how I ever thought things had changed.

The latest is this:
We addressed one of our Christmas cards to 6310 Anywhere Avenue, Long Beach.  It was promptly returned with the notation that 6310 Anywhere didn't exist.  That was it, no help as to what the address might be, just the blunt "doesn't exist".  We suspect that the postman even recognized the address since it would be only two short blocks away.

We looked in our address database and, sure enough, the correct address was 6510 so Carolyn scratched out the old address and wrote in the correct one.   This time the card didn't make it out of Carmichael.  It was returned to us with a note attached to the envelope which read:

From 95608 - New postage required as was already attempted with address at 6310.  When corrected needs new postage.

And they wonder that so many people are using email more and more.
