Another thing that has been suffering in the snow? Mail delivery. Since Saturday was a holiday some folks haven't received anything form the post office since Friday. The USPS didn't even bother to try and deliver mail on Monday, and Tuesday's deliveries were relegated to first-class mail going on shortened routes. The Post Office promised the Times it was making "every effort to attempt mail delivery until the roads are cleared." Good, so what about today?
According to the USPS' website "Although road conditions continue to delay delivery and mail pickup, delivery is being attempted in all areas and conditions are improving by the hour. The 3-digit ZIP Codes most affected are: Long Island 005, 115, 117-119; and the Triboro area 103, 110-114 and 116."
And we did an informal internal poll around the office and found that postal workers made it to about half of us yesterday. So we figured we'd ask a wider audience. When did you get your mail?

We got our mail today in Astoria, but I was surprised that it was only one piece of mail from our gym. Weird. Maybe they're holding off on delivering junk mail?

It's after 4:30 PM and the mailman has just arrived. I'll have some mail in about an hour, the first of the week. I'm in Astoria on a street that did not get plowed until today.

Is that Herodotus quote going to be buffed out of the Farley Post Office?

Why? It's never really been truthful. It mentions gloom of night, but when was the last time you got a letter in the wee hours?

OH NOES I guess i can't get my valupak coupon for the week and I will surely miss that final opportunity to sell my car lease back to the dealer.
USPS, I am shaking my angry fist at you!!!

Go green, go digital.

So when you buy things online, say a new douche, do you expect it to arrive via email, and then you just print it out and use it?

No, I would use your mama's tongue. I would also suggest paying extra for UPS or Fed Ex for your purchases.

Tell my CoOp management company that, they are the only bill I have to mail a check for.
