Christmas time! time for joy, cheer, family, friends, co-workers, people you just met, people you wanna avoid, gift giving, gift returning, suicide prevention, drunk driving, over-eating, the Yule Log on TV (is that still on?) and of course Postal stress.
This covers mostly everyone. I'm not gonna give you advice on any of these except one: Postal stress!
You won't have to wait online for what seems like hours.
You won't have to listen to the crazy old lady standing in line behind you complaining how she shouldn't have to wait this long. Oh by the way I apologize if you're reading this and you are that crazy old lady.
Just go to USPS.com... seriously. Right there on the first page it walks you through what you need to do. All you need is a non-maxed out credit card and some way to weigh a package, shaking it and thinking it feels like 2 pounds doesn't count. Oh yeah, you also need a printer. After you're done with all that, you can either get them to pick it up or if you're in a "I feel like annoying someone today" kinda mood, you can actually go to the post office and jump the line. YES you can jump the line because you did the hard work for the postal workers and they'll love you for it (the postal workers not the people waiting on line) I've gotten some of he best dirty looks for doing this. The hard part is holding in the evil laughter until I get outside.
Merry Christmas
