(no subject)

My "uniform" gown has been shipped. I pray it fits me, since it wasn't ordered for me but for the lady who passed last month whose office I have taken. If we have to re-order in my sizes it probably won't be here before Grand Chapter (but the odds that I will have to re-order the skirt are excellent, since I usually need to order Extra Length).

At least it's red for next year, instead of mint green. I am not a mint green kind of girl.

Literal minded machines

Stupid address checker.
Our last mailing list run bounced One Glen Square (it's 1 Glen St.), 6801 Jerichp Rd (Jericho) and from 245 Rodger Ave (Roger Ave.).

Back in the oooooollllddd days, the letter carrier would be allowed the brains to intervene on these things. Now, if the address doesn't conform exactly, it's kicked out as Undeliverable. The USPS is saving their money by making our company spend the money (me) to clean these things up.

I can see a future where we don't even have human letter carriers, we just have little automated jeeps who put only the correctly addressed mail into the correctly sized boxes located an appropriate distance from the curb.
