Have you guys been to the post office recently? Mail had jumped another 2 cents, making a piece of paper $0.39 to just get from point A to point B. Ridiculous. They say the raise is important to keep people employed and to keep up with the decrease of mail service since email had soared. Hmm, I think that the Postal Service would be used more often if these following guidelines are enforced:
1. Be open on CONVENIENT hours in convenient locations. I won't go to the PO if it's in the bad part of town, without parking and/or is only open on days not ending in "y".
2. Have more windows open. When there's more than 5 people in a line, it is okay to help the person behind the counter. Honestly.
3. DO NOT BREAK PACKAGES THAT HAVE BEEN MARKED "FRAGILE". Nuff said.
4. Establish a reason to use the post office other than mailing packages. I love receiving packages so make us use you rather than UPS or DHL.
Here's a snapshot of the stamps I recently purchased. Aren't they cute?

Lindsay and I were talking about our virtual class experiences and had posted an entry on her site. Well, here's the second genius of our class. I've taken the name and location to protect his/her identity. I hope you find the postings as painful as I did:
Well hello all!!!!
I hope you all are having as warm a winter as I am so far. Im not really sure what to write here so it's just going to be a bunch of random stuff (if that). Hmmmmm, well I guess this is a good spot to share some personal info. I am actually an escaped lab monkey who was made to be super-smart. Although I still enjoy bananas and flinging poo. "wink wink". Well that was entertaining. I hope you guys can figure out some cooler stuff to write than that, my brain doesnt work as well as it used to. Peace.
Another posting:
Well hello everyone, I've been doing this stuff all day so if I already posted whatever. I hope you all have a good semester and good luck with this online delight.
Like you ___, I have only the vaguest ideas of what Anthropology is about.
Don't you feel like you're more superior (or dumbed down) for just reading that posting?
Lastly, Brad and Angie are pregnant. Chris and Gwynnie are too. Why is everyone following the TomKat trend? Agh!

OK, first, that red paperclip thing is awesome. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Also, I don't go to the post office anymore. I used to think I loved and was addicted to the post office, but then I realized it's just packaging/mailing/organizing that I love. Now I do it from home and ship almost everything via DHL (a company I LOVE!).
I thought you were talking about people you know when you said Brad and Angie and Chris and Gwynnie. Ha!
I'm in love with those stamps. I wish mine were that cute. The only stamps I have have antique cars on them. Or I have my old standbys with the American Flag on them.
That paper clip thing is amazing. So cool. I have now started to follow it. Personally, I'd take the guy offering the suitcase full o' cheese, but that's just me.
Don't worry about online classes. There are stupid people, but they don't really take too much of the class away. And if they do, tell them off. I'm telling you, just one good humiliation, they stop making dumb comments. It worked for me in my first philo class.
