So I'm at the post office now ready to ship a package. There are 12 people in line with 2 lines open. After one employee finishes up a customer she asks her supervisor if she can take her break. Of course she did. Leaving 12 in line. Gotta love the Post Office! With service like this who needs government support? Oh yeah...the USPS.

I just print it at home and drop it in the package bin on my way past the post office at night. If it is an oddball shape or weight I use thr scale at work to get accurate rates. Or use the self serve kiosk at the post office.
Screw those slow lines of dozens of people and two unmotivated employees.

with the fact that I can't figure out how to upload pictures on here you think I can do that?? Well out of my range! Normally I have my secretary Horseshoe ship for me but I didn't have this ready last time I saw him.

I've been blessed that where I live, and the last place I lived, both had Post Offices with really good employees. If you're just there to pick up a package, they'll pull you out of line to help you and then send you on your way. If you just want stamps, they will show you how to buy them from the automated kiosks.

Piss on that! Set up an account with USPS and use Click n Ship, and let them pick it up....

The fact that you are a partner and do taxes is now significantly more frightening. There has to be an underling you can send on mail runs.

I'm guessing your secretary looks rather ghastly in a skirt and heels... no need to post pics...

paypal.com/shipnow Just buy a little digital scale and most packages can ship first class for 2-3 bucks. I feel bad because most people use flat rates here and they're damn expensive.

You are a funny man! Never again will I help you out by sending out your packages or uploading photos. You just burnt that bridge by calling me your secretary. You better ask your wife to start doing your "secretary" work.

Here is a true story. Someone I know who works for a not-for-profit was sending a text to a community/business leader to thank them for coming to their facility for a tour. She typed "thanks somuch". When it sent it auto corrected to "thanks douche". I couldn't stop laughing when she told me that.

Dustin luckily my tax knowledge is second to none! Now my technology skills on the other hand....not so much. I'm the oldest 34 year old you'll ever meet.

Truth! You are the oldest 34 year old. I do however think 04EDGE40 has you beat. He is still rocking a Zack Morris Cell Phone!

Be warned, most of those are not safe for work. Or someplace where you have to keep quiet. Or where laughing so hard you can't breathe and fall out of your chair would be awkward.
:D
Edit: I also just want to say that only iDevices have autocorrect that is this bad. You should not have nearly as hilarious text messages if you use Android devices.

Just to clarify, she looks at you like you are crazy, at least 98% of the time. So it may just be a coincidence! Bazinga!

I'll put in another vote usps.com if you can type you can figure out. Plus with flat rate boxes it is slightly cheaper than going to the post office

Well I've always thought my biceps were more reminiscent of AC Slater than Zack Morris, maybe my dancing style is too... my mom says it's totally normal for boys to wear leotards!

Actually you fill out a leotard like Screech.
You really are a mash-up of the Saved by the Bell cast:
Zach Morris phone
AC Slater leotard/ballet
Screech size muscles
I know some of you bums are great with photoshop. Who can create the mash-up of 04EDGE40 as a combo of these 3 people?

Well the only picture of my face is half of a fuzzy head that Horseshoe took, so how could someone possibly complete this image?
Answer: add the face of Brad Pitt. I've been told we're spitting images of eachother.

Ouch. I love the liquor and beer stores here. Happy, helpful, well priced, and the big craft beer place has plenty of eye candy.
Hmm. Maybe the post office needs to hire only college girls and put them in hooter like outfits. At least then you have something to look at while stuck in lines forever.
