So the USPS sucks. So our package to Heather got returned today with this notice on it. Also, a picture of a plane in a red circle with a line through it with the words "Surface Transportation Only" on it. My problem with the whole situation is that they have this whole self-service area in the post office where you can weigh your own package and buy stamps from machines so you can ship your own package without waiting in line or going up to the counter. Nowhere is there any regulation about weight or size posted. There was a forty-five minute line when we went last night so we just weighed and shipped the package ourselves. My second problem is that their rule is just that you "present" the package to "a retail clerk" and this is all for a security measure. Well, the last time I checked the retail clerks weren't any kind of special security force, and all they do is take the package, weigh it, and throw it in the same bin it would go in when I put it in the mail drop anyway. It's all just so stupid. It doesn't make the package any more secure. It's just another thing to make my brain hurt.

By the way, Heather better be grateful because we went out of our way to mail her new power adapter to her tonight! We sent it via Priority Mail per her instructions because FedEx was going to cost over $10 (even the slowest FedEx express way and I don't trust Ground after we've had a lot of problems with them at work.) Anyway, we had to scrounge together all our cash because we weren't expecting to need cash. So be nice, Heather Rose!

Has anyone ever seen the Jimmy Kimmel Show? It's really funny because they have a different announcer every night and it's someone that also has another job on the show (a wardrobe guy, etc.) Anyway, the guy who is the announcer this week went to high school 3 times. Not because he was stupid, but for fun. The last time he was 27 or 28 when he "graduated". He also assumed a fake name to do it. Then Jimmy Kimmel is making fun of him because he's also a little OCD and he prefers to turn in a clockwise direction rather than counter-clockwise. He also prefers that other people do the same. So Jimmy stood up and started turning counter-clockwise to bother him.

It reminds me of how Keyrock always has to rearrange things on the dinner table so they line up.

Jimmy Kimmel just was talking about Cher and said, "Didn't she just run into a tree on a ski slope the other year or something?" Oops, no, that was her ex-husband and he died! That's too bad.

Oh, yeah, these people still suck.
