I got an email last night that USPS was unable to deliver my Nespresso pods, and that the package would be available at a nearby post office. I swung by there this morning, and they’d already loaded it on a truck for redelivery. She explained it wasn’t that they couldn’t deliver it, the postal carrier just didn’t get to it yesterday and that’s how they scan it when it comes back to the hub. Classic.

Haha, have you ever interacted with a government employee? Zero scene, there is no point. The federal Goliath lumbers on.

I don’t think anyone trusts me enough to ask me to watch their pets. Or perhaps I give off the “don’t f’n ask me to watch your pets” vibe.
