More Delayed Parcels Wednesday May 9, 5:23pm
Get this - Cassia, one of the new scribes at the Academy, has also been having problems with delayed parcels. The Perplex City Post Office guarantees that all post anywhere in the city will arrive within five hours of being sent. So this is weird. Cassia says she doesn't have time to pursue it, but I want to find out what's going on. Is it just this part of the city? Is it just one kind of parcel? Am I just procrastinating?
I tried calling up the Post Office but they - probably truthfully - said that everything is statistically normal. So the problem's obviously a subtle one and will need some teasing out. If we can run a series of experiments, we should be able to isolate which part of the system isn't working properly. Of course, doing that will involve getting inside the Post Office. So... since you guys are so good at persuading people, can you find a contact in the Post Office who might be happy to help us out?
