Going Postal: Why I’m P.O.ed at the P.O.

The Post Office wants to raise the price of stamps two cents to 46 cents. Please indulge me for a minute to give my two cents worth about the P.O. and my 18 months in “mail hell.”

In “mail hell” you don’t get your bills, your checks, or your bank statements on time, if ever. You get slammed with late charges and reconnection charges. Your phone, Internet service, cable, and utilities are cut off. Your voter registration is revoked. Your credit rating is reduced to shambles. All because of a screw up by the P.O. that has taken on Kafkaesque overtones. Or else the Newman character from “Seinfeld” is running the P.O.

This is how it happened.
