I've been getting back into writing letters lately, and I finally needed to buy more stamps. I like to select fun ones because they last so long. And I get irrationally angry that USPS charges shipping fees for buying online. That's quite a racket since they're the ones shipping everything. Anyway, I digress.
I went to the post office where there were three employees and one customer. I asked about stamps, and he brought out several varieties, none of which I loved. So he brought out more. And still more. Finally he brought out George Bush stamps -- a sure sign of passive-aggression.
That's when I realized I'd better hurry up and decide before he went postal. I bought two packets to make him feel like he hadn't been wasting his time, even though he gets paid salary and not commission. Probably these will last me until I die. Good thing they're forever stamps.
