My pension check has not arrived yet! Coincedently, we have a substitute mailperson. My check is always delivered a few days before the first. Now, I’m supposed to act like everythings cool and it’s runnin’ alittle late because of the Holidays. Well Bull excremate! I think the mailperson is somehow responsible. What if she put my Check in one of those junk-mail adds,if she did,it got thrown away. This started-out as MPSIMS but I’m getting madder the more I type. The Jury Duty summons had no problem getting delivered.

Is it from some branch of the government? If so, you’re not alone. My mom had the same problem, and apparently so did a bunch of other people this week.
