Eric and I went yesterday to the post office to drop off our taxes. I have not been to the post office in a while. I walked into the post office, and stood in line, I couldn't help but notice that all post offices are the same. There are always 5 stations, but only 1 person working, and 2 if you are lucky. As I was waiting, I couldn't help but think, "And these people will run our health care." After standing in line forever, we finally got helped.
We happened to get the lady whose uniform is skin tight (I'm sure they wouldn't be flattering on anyone), and with a ponytail down her whole back , and I couldnt help but wonder when the last time she actually got a "trim". We got the normal questions, asking what type of postage, things like that. But I had no idea, all the extra add on questions they ask. I felt like they were trying to sell me an Old Navy Credit Card...she asked if we needed extra stamps, insurance, and if we needed a receipt to show that we sent in our taxes, and to guarantee it will be sent. Eric, said that he would. The worker than informed him it would be an extra $2.80 (PER ENVELOPE)! Eric turned to me, saying, "Shouldn't it be guaranteed anyway?" I then said, "No we should be okay" (IN a morris pursed lips way).
As we left the post office we did notice that she charged us anyway for the confirmation receipt. I told Eric, "It was so not worth going back and getting that cleared up." As I sit here tonight, I cant help but think, What is this world coming to?
Just us...

It's all because it involves TAXES. They are the curse of the land. They bring nothing but bad luck.
Have you ever noticed the distinct smell of the Post Office? .....I have.
I avoid the post office at all costs. They make everything to complicated: insurance, weighing of packages, what cute little stamp you want--too complex for me. But definitely a step up from the Pony Express.
I hate to wait in line at the PO!
There is however one guy clerk at the Cottownwood office that is very pleasant. He always comments on Cooper's cute picture on my debit card. I know he likes dogs, and that his daughter is big into scrap booking. Just stuff that has come up in our conversations. But he is definitely the exception. And Eric is right...the mail should be guaranteed!! GEEEEEEZZZZ.
