Most of you probably already know this...but there is no mail service tomorrow, Feb. 20th. Bummer.
I'm waiting for some packages and this delays them by another day. I don't get out of work for MOST holidays so why is it that the USPS gets EVERY holiday off? Lame! Anyway, I just realized that there wasn't mail service and thought I would share.
So if you're expecting a package tomorrow, it will prolly be Tuesday :(

It seems like I always end up ordering when USPS has a holiday. They get random days off biweekly basically.

Well if you consider the amount of holidays there are, and add that with the fact that they get every one of them off. Well then your odds of ordering when when they are going to be off are pretty damn good.
I need a government job or a bank job so that I can use every holiday as an excuse to get out of work. I mean, President's day? What the fuck are we celebrating here. Every time we elect a new one we just.end up hating him by the end of the 4 to 8 years. This time 4 years ago, everyone was hanging from Obama's cock, now you can't turn on the TV without hearing how bad he sucks.
Long story short, suck it up and get to work postman...I need you!

I never really gave a shit about the mail - in fact, I usually dreaded it. because of bills and all. now I can't stand these fucking waits.
lazy fucking bastards.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I needs my opiates! !! Fuckin mailmen!
-
It's so pathetic. It's rather important for a large portion of our population, and so I couldn't see why they would take off so many holidays. Utter bullshit.
-
Well, with the state of the economy I guess I could understand why they were doing it. However, USPS has always had holidays off. Its bullshit. And now you have talk of them cancelling Saturday post. Fuck you! My taxes run this shit and I needs my mail. Now, more than ever :P

seriously. I want my god damn dope. my street dealers are dry this weekend - which I find equally absurd. and now I have to wait for the mail.
-
At least you have the option to go to street dealers. Where I live you have to go to the HOOD, which is super sketchy. Even then you are getting piss poor dope. So its not worth the risk, in my opinion.
I guess the one thing I have to be happy about is that Canada doesn't have a holiday tomorrow and I have a package on its way from there, so at least it will get closer to the border while Americas mailmen sit around being lazy because of a holiday they won't even celebrate. Unless of course you count drinking and beating their step-children. :)

Ontario has a stat holiday tomorrow. I think some other provinces might too. Canada Post should still run though.

At first I read Ontario has a state holiday. I was like 'Shit!!' Then I saw 'Canada Post should still run though.' Thank God for that!

If you think it unreasonable that USPS workers get a whole ten (!) holidays per year [ opm.gov/Operating_Status_Schedules/fedhol/2012.asp ] then ask your vendor(s) to ship to you exclusively through UPS or FedEx in the future. They'll both almost certainly be delivering tomorrow. Columbus Day (Oct. 8th) and Veterans Day (Nov. 12th) too, I'd imagine.
Don't be dissuaded by their we-don't-need-no-stinking-warrant-to-open-your-package-if-we-feel-like-it-because-we're-a-private-carrier bullshit attitude. They just *say* that to sound tough. ;)
Show USPS ya got some brass: FedEx or UPS only from now on!
-
Haha!
@crunchyfrog I'm just happy they are sending me drugs. Ill be okay waiting. Its just my first few transactions and I'm eagerly anticipating their arrival. I still think 10 holidays is too much. I work almost every holiday. Every year I have to choose Xmas or Thanksgiving. They can eat a dick. If they get Saturdays off as well I'm gonna be 'Occupying the Post Office!'
@moon unit 20 bucks says the postman that picked that package up stayed on that route for ever in hopes of scoring another sweet pack of ganja. Dude, if I had lost that much smoke in the post I would have prolly cried my eyes out.
And as a sidenote, I'm watching the new Star Trek...and I have to say it would be pretty sweet it we could beam packages to each other. Mmmm...sci-fi silk road. Would be awesome!

I used to ship weed using fedex all the time. Mostly because I could go get the envelope any time of day and mark it to be payed by the receiver and drop it in the box. One time I got a little too high and put 2 ounces of the stinkinest Grape Ape in the little envelope you get out of the street pods. That fucker was bulging all over the place and my prints were all the fuck over it. Well it never made it but I never got in trouble and my prints were in the database for that state in many different places. Some one at fedex got some killer weed.
I actually have a question about the prints: say you mail a nice package full of dope - or whatever, really - with your prints on it, and it gets confiscated. they would obviously dust it for prints; but would my prints even matter if I have never been booked before? I've never been arrested for anything so I know my prints wouldn't be in that specific database; but would that matter? they would have my prints but would they be able to I.D me through that if I have never been booked or anything before?
-
Oh yea. Criminal record or not, they can get your prints. One time a friend of mine, whose parents were split, but lived in the same town; he was locked out, so we walked to his dads house and climbed in a window. His dad was out of town at the time, we ended up just crashing there that night. The next day we locked up and left to go back to his moms. Forgot all about going to his dads that night. Didn't seem like a big deal.
A week later his dad gets back in town and thinks someone broke into his house, so he calls LE. They come to his house and actually get my fingerprints off of a microwave dinner I ate. I had no criminal record whatsoever, and they showed up at my house to question me.
So, to answer your question....I don't think that they need you to have a record to get your prints. I think he never heard anything about it either because:
1) the postman took his package
Or
2) fingerprints on the package wasn't enough evidence to build a case.
I'm not sure, but most likely the package was ganked by the mail carrier. Shit, if I was in his shoes and I smelled funky chronic smell coming from a package that obvious contained weed. I'd jack that shit too. What's the sender gonna do, call the police, call fedex? Tell then his shipment of weed went missing? Haha not likely.

I think I understand. You feel it's the postal workers' fault that your employer offers lousy benefits.
...They can eat a dick....
Like workers everywhere, I'm sure they already do. Daily, in all likelihood.
...If they get Saturdays off as well I'm gonna be 'Occupying the Post Office!'
You might want to consider doing that literally -- as a USPS employee, I mean. Forty-hour week, ten paid holidays, and all the contraband you can snag: a comparatively sweet deal, eh?

Haha. Touche crunchyfrog. Touche!
