If you’re part of the problem, you may not be part of the solution.
Over the last few weeks, I’ve waited in line at the Keaau post office three times for approximately three hours. The last time I baked in the sun on a particularly hot day. One of the workers retired and they haven’t hired anyone to replace her, so most of the time only one window is open for the 30 or so people in line.
Yesterday I returned again, this time with an umbrella, but our post office still hadn't implemented a schedule that would allow two windows or even three to open when more than 10 or 15 people are waiting, or hired another worker to replace the one who left - - they came up with an entirely unexpected solution to the daily, self inflicted disorganization. A small tarp the length of the building has been erected! They thought our biggest concern was standing in the rain or blazing sun? I can bring my own umbrella and solve that problem on my own. What I need is for government workers to look outside their workplace door and ask themselves, since we won’t deliver mail and packages to our customers, should we add insult to injury, and make mail recipients drive here to pick it up, but first stand in line for an hour?
If their solution means we wait just as long - - is it really a solution? If you heard the temperature in hell was going to three degrees cooler would you say, well that sounds like an improvement?
