You can't go to the post office here without waiting at least 40 minutes. I tried to kill time by going to the "automated postage machine" because the line was about 1/4 long as the regular line, but it turns out that it moves about about 1/5 the speed, so I actually would've been done quicker if I'd stayed in the regular line (and then I would've been able to mail my international stuff, too).
I would seriously pay a MASSIVE tax increase if it meant they would keep the post office open 24/7 and give it a decent staff.
I'm changing all my eBay items to US shipping only because I cannot deal with going to the post office to mail stuff any more. (And the stupid post office won't let you mail international packages without actually going there and giving them to a human.) It's just too stressful, and then I keep putting it off and people freak out and send me the nastiest letters, like you wouldn't believe how rude people think they're allowed to be when they can't see your face.
Yeah, on Amazon I selected everything at once, because that's the only way to get free shipping, and because it was all "available now" and it said it would definitely arrive before Christmas! I checked their charts and timeframes and everything! I ordered on December 12, the deadline was December 17th! For once I was early!!
"Profit" ... yes ... "Profit" is awesome. I'm so glad you're watching it. Have you seen any of it before?
Shit? Like real shit? Huh?
I seriously went to pick up my Christmas ribbon which was on my bed surrounded by wrapping paper and bows and scissors and tape, only to find that it was COVERED IN BILE. Like, she (I know it was Angel!) had climbed over everything, not touching any of it, making a beeline for the ribbon, and managed to swallow and then regurgitate it all right there in the same place, and then go back to her perch on the windowsill and fall asleep like nothing ever happened. Except for the ribbon being covered in bile. UGH.
On the plus side, everyone's said good things about the cookies, and I'm so glad I got them mailed out. I just hope they arrive without breaking or the packages falling apart or whatever horrible thing. I'm already worrying that I didn't use enough tape to hold the boxes together or that I didn't slap enough "priority mail" labels on the side. *sigh* *not going to worry, nothing I can do about it now*
