 This e-mail stuff is a going concern. Evidently a large number of people use it every day. It's a big thing. We at Pigdump probably couldn't survive without it.And then there's snail mail, or what Canada Post likes to call mail. Pigdump has been surviving quite nicely without the use of hand-delivered missives... until this month. Four times this month, the crack team leaders at Pigdump have relied on the top quality door to door mail service promised by that most glorious national service. They came through on one occasion. That's right, Canada Post went 1 for 4 in the month of April. Now, if these snail mail events had been postcards to friends or some kind of market research replies, we wouldn't really care. But no, these were all high priority, high falutin' packages:
- a cheque sent registered mail to pay an eBay dealer for an out-of-print book took 4 weeks to travel across the country
- car insurance for Pigdump's new company car was sent to the home offices 3 weeks ago... it hasn't arrived
- the crack account company that Pigdump retains in Mississauga sent a package of our income tax information -- receipts, slips, invoices -- 2 weeks ago... it hasn't arrived and SUNDAY IS THE DEADLINE!!!!!!
It's enough to make us go postal, you know?
The lesson learned here, well, there are many. Never trust your national mail service. Ever. Apparently they have an eService now too.... don't trust it either. Don't buy a gun. If you already have a gun, don't go near the post office. Don't even think about it. Don't even let yourself fantasize about walking into a post office with a gun... don't...
Tomorrow: The weekend funnies.
