Long Island City post office to be named after Geraldine Ferraro?

This is the priority for our elected officials. Naming things after each other while turning their backs on their constituents.

I’ve noticed now that the passport applications are being accepted at the “all services” windows (all two of them). This is adding extra hassle as most applicants need to come back to the window a second time.

And why in god’s name can’t they fix or replace the stamp machine?

Why can’t the manager cover an extra window during the lunch hour?

The time lost standing on line translates into lost work hours. What used to be a flagship Post Office is a sad disgrace.

My frustration with this post office is that they are getting rid of the vending machine. The line is ALWAYS very long (two windows open usually) and they machine is either not working or unstocked, causing everyone to HAVE to stand in line.
When I asked about this, I was told they were actually getting rid of the machine, which to me is idiotic.

Did anyone see the Idiotorod go through this weekend? Lots of photos of it from LIC online. Looks like a blast.

If there is anything close to the way things operated in the Soviet Union years ago, it is the Long Island City Post Office. It stands as a working time machine, slowly returning to a simpler, stupider past. It is a testament to the insouciant, inoperable, bureaucratic malfeasance of The Post Office Administrator; a Kafkian displays of surreal logic and of the moldy smell that will eat us at varying rates of speed until we are dead and lowered in our coffins. The bacteria borne of the odor will then continue to eat us until we are uneatable. The Post Office will proceed to lose any sympathy cards sent to our surviving relatives along with any Last Will and Testaments documents. That is their legacy to us; the long lines–soon to be bread lines–the stamp machines always broken—soon to be the entire economy—the condescension of its employee’s who are the walking dead…the horror….the horror. Let us now praise Carolyn Maloney for her foresight and wisdom; for doing the right thing, for giving that thing a personal face. A woman’s face. Praise be Carolyn Maloney, champion of our post office, of models of success and paradigms of prosperity for all. Praise be.

The branch on 4310 10th street is a pleasure; there is nobody ever there.

If the post office served $15 cocktails, then maybe it would be successful in Long Island City.

It’s rarely evir the computir’s problim. The problim is usually with those putting the infirmation in.

Charie.
