I...can't really say I'm surprised
Feb. 4th, 2010 10:18 amI think I've mentioned before that I'm the resident mail opener here at work (my posts a while back with the bubble wrap should have told you that. XD). Well, over the last few weeks I've had this problem piece of mail show up on my desk....again.....and again.....and again.....and again.... ~,~;; Actually, that's just right...I've had it at my desk four times now.
You see....I've been working here over a year, I've been doing the mail since day 1. I have a really good idea of what kind of documents come to me and who they go to. So I open this piece of mail and stamp the date on it and start looking at it trying to figure out who is goes to....it's....not something I recognize....at all... I notice on the envelope that the Mail Stop (MS) number is 2000. Well, "my" MS is 2109. Okay, that answers that. I stick it back in the envelope, tape it closed and take it back to our little mail room and stick it in the box labeled "2000".
A day later....It's back at my desk....not reopened either. First assumption is that it's something that was mis-delivered to someone else and now they've sent it to me. I open it...and, no...it's the one that I put back in the mail room. Oookay...I tape it up, write in big, bold, black letters "NOT 2109" and drop it back in the mail room, this time in out "mis-delivered" bin.
When I get mail again a few days later.....it's back....my tape still uncut. >,< Lazy ass just went and stuck it back in my box. What? You think I'm stupid? You think that I opened it, looked at it, and like a complete moron went "Oh, I don't feel like dealing with this right now, I think I'll just stick it back in the mail to deal with another day. Hee hee"? C'mon! Give me a break! I know what belongs to me and the people I work with and what doesn't, and this is NOT our mail, dammit!
So this time I take it to a co-worker. A really great lady who'll be retiring come June and I show it to her. I tell her that I honestly don't know what to do with it. I've gotten it three times now, I'm pretty /sure/ is doesn't go to anyone here, but seeing as it keeps coming back.... She looked it over and...sure enough, it's NOT mine. It doesn't belong in this branch, it doesn't even belong in this DEPARTMENT. I'm part of the CA Health Care Services. This is supposed to go to CA Public Health. Different branches, we DO NOT share mail. Okay, so my wonderful co-worker says she'll take care of it.
Lo and behold, what do I find in the mail today (which has actually been sitting on my desk since yesterday, and came in on Tuesday)? You guessed it...it's back. *SIGHS* I took it back to my co-worker today...again....and we both rolled our eyes and determined that someone in the mail department is being a lazy ass and not doing what they's supposed to. >,<
*sighs* Sorry...guess I just felt the need to rant. =3 *done now* *puts attention back to the stack of important mail that really does belong to us.*
