Because books.

Instead of telling me helpfully that the locksmith kiosk in the lobby had a fax machine. I mean, what was the point of that information if faxed signatures weren't acceptable????

I have no answer for you there. But it's Way of DMV, almost everywhere.

ACK people!

I just went to the restroom and while I was in there, a woman came in, talking on the phone, and peed & blew her nose while still on the phone, and washed her hands and left. I think I'm glad I didn't see her, but she couldn't miss that I was there!

Who does that in the workplace??!!

I hear that the rules for registering cars have changed substantially in the past year, so that you have to provide so much more. My coworker's kid was trying to buy a 15yo car that had had multiple owners, and had to jump through hoops.

Well, you see, the original idea comes from the Auditors, but it was Crowley who really saw the potential. I believe that he received a commendation for his work, there. They ended up adopting several of the principles Below.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's a bad idea to quote X-Files at someone who just quoted Forrest Gump on Facebook. So, I am not going to do it. But, oh, the impulse is there.

Adorable painting panda.

Quite adorable. I wonder how the panda perceives the whole exercise, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sorry Allyson! I didn't mean to proclaim my love and then leave. I... uh... just had to get to work in time for a meeting. Oops.

I love you for your quick mind that can whiffle through its mental rolodex and pull up the card that says the USPS is written into the Constitution.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm not a fan of coffee, period. I don't even like coffee flavored stuff. So 7-11 coffee or civit-cat-poop coffee, it's all the same to me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The current state of the post office is a classic example of how you can't have your cake and eat it too in the obsession to privatize and deregulate essential services. If UPS had to satisfy all of Congress's constituencies, it wouldn't make a profit either.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

actually if the post office had not been milked with weird prepay requirements it would have had its first loss this year.
