Lizet's Place

I went to the post office that serves my sister's city and spoke with the clerk there.

Once the change of address notice is placed in the system, it takes 7-10 days for it to be processed and mail to be re-routed. During that time, the mail is being held at a sorting facility and then it will be delivered to the correct post office and later delivered to the proper address.

So by the end of the week the processing should be done and this weekend or the beginning of next week, I'll get my mail? I hope so!

And she couldn't tell me where my package was. Either someone at my apartment has it, or it's sitting at the sorting facility (and hasn't really been delivered) or it got returned back to Amazon. If I don't get it by December 1, I'm going to let Amazon know that I never got it. I've changed future amazon orders to go directly to my sister's place so if anyone gets anything off my wishlist there, it won't get lost in the mail.

also, my Hawaii Five-0 download is taking forever! cable internet may be faster, but it's pissing me off with how slow it is right now.

it seems our letter carrier can see into the apartment and noticed it was vacant so held the mail. I went to 2 post offices before I could get my mail, then I was told I'd have to have the mail forwarded since no one was living at that address. Just great! It looks like with 1 card, the mail for an entire family can be forwarded. I think my sister might have to do her own since her last name is different. Also, while the move is temporary, we don't know when we'll be able to move back in! It could be December 15 or January 1, so what date do I put?!

oh and I dialed the home number, the one we've had for over 20 years, and there's a recording saying the number's been changed to my dad's cell number! So I call that to hear what greeting is given and there's a recording saying his number has been disconnected! what the ever-loving fuck! Who the hell goes on vacation and has their home number forwarded to their cell phone, then manages to get their cell phone number disconnected?! I don't know if we'll be able to get the same number back once we move back in either.

Now I feel like I'm floundering because I have no one I can contact until Monday when my parents get to my brother's place!

My parents could have handled this temporary move so much better. This is ridiculous.
