The Budweiser commercial where the dog just says 'sausages' over and over again makes me laugh every farging time.

[Munson]

Sadly, me too.


I miss the Coors Light press conference commercials.
I still say do one with Andy Reid.
Or with the Mike Gundy flip out.

About two weeks ago I ordered some business cards to use at networking events with my name, contact info, and specialty information on it.  Thinking that as I meet people and talk about possible openings, I can hand them a card with all my stuff on it.  I've used it earlier in my job search, but my career stuff was far too specialized.  Luckily, Vista.com had a special running and I only needed to pay for postage which was like $6 for 250 cards in three colors.

Today, I get the package from USPS.  It's a horribly mangled box, as pictured below.  I haven't touched the box so I can take it to the post office tomorrow and bitch up a storm, but in the picture I blurred my contact info.  The box looked exactly like this, and is absolutely empty inside, except for an advertisement put in there by Vista.



It's wrapped in a clear plastic bag, with the following text on it (verbatim):

WE CARE

Dear Postal Customer:

We sincerely regret the damage to your mail during handling by the Postal Service. We hope this incident did not inconvenience you. We realize that your mail is important to you and that you have every right to expect it to be delivered in good condition.

Although every effort is made to prevent damage to the mail, occasionally this will occur because of the great volume handled and the rapid processing methods which must be employed to assure the most expeditious distribution possible.

We hope you understand. We assure you that we are constantly striving to improve our processing methods in order that even a rare occurance may be eliminated.

Please accept our apologies.

Sincerely,
Your Postmaster

INCONVENIENCE ME??  By delivering a mangled box completely empty of the contents I paid for?  How could something like that EVER inconvenience me??

I'm going to bitch directly to the local postmaster tomorrow, knowing he will do exactly squat.  Then, I need to try to convince Vista to send me a replacement set, and wait another 2 to 3 weeks.

Bunch of government paid skill-rejected bastiches, the lot of them.

[rjs246]

Directly to the postmaster?! Sorry, LOCAL POSTMASTER?!?!?! Dear god man. Just take it easy and don't do anything rash.

Hahaha

You're no better unemployed soft man.

that's awesome

You're no better unemployed soft man.

I got a new job two months ago, sweetums.

[Diomedes]

I was talking to Postal Demon, obviously.  I suppose the "soft" part might have confused you though.  Lardass.

[Rome]

He called me lardass.  You know, because I'm fat or something!  Awesome!!

[rjs246]

Whiskey tonight instead of gin.

[Diomedes]

Neither..the neckspine is angry tonight, therefore so am I.

I'm gonna drink some rum (trying to drink the liquor cabinet dry so I don't have to move its contents) and watch the Wire now.
