Change of Address

When I moved last fall, I filled out all the various change of address forms with the USPS and with the folks I regularly pay money to. You know, like my car insurance people. I’m still getting mail from them bearing my old address. Late mail, of course, because it appears to have taken the scenic overland route to my house. Now, first class mail should be forwarded for one year, so this isn’t necessarily a big deal. It should be relabeled by the post office before it is delivered. So why, oh why, is my mail making multiple stops on its way home, and why, oh why, is someone ever so helpfully rewriting my name–which was originally spelled correctly, I might add!–multiple times and with multiple misspellings? Shouldn’t the little yellow label, which has my current, correct information on it, have been applied before anyone ever attempted to deliver the envelope?
