Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hivemind question:
If I have reason to believe some of my mail has been disappearing, what can I do about it? We never got an EW last week (usually arrives Fri. or Sat.), and I'm also missing the RWA monthly newsletter, which everyone else in the Seattle chapter seems to have gotten between Fri. and Mon. It makes me wonder what else is missing. We've had some problems with USPS lately--the wussy delivery driver who won't deliver our mail unless there's enough space between our cars in the mailbox to park two postal vans, the incompetent one who skipped a neighbor's box and left all of us with the mail belonging one house to the north, etc. It's making me want to go postal on the postal service, but I'm not sure how much attention I'll get just for bitching that I know some magazines are missing and I'm worried that's not all.

There's an 800 number you can call to report possible missing mail, and as I know from having worked on that phone line, there's a whole section in the computer on missing magazines and such. Considering I know a lot of people who still work on that line, though, you might be get better service by going to your post office yourself if it's convenient and politely mentioning you're missing things. Post office people get tired of only being talked to when something's gone wrong, and will be very pleased to help someone nice.
At least, they should be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
SO exciting about the ivory billed woodpecker.
Has anybody told Billytea?

It's not earth shattering worldwide news?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You can call the Postmaster at the post office for your zipcode.
I had to do that when my mail carrier was returning all mail sent to me, saying I didn't live there.
There's no guarantee that it will help, but it's a place to start....

That's a good idea, Connie. I'll try that.
(There was an EW this week, right? I want to make sure I have two things missing before I complain.)
