So I moved a little over a year ago. The three family house I live in converted to a two family. It wasn't a huge move (other than having to move all of my belongings up one flight of stairs) and it involved a minor address change (essentially one letter to another). No problem.
Flash forward to today when I realize the post office has been returning my mail to sender. Why? Well my forwarding order has expired. Fair enough. The asinine part is that they slapped a yellow forwarding sticker with my new address on an envelope that had my address EXACTLY the same as the one on the yellow sticker. So the post office was trying to forward mail with my current address to my current address. Hmm. Well obviously that isn't going to work. And it does explain why I have yet to get my replacement corporate credit card. The post office keeps sending it back.
For explanation the woman at the post office I called today said that our local street listing had me still listed at my old address. I filed a change of address at the post office. Why would you then take a locally published guide as rule of where I live? She also suggested it would have been less confusing if I had just moved to a whole other address. Apparently.
So tomorrow I have to do battle at the PO and try to get them to stop returning my mail to sender. I am sure it will be just as delightful as I imagine it.
