The post office's customer service line has holiday musak
And suddenly I'm remembering my own Year Without a Christmas, when I was on the other end of that customer service line, taking endless calls of how I was ruining people's Christmas, losing packages, etc. "What do you mean my package won't get to England before Christmas? It's only Dec. 20, I could fly to England and get there tonight." You do that, lady. For less than $5, though, it's going to take a little longer.
Sorry. Flashbacks. Sometimes I think I'm back in The Pit, with the endless phones ringing, and Joey's snapped and is screaming at the person next to him that he just can't take it anymore--
Sorry.
Which was mobbed. 30+ minutes, trying not to kill the woman with probably 50+ packages with my glare
Every body should die when I stare at them
This isn't happening as you can see
I don't know just who to blame for lacking this ability!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is a basilisk,
my own basilisk,
see my basilisk!
...
Hah!
I wasn't really all that cranky about it . More annoyed I hadn't gotten there 5 minutes earlier and gotten ahead of her. Though other people were a bit tetchy. When a new window opened up and the next-in-line didn't notice, you'd think her hair was aflame the way the whole line brought it to her attention!

It seems in bad taste, but I have to sort of admire the sheer cynicism.
There was music from A Charlie Brown Christmas playing at my post office. Which was mobbed.
The PO right across from work was mobbed, but the A(utomated) P(ostal) C(enter) lines were blessedly short. I love those machines. I also love my mother for requesting that her package get to her last week, which allowed me to avoid the huge freakin' lines and just drop off the package for my Secret Santee today.

I second this! APC rocks my world. Except they shut down for maintenance at midnight which makes the whole finishing up and shipping in the dead of the night thing tricky.
Hey Kathy, we have similiar problem here with the a/c. We've taken blackwrap (thick aluminum foil that is black in color) and covered like 3/4 of the vent, and had the opening pointing AWAY from the desk. Just not having the cold air blowing on ya helps a TON! Grab some foil from home, and go to town on it. Nothing worse than frostbite INSIDE. gets the keyboard all kinda messy. ick.
Timelies all!
Happy Anniversary Burrell and Mr. Burrell!
The Paul & Storm/Jonathan Coulton show was lots of fun, but ran a little later than expected. I'm, not surprisingly, a bit tired today...
This storm sucked.
Seriously! I'm glad you all have power back. No power in winter = the suck.
We had our office party this afternoon, and it was quite pleasant. Although there was almost a little scuffle when my boss tried to take my seat (my purse was on it, I was elsewhere), and no one else at the table wanted her to sit there! Anyway, I am psyched because I did not go back to the office after. In your FACE, um, me! Because I do have kind of a shit load of work to do by Thursday. Whatev.
