Late Mail
September 21st, 2007 · Posted in Family, Jokage · 3 CommentsAustralia Post is getting sloppy.
Today we had yet another item turn up late. It arrived in the last few days at my parents’ house, and had been sent on August 19th. For those of you reading this in the future, the date today is the 21st of September.
This bit of mail, sent from one suburb over took over a month and five years to arrive.
That’s right, today Jen and I received a letter congratulating us on our recently announced engagement. And we have been married four and a half years now.
My hat’s off to you, workers of Australia Post, for your tireless efforts to get the mail through, rain, hail, or temporal vortex!
RodeoClown: wonders if the senders were annoyed we never thanked them for the note…

Far out!!?? I can’t imagine it’s been travelling the world since then… so … it’s just been sitting somewhere in a bag in a room with a bunch of other lost mail for 5 years??

Nah, it’s been ripped open, not travelling.
Apparently the security group of Australia Post had been investigating a worker there.
I imagine (s)he thought it might have money in it, and so opened it.
Bad luck for them I guess.
