a "parcel" was returned to me today due to improper postage.  the "parcel"  was a large envelope with three sheets of paper and a cd jewel case inside it.  when i initially sent this "parcel"  i went to the world famous jamaica plain post office and used their after hours postage machine/package sending unit.  i was happy it was there so i didn't have to go to the post office during normal business hours.  it's more convenient to go after hours, and i hate all the people who work in that god forsaken office, so i'd prefer to not see them.  anyway, my happiness faded away today when i saw the returned envelope sitting outside my door with the returned for postage sticker on it.  also, the words large envelope in the postage sticker were circled and the word "parcel"  was written next to the postage.  when i saw the envelope i wanted to break shit.  i felt the rage, and i wanted to fight.

i went to the post office to figure out what the fucking problem was, and it turns out that as of may something, a large envelope ceases to be a large envelope it you put something hard that cannot bend in it.  i'm not sure where that logic comes from, but the u.s. asshole postal service charged me an additional 33 cents and i was on my way.  i hate the postal service.  i hate their weird regulations.  i hate many of (not all of) their employees, and i hate needing them.  

love, 

jim
