So I received The American Community Survey, otherwise known as the US census. I know that it's time-sensitive, but I set it aside. Then I got another one, and I was like, oh, yeah, I'd better take care of that! At which time I realized that both of them were addressed to my neighbor. Now I have to get both of these envelopes to my neighbor. Does my neighbor have my census? Did my neighbor fill out my census for my address with his information? If my neighbor doesn't have it, does someone else on the street? Or was I never intended to receive one? My local postal worker knew that he was delivering the census. He knows that it's a time-sensitive government document. Why wouldn't he double-check the addresses?
