Mindless Ramblings.... The USPS

One thing about getting up early here in Phoenix is that you are never prepared for the 110 plus heat. It's overwhelming but damn when you roll out of bed after a couple of hours it's worse.

I tell you my life has been pretty boring the last couple days. I did manage to catch an interview with Richard Branson the founder of Virgin. The guy never graduated high school and is worth 7.8 BILLION. In interest alone he makes $705,000 per hour! I think I could get used to that kind of life.

So today I had to run by the post office and drop off some mail...For the life of me every time I go to a post office the same questions always enter my head.

1. Why is it always packed every time I go no matter what time I go?
2. Are those jobs really that stressful?
3. Why is it that after a person waits in the line when they get to the window and they still have no idea that they haven't filled out the proper forms or address labels?
4. Why is it a major life decision to send a package Priority Mail or regular mail?
5. Is it really hard to work the stamp machine in the lobby?

This might be some of the reasons why these guys go "postal".

These are also the same reasons why I do not mail anything anymore. Another reason besides porn why the Internet is awesome. You can email everything and pay bills etc.. Before today I can't even remember the last time I bought a stamp. Today was just stuff that had to be mailed.

Then it was off to the station for an afternoon meeting. Ended up hanging around to long but I figured I would just wear out my welcome.
