So I'm getting married tomorrow and I've been slowly moving for the last couple of weeks. I put in my change of address on Dec 15, asking for it to be effective on the 21st. Since then I've gotten a grand total of 3 pieces of mail. There's a couple things that I'm waiting on, one being a large check. So I called the post office and had the following conversation:
Me: hi, I recently moved from on address in Flower Mound to another address in Flower Mound. I'm not getting my mail.
PO lady: what's the new address?
Me: 1600 Pennsylvania(I actually gave the real one)
PO lady: lemme check
(Hangs up on me)
(I call back
Me:hi, it's me again, can I have my mail?
POL: I checked with your old carrier and your new carrier and they aren't holding your mail.
Me: why would they?
POL: sometimes they hold your mail for a week or so to give you time to get moved.
Me: do people commonly live in their cars for a week between moves?
POL: sir, I'm not sure.
Me: ok, so where's my mail?
POL: it's in the system. It takes about 2 weeks to process the address change.
Me: but I moved from Flowet Mound to Flower Mound.
POL: I understand, but it's a system.
ME: but it's there somewhere? Can I swing by and grab it? This seems really simple.
POL: sir, it could be anywhere.
ME: how is that? I maybe forgot to mention that I moved from Flower Mound to Flower Mound. It's all the same post office.
POL: I know, but it takes 2 weeks.
Me: is this 2015? You mean to tell me that in 2015 it takes 2 weeks to get your mail from Flower Mound to Flower Mound but I'm supposed to believe we shot a man to the moon way back in 1969? There seems to be a strange technology gap.
POL: good point
Me: where's my mail?
I mean, cmon man!!!!
