It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Priority Mailers!

Yes, this is a very appropriate photo of the LONG lines at the post office. See the gal with the baby, READING A BOOK IN LINE?

And who was there yesterday to mail a package? Yep, yours truly.

I knew I was in trouble when I saw the entire parking lot was full, upper level and lower level.

Inside, there was a long line to get to the counter, a long line to get to one do-it-yourself postage station, and another long line to get to the other do-it-yourself postage station.

There were two funny moments during my long wait.

Funny moment 1: An elderly women came in and petitioned the line of customers asking 'can anyone help me get a zip code'? Instantly people whipped out their iphones and blackberries in a flurry of internet activity that was a sight to behold. They googled. They advised each other on how to get the information the fastest. They were SO proud of their smart phones, and one woman quickly produced the zip code in question.

Funny moment 2: People were getting pretty sick of standing in line, though everyone was trying to be patient. You could feel the tension. Just then, a father who was carrying his small daughter was leaving the building. The little girl (maybe 4 years old) started singing 'Fa la la la la, la la la la!' That made everyone smile, and the tension lifted.

TTFN and have a nice Sunday! Enjoy these last few days till Christmas, and the full moon too!
