Way too funny...

I am reading his bio right now, very interesting, but I don't know if modern science could even really weed out the crazy from that guys DNA, it seems like it was pretty well ingrained! :shock: :roll: :wink:

By the way, Steph, what EXACTLY does "LMAO" mean? Being one of the "Older, over 40 crowd", leaves me guessing sometimes on the abbreviations!
Now, if you want translations of Postal Acronyms and Abbreviations, I'm your Man! I AM the Postal God, in case you didn't know that(Drives my soon-to-be former boss crazy! :twisted: )

To the Postal God:

LMAO = Laughing My A$$ Off.

Postal Acronyms, I am sure those could be interesting. However, what I want to know is why I got an email today for another postal rate hike effective May 14th. Geez Louise! ;)

hee hee... Just doing what I do best, stirring the pot!

Jeez Steph, You're getting more info then I do. I've had people coming in for months telling me all about the rate hike, when all I was getting from the PO was nothing! The only thing I knew for sure was that everytime gas prices went up we heard a collective scream from our 200,000 delivery trucks. Of coures, NOW I get to go for training on the new rates next week. We've never done that before, but, it seems that this is the most complex rate change ever. And, by all means, if you get confused, just ask the old Postal God and I'll translate! By the way, Keep Stirring the Pot! I like to see what sludge comes off the bottom!

I know the postal rate pain. I just had to purchase $780 in stamps. What really hurts is that I know at least 100 of the 2000 items sent will come back to me meaning that $40 of it is down the drain. :(

I just get periodical e-mails from Pitney Bowes, that's all. :D
The new shaped-based pricing sounds like it should be interesting. Also sounds like it might be a pain to re-program our postage machine, but anything that keeps me from spending all day on WIX is a good thing.

You and me both! :) Although there have been plenty of times once the sludge is uncovered I scold myself for not leaving well enough alone! :roll: :D

It'll be fun if you like having to measure every envelope that someone has decided to over stuff! :evil: Of course, we are GOOD at collecting Postage Due from the receipient! :twisted: :roll: :lol:

Oh yeah, and what kind of a lawyer do you work for?! I might need one when this is all done! :shock:

Also, I refuse to comment on International Mail. I'm just not going there! :ouch:

What'd I just miss? :?:

I work for an attorney that does Personal Injury law as well as medical/legal malpractice. Fun stuff! He's a fantastic attorney, and SUCH a nice person. I am lucky to have such a good job.

steph, you look like yvonne decarlo, the 40's 50's movie actress, who is most noted as morticia addams from the addams family tv series!! coincidently she dated howard hughes, but you look better than she does with his moustache. by the way i paid you a compliment, yvonne decarlo was a beautiful movie star!!!!

Wow, um have you seen her? :shock: Are you kidding?! :lol:

She's gorgeous. Thank you though, that's very nice of you to say. I'd be thrilled to be 10% as pretty as she is.

I am glad I can do Mr. Hughes' moustache justice. :)

Enough embarrassment for today though . . . :oops:
