The mail room

Ever since I have lived on campus, I've had issues with the mailroom: not putting mail in my box that is time sensitive, putting the wrong mail in the wrong mail boxes, and their hours being unrealistic. Now, my biggest fear due to mail has occurred.... lost mail.

I always thought, "hey, the mailroom messes up sometimes, but I will always get my mail, I can trust them with that..." Well, I was wrong. I saw my grandma yesterday for easter, and she asked why she did not receive a thank you note. (yeah, I'm a little old fashioned, I send thank you notes when I receive a gift.) And I told her I didn't know what she was talking about. She said she sent me a package for Valentine's Day (aww, how sweet!) but I never received said package.

With this being said, I am not SURE it was the mailroom, because the postal service can't really be trusted either, especially around holidays, but I predict the mail room had something to do with it. If my package pick up form went in someone else's box, I know there are people that would not hesitate to take my package and eat my candy. Furthermore, mail is delivered less often to the suites than those boxes in the mail room. (People may say this is not true, but my roommate has gone numerous times to pick up her Netflix in the mail room because they did not deliver it for days.)

I recently placed an online order to be sent to me, and I am a little concerned if it will actually make it. I am constantly tracking it, seeing where it is every second of the day. Luckily, it does not say delivered yet, because once it does, I will be the first to check out the mailroom.
