No Saturday mail delivery? Fuck you bitches!

The postmaster general asked Congress today to lift the requirement that the postal service deliver mail six days a week.  He wants them to allow him to cut Saturday mail delivery.  Well then you know what, bitch?  You'd better also cut the price of stamps!  (Yet another rate increase is schedule for May, which takes a lot of balls considering this latest news, don't you think?)

This really galls me because I am currently in the midst of a postal service fiasco.  I moved a three months ago and the pigs still haven't managed to forward my mail!  They have my old address (an apartment with another apartment above it) in their system as non-residential so the change of address can't be done online.  I contacted them about the error twice but get this:  They told me point-blank they have no intention of fixing the error! 

So I printed their little old skool Change of Address form and left it for my mail carrier, which it says to do right on the form.  I put it in my mailbox with huge red lettering stating "FOR MAIL CARRIER - CHANGE OF ADDRESS REQUEST."  And for six days, that lazy pig opened the box and pretended he didn't see it.  When I taped it to the outside of the box, making it so obvious he could no longer pretend it he'd missed it, he finally took it.  But the mother fucker obviously threw it away because it never got processed. 

There's also an address on the form so I found a stamp and put the letter in an envelope with the exact address stated on the form.  It was returned to me with no explanation.  Just a huge stamp of a hand pointing its index finger.  I have no time for this bullshit so my boyfriend took the envelope to an actual post office where he encountered yet another lazy pig.  The lazy pig told him the address on the envelope was incomplete.  THE ADDRESS ON THE ENVELOPE WAS A PERFECT-TO-THE-LETTER COPY OF THE ADDRESS STATED ON THE FORM! 

Aside form that whole drama, the US postal service is one of the worst organization I can even think of.  It consists of a bunch of lazy assholes who get paid too much and do too little.  You know what Congress should do about the postmaster general's request?  They should just shut the thing down and the American public get things delivered via paid services like FedEx or UPS.  "There, postmaster:  Your funding issues are solved.  Now get lost!"
