I hope the line for the automated system isn't too long.
I was going to use the automated system, but they have a big sign on the drop box that you put packages in (after getting the postage) that says that only packages weighing less than 16 oz. could be put in that drop box; anything heavier has to go to the counter clerk. And since I was mailing 3 large books (1 hardcover), it was a safe assumption that it was more than 16 oz. So I was doomed to the counter.

Heh. I can attest to that.
The automated machine always mocked me at my old post office -- there would be a huge line of people mailing internationally, picking up packages (usually me), or buying money orders.

Yeah, but you can usually just drop it on the counter, rather than waiting in line. At least, in my post office, which doesn't normally have genteel old ladies yelling at people.
Thank dog I have a post office in the building so I can scope out when the lines are bad. The p.o. in my neighborhood is a freaking nightmare.

Oh good grief. Note to self: don't wait until the last minute to mail stuff this year.
Back from the doctor. My pee is good. No pneumonia. No infection. Just a flu. "A real flu, like swine or the seasonal." I just have to tough it out through the rest of this week, and continue my ibuprofen gobbling ways.
So. That cost $15 and three hours of my day. And I had to sit in a waiting room for an hour with a mask on my face.
On the plus side: the doctor was nice.
well, still good to know there's not a UTI...my last one would not GET OUT, and the anti-b that works the best now gives me hives...that was like the worst August ever.
Hmm. I wonder how full-featured the mailroom at work is. It would be too much to hope they'd let me give them money for postage, I guess. But at least I can drop a package off there.
We have a full post office at work, which is nice. I can mail packages from there even when I'm on vacation :)
