#AusPost seem to have fallen over re: #deliveries to my neck of the woods since last week.

Items that were en route to my local #PostOffice for delivery last Thursday & Friday have vanished in #tracking.

An enquiry as to their whereabouts has updated tracking to “delayed” & an update to delivery of 2 weeks on their due date since I asked where they are!

#WTF!?

Tiptonville TN Post Office

A small United States Post Office building is situated in a rural area, with an American flag flying prominently in front. Leafless trees and a few scattered clouds create a backdrop for the scene.

Three things to do today, and I've nailed two of them. Was only expecting to pick away at the third item a bit, and now that it's sunny and hot outside that seems accurate.

Got in a nice walk to the #postOffice too! It didn't go well, though. My usual simple mail-a-package transaction, but the clerk who was so smooth at it before seemed to have forgotten all the steps this time. Many retries and we finally got there. Rarely not a challenge. I should keep a scorecard.

Stick with me here:

Maybe the 6 increases in stamp prices wasn't to improve service delivery, but rather to cover derisory gov fines for missed targets - leaving even more money for dividends and exec payouts.

Post Offices are gloriously self funding, subtract billionaire profit and bang, good to go. Good jobs, great service, fully Canadian in every nook and cranny, not a dime leaves as profit.

The Post Office is the subject of lies, attacks, conspiracies and bullshit.

It does the exact same service as FedEx but it also SERVES HOMES as if they owned rhe enterprise. Use it, demand it grow and improve.

Happy Mothers Day

If you are a mother living in the US then today is your day. Happy Mothers Day to you. I hope you had a good one.

I learned something today that will make the whole nightmare that is shooting film easier. Turns out the post office in Salem, NH has a package drop box. I ordered developing for four rolls of film earlier and the package is already in the mail. Granted the post office was closed so it won’t be going anywhere until some time tomorrow but yeah, the post office piece of the workflow is done.

What else? Because I got up at 4:00am to go sunrise chasing, I didn’t do my daily exercise first thing in the morning. I did it at 4:00pm and somehow, someway, it was 1000000000000000 times harder to do in the afternoon than it is in the morning. Why is that? I don’t know.

I have made a command decision. Normally I try to make my work-in-the-office days Monday and Wednesday. This week I am swapping Monday for Tuesday. Why? Because tomorrow is Monday, I only got four hours of sleep last night, and I just don’t wanna.

Okay, there is a new episode of The Last of Us airing tonight. I need to go get ready for that, emotionally speaking.
