Ooh, I'm so angry right now! On Friday (? Thursday? whatever), I took a box to to the post office with some pants I wanted to return. I used the postage machine to buy the right amount of postage. I stuck the label on the box. I just got the box back with no label on it and an ote that it was "returned for postage." I bought postage! I can't believe I have to pay another six bucks to try to return these fucking pants. This is why I don't like to buy clothes through the mail.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Okay. That's frustrating. I don't mind so much buying clothes online from places that have a brick-and-mortar store where things are much easier to return.
Which is what happened this week. I bought a pair of Gap Classic jeans that came with the world's longest 28 inch rise or something ridiculous like that. I swear, the waistband could touch the underwire from my bra. So I took them back to the Gap store and returned them yesterday morning. It was all good.

My coworker reminded me that I have a receipt from the PO, so we'll see. The last time I returned something at the store that I had bought online (Banana Republic), it was a whole song and dance and took forever, so I figured I wouldn't bother this time.

Well, yeah. It is a song and dance at Gap and Gap-affliated stores. But I figure, whatever. it's easier than getting to the PO. But I am lazy.

I have to stop by the post office to drop off my newest stepsister's baby shower gift (books, what else?) so my mom can take it to the shower on Saturday.

Huh. Shia LaBoeuf is in Chicago, and we know this because he was arrested for being drunk and refusing to leave the Walgreens on Chicago and Michigan this weekend.
