I thought I could put it behind me, dear reader, but I am still fuming over a visit to the postal service at the Eileen Dugan Senior Center on Court Street.
Forget for a moment that our neighborhood lost a postal truck and had to beg for this 4 hour, one-day-a-month service. What really got me upset is that I seized January's window of postal opportunity on Friday and carried a package over to the senior center just to be told that...you guessed it...they don't accept larger packages.
Now let me point out that there was no one in line ahead of me, that the very unfriendly postal worker was making a personal call on her cell phone as I walked in and that the package was a return with the return postage already on it. I just wanted to drop it off, but was told that I had to go to the Red Hook station.
I pointed out to Ms. Postal that there were no signs about the acceptable size anywhere. My box measured 18x15x11 inches ( yes, I measured, I was that mad). Hardly a huge box, but she refused to take it. I ended up schlepping it back home, fuming all the way.
Pardon me for asking, but will Carroll Gardens ever get the postal office it deserves?
