As the weekend draws near..
And I have officially decided that I HATE the post office.
So I went to the post office to mail off a little parcel that someone ordered off my and my sister’s Vintage Website (p.s. you should go check it out TheVintageBible.etsy.com )
Anyways so I’m trying to get all this done on my lunch break, with hopefully a little time to spare so I can grab some food. I walk into the Post Office to find 7 people in line in front of me. While waiting in line, I look around for the appropriate sized box to ship it in, only to find there are no more in stock up front. The only one that I see is the floor model.
(all this stress is going to turn me into an old lady)
After about 20 minutes of waiting for the old post man to finally call me up, I inform him that I need the 20x14x10 size box and that there were no more up front. He says, "Let me go check the back." As he made his way to the back I think I noticed that a small slug outran him and beat him to the stock room. After a slow search he produces a 20x20x20 box which is obviously much too big and smartly replies, "Well this too big."
Yes sir, it is.
Frustrated now, and almost late for work, I ask if I can just use the display box which is lying in the corner. After a little deliberation from the postman, I grab the assembled display box from the corner of the post office. He whips out his handy dandy pocket knife to cut the tape from the top of the box so that I can put my suitcase inside. After it’s in, he informs me that I will have to BUY some packing tape to close the now open box which I am shipping.
Just add it to my tab. Its really not even worth the fuss, plus there is now a whole lobby-full of people waiting of ME to be finished
So as you can now see, I have more than enough reason to hate the Post Office.
In other news...
