another postal screw up boy oh boy

went to post office this morning. conversation went like this
me: i have 3 questions please
her: okay shoot
me: can you tell me where this package is please?
her: sure-typing in the tracking number.
her: it is in ventura california
me: funny it was shipped from north carolina and it was supposed to be at my house yesterday.
me: what happened, did they forget to open plane door, pop chute and throw out of plane over my house?
her: no, it happens. packages get thrown in big box and shipped where most of the packages are bound for, then resent to where
they are supposed to go. happens quite often.
me: what do we do then?
her: if you don't have it by wednesday, call me here and i'll see what i can do.
me: thank you.
AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS OUR POSTAL SYSTEM. UNBELIEVABLE.
