You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We do get stuff done, but there's also contentious arguments over things like Amazon Poop Boxes.

This is quite possibly the best argument I've yet heard against Amazon using drones.

Yup. And I'm arguing that delivery folks shouldn't have to wait for you to answer the door on drop shipments and getting pushback. Really??!! That's what no sig required IS ALL ABOUT. Pay more (or not, for some purchases, seller is eating that cost) for the guy to wait for you if yer actually home.

Yes, pita, I get it. Which is why I reroute valued shit to alternate sites offered by the damned companies.

The status is NOT quo.

We, too, appear to live in the same Nextdoor neighborhood.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I still get a little panicky when the fridge light goes out. Dude, the fridge light is a damn constant--if it's not working, what's next? Is the world ending?

Yes, I can survive without flush toilets and running water, but man, don't take my fridge light away. Power's out? Okay then, I just won't open the door till it's back on, and the world makes sense again.

I'll be okay.

In my neighborhood we have less of a problem with people stealing packages and more with the post office delivering them at all. It's one particular carrier--the ones before him were great.

Punishingly Intricate

NextDoor shows us that terrible people are the same all over! (Also, nice ones.)

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Report him. Back in the early 2000s a lot of my mail came late and partially opened (but never the letters that were obviously bills or junk mail). The last straw was when the metal "We Can Do It" sign I sent to meara got returned and my mail carrier bent it over the arched mailbox rather than leave it at the apartment office or my door. Cue me going on the warpath and filling out a formal written complaint in front of the postmaster.

The carrier later left a message on my answering machine begging me to drop the complaint, so I'm pretty sure I at least got her put on some sort of probation with the USPS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am already ready for today to be over.
