The USPS is retarded
Friday, 5 September 2008 14:52I got a call this morning regarding an overdue bill from Waste Management. I bitched at the girl because if I owed them money I should be getting a bill in the mail, and none have arrived since I was credited for two years' worth of a yard waste bin subscription they never bothered to send us a yard waste bin for. I wasn't expecting a bill in the mail for a while.
Turns out that every single bill or mail item with Garret's name on it goes directly to Garret. It does not pass go, does not collect $200, and DOES NOT GET BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. Why? Garret is a pussy who would rather play WoW in his copious amounts of free time than drop me an email telling me a bill I need to pay has been sent to him by mistake. So far I have missed out on the bill for the alarm monitoring system, the waste management service, and our IRS rebate check -- all because the post office has ignored the little checkbox that says "INDIVIDUAL" next to it.
I think this may be why I'm not receiving my land line bill as well. They haven't shut it off yet, and the only reason it's still active is for the alarm monitoring system, so I have no idea what else to do but call Verizon (again) and tell them to take his name off the account.
Taking Garret's name off of the house accounts shouldn't be this much of a pain in the ass. He doesn't live here and hasn't for months. He hasn't even come by to get any of the shit he insisted he keep in the separation agreement, or bothered to send anyone to claim it. He is no longer relevant to this address. ( RANT )
I think I wouldn't be so easily irritable if I knew where my next meal was coming from, or if I'd be able to pay my mortgage for October. Right now I really hate my life.
