When 'Change' is NOT good

You would think, wouldn't you, that the person who runs a post office (even a contracted post office- a satellite, if you will) would be kept informed of major changes in post office policy.


I would. I would think so. 
I expect so.   (note to self: must lower expectations.) 

And I'm wrong.

Can you believe I walked into work today (I was off yesterday; I might have found out a day sooner), to find that the postage rates have increased???

Seriously?
NOBODY could pass the word to me????

classic.

(Now before anybody panics**- the first class rate is still 42c. It's the Priority rate, flat rate, and International rate that has changed. To what? HellifIknow!)
**notice how I admirably avoided using the phrase 'goes postal' there. I get points for that.

So, I'm off to the USPS website, where the contracted employees go to find out how to send mail....
I like to memorize the rates BEFORE a change. So I'm a little miffed.
