USPS have really worked their balls off to become the worst postal service I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, if you're familiar with the ineptitude of the Royal Mail then you will understand what a staggering achievement this is.

1. Shirt 1 which Chris proxied for me has not left their sort facility in Dallas since December 30th.

2. Shirt 2 has apparently been in their Jamaice New York depot since January 9th.

3. Shirt 3 was shipped via a tracked service on January 11th, and so far has not had a single tracking scan.

What is the fucking point of these incompetent assholes? I called their "customer services" yesterday to chat with a woman who really couldn't give 2 fucks what my issues were.

Can't say they're always good, but I've always had really really great experiences with USPS. Just ask rafa or snowy how fast they've gotten packages…

[Snowy]

Fast, and always hoping to get more from Mr Ben :).

I'll agree with Mega, and for good measure, add in the shirts I mailed Seul in August that have yet to arrive.  They were last seen in Chicago…

[Seul]

Chicago's one hell of a town…

[mclaincausey]

The shirts seem to think so…

I hate hot weather, and southern California seems to have forgotten that it's winter. Fuck this.

^ I will see your complaint about unseasonably warm weather and raise you an unprecedented heatwave:

Temperatures for Melbourne over the past few days (Note, this is in celsius, not farenheit):

Tuesday: 42.8
Wednesday: 41.7
Thursday: 43
Friday (forecast): 44

What has added to the difficulty of the heat has been nighttime temperatures which have stayed around 30 or so.  Your body just doesn't have a chance to recuperate and you wake up feeling exhausted.  In the city the heat is killing people (literally): http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/melbourne-city-centre-a-death-trap-as-heatisland-effect-takes-its-toll-20140116-30xt8.html

Oh thats pretty scary stuff…nature strikes back for the sufferings done by us human beings...sorry to read Q. We also have kinda spring over here...weather is crazy

[Finn666]

weather is crazy (normally we should have snow wherever you go david) and today, i'm working my first saturday shift

[Seul]

Guests invited for 5.30. It is now 5.30. Just got a message from one couple… "Yeah suz we're gonna be a bit late we have to feed the kids first"...

Rude... 

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, it's shit having adults as friends eh 

[Seul]

I hate kids… 

[Megatron1505]

I can see why….they don't drink 

[Seul]

They're loud, drop food, spill drinks (only water fortunately),…

If it weren't for the fact that I still like my ex, I'd 've exit'ed 'm all via the balcony...

Move.

[grandmasterben]

Not sure if that'd be the best idea considering I attend ucla

[mclaincausey]

How's that going? Didn't you start recently?

[seanocono]

My point is that you have the power to do something about it. You're clearly a bright guy. You could transfer to Berkeley if you hate hot weather.

I hate rain, which is why I no longer live in Seattle.

[grandmasterben]

It's going great! Yep, started just this year. And I don't hate hot weather enough to transfer, it's more that I look forward to colder weather and it seems strange that we haven't really had any. I do know I live in California, but come on… Gimme something
