Why so slow?

I am getting aggravated with our post man. First of all, he must not be able to read addresses very well because I am consistently getting other people's mail. Makes me wonder if anyone is getting mine. Then, we do not get our mail until late...some days after 6. Blah. My biggest gripe right now is that my dad mailed me a box two weeks ago and I still have not gotten it. Makes me wonder if it went to someone elses house or if the mail is backed up. I know it took a while for my Christmas cards to make it across to WA. I was really hoping to have the package by today seeing how it has the Santa suit in it and we were going to have Santa show up today at our party. BLAH! Maybe there will be a miracle and it will show up this afternoon, but I am not counting on it. I am really upset that it is not here. It took me forever to convince Matt to dress up as Santa and now he doesn't have to. All that wasted energy. LOL I don't get why the mail would be so slow since I was just reading an article the other day that the postal service is expecting 1 billion less packages this year than last. Wouldn't you think that would make it go faster? Ugh...come on mailman, bring me my box and learn what addresses go where...
