After being threatened and coerced into filling out the US Census form, why is it that the US Postal Service still can't figure out who lives here?

1 Sick Day a Year

My Favorite Trauma Surgeon gave up regular trauma call about one year ago. Since then I haven't been involved in assisting on many traumas which in part explains why I haven't had any regular postings for the same time frame. Well, with two sons fast approaching college, my FTS has come back on board the trauma panel if only to fill in on occasion, generally once a month. Last month we had no surgicals. This month his call day was Monday the 13th. I was stoked and so looking forward to it. As luck would have it, without going into too much detail, I was totally incapacitated with painful symptoms and unable to cover call with him. What did I miss? Only three, yes three, exploratory laparotomies resulting in one liver resection, one kidney repair, and one bowel resection.
