Mystery Package is Mysterious
So, I'm not sure how many people still read this. How many people read it in the first place?
Anyway. About three mondays ago, the post office attempted to give me a package. Because I and everyone else was at work at the time, the post office instead left this little orange notice saying that they had been there with a package.
Since I was going to be at work every day that week, I figured I'd show up to the post office on the weekend and claim my mystery package then. The post office had their hours listed on the form, and it said that they were totally open on weekends.
On saturday, the 3rd of July, I tracked down the post office and attempted to claim my package... only to discover that they were closed. You could get in to pick up mail from P.O. boxes, but that's it.
Defeated, I returned home to plan my vengeance. That tuesday, the post office left yet another little orange notice in the mailbox. This one had a package number on it.
Also on the orange notice was a website I could go to in order to schedule when I wanted them to deliver my package. I told them to bring it by on the 12th, a monday, because I had that day off.
We didn't any mail at all that day. Not even a little orange notice.
Today, before work, I went and stopped at the post office. I brought my little orange notice with the package number with me.
Incidentally, the hours listed on the notice are completely different than the hours listed on the USPS website. The notice says they're open from 6AM to 5PM monday through friday, and from 6AM to 12PM on saturday. They're actually only open from 8:30AM to 5PM monday through friday. That's it.
For some crazy reason this specific post office is on Yelp, too. Mostly they have 1-star reviews.
So I go in and brandish my little orange notice at them. They take it and go into the back. And I wait. And wait. And then they come back going 'Are you sure you didn't come in already and pick up this package? No? When were you last here?' And then they go into the back again and I wait some more.
Did you know they've got these little charts that make it easy to identify if a package is a cubic foot in volume? You just line it up against the lines, measure the package's height, and compare that with another number the chart gives you. If the height is bigger than the number, it's larger than a cubic foot! Magic!
They have no idea where my package is. They don't seem confident that it even exists. The number written on the little orange notice is missing the last four digits, so they have no method of locating it.
I gave them my phone number and they said they'd call me if they find it. I'm not at all confident that this is going to happen.
Currently, I'm contemplating going back to that website and asking them to forward it to Kiryn and Khoa's address, but the way this is going they'd wind up forwarding all of my mail - except for the package.
I have no idea who even sent me this thing. If you mailed me a package recently, please let me know.
