I now see why it takes so long to receive a letter USPS

We finally have amazon vans doing deliveries down here, the post office was trying to keep up with it all. Either temps and part time workers for the postal deliveries or a whole lot of overtime. We need a mail czar to get it running smooth ?
 
Me and the wife were lost AS HELL on the way back from Cartersville two weeks ago and I saw a sign pointing to Palmetto, GA. I just told my wife "Hell no, don't go there. That's the Post Office Black Hole. We'll never make it home from there."
I have never seen a sign in Cartersville saying Palmetto. :thumb:

Yeah that's why we were SO damn lost. We got off southbound I75 on Barret Parkway to eat at this damn good Mexican place called Chuy's which is right beside Costco. I saw a sign pointing to Hwy 41 pointing towards Barret when we exited. I wanted to get to 41 and avoid the traffic jam along 75. Because the trip up took twice as long since the slow ass traffic started in Jackson which is way before it usually gets backed up.
Anyway I asked the waitress if Barrett Parkway was 41 and was told that Cobb Parkway was actually 41 and to look for some damn whole foods at the corner of Barret and Cobb. About 20 miles later we were STILL on Barret with no signs of a damn Whole Foods or 41. And these damn Google powered phone GPSs act like 41 doesn't even exist.

At one point we were in the City of South Fulton and got led through the hood and industrial area. We eventually turned on Butner or some such street which took us by a scrap metal yard. Well scrap yards almost always have train tracks very close by. And guess what ... there was a ******* train right across the road we needed to be on and it was definitely not moving. By then my head is about to explode. Somehow we wound up in Luthersville. I only know that because I saw the water tower going into town. I believe it said something like "Town of Luthersville... You either live here or you're lost."
Eventually we made it to Barnesville where 341 starts . And 341 runs through Roberta (Methville) and then Ft Valley and eventually Perry. I stopped at the Barnesville Ingles got some Rolaids and Modelo and handed the keys to the wife. We SHOULD have been back in Perry around 4:00 PM but instead we got home at almost 9:00.:frusty:

Damn, you did go around the world. Bunch of little old towns down that way. I do know how you went, Buckner will carry you to Highway 92 which is close to Palmetto. Lord help Barrett Parkway ain’t 41 but Cobb Parkway is.

Y'all get allover the place. You can't get there from here.....LOL, that was an adventure just reading the story......
 
Dropped by my locate post office to drop a letter in the outside box. It was so full, there were pieces of mail sticking out of the slot. I came back home with my letter and told my wife. She said it’s been like that for several days. :doh:

It's been like that for years at the Suwanee post office. That post office SUCKS ASS.
