Here’s a great snarky comment from Jimmy Kimmel. Jokes like this are funny because we’ve all experienced he misery of waiting in a line at the Post Office or DMV while bureaucrats chat with each other and otherwise goof off.
The U.S. Postal Service announced plans to close an additional 2,000 branches after losing $8.5 billion. Maybe in retrospect, making people wait in line while you slowly finish your bag of fiery hot Cheetos isn’t such a good idea.
Of course, when taxpayers bail out the Postal Service, the joke will be on us, but let’s not think about that right now. Instead, let’s dream that the government-imposed monopoly on mail delivery will end and the private sector takes over. Heck, even the Washington Post has acknowledged this is the right direction.

Each show is different and it really depends on whos booking it and for the bigger
shows with celebrities and bands they need a lot of lead-time.
Think of this as a way to document your improvements over time, and eventually it will be a very effective PR
tool. These surgeries are a matter of personal preference,
peer pressure from fellow entertainers and the need to maintain an
unrealistic image that is associated with them.

Perhaps this is why I do everything online. I get bill notifications via email and I pay then online. That way, I know I the payment arrived on time.
Speaking of Post Office inefficiency, I received my mail today (junk mail as usual), but all of the real mail, 6 pieces in all, were for someone else. Meaning none of the real mail was meant for me, but it ended up in my mail box, including 1 piece that was for a completely different street name.
And the USPS wonders why it’s going broke.
ha ha. We will dream on.
And I don’t know why thinking about going to the post office makes me feel miserable! It just seems the service could be smoother and more customer friendly.
