I have a job interview on friday and have to show up in a suit. I hate suits and don't have to wear then in my current job, so I never got a new one after the one I bought 10 years ago for my exam.
I just got the date today and testfittet the ugly thing. Man, it almost feels like the 80s with the wide legs. and stuff. I hate it, but there is no way I can show up in a suit jacket with bluejeans, shirt and a tie.
::)Damn business traditions. I'm working in the wrong industry.

@Akuma:
I know everyone wants stuff asap when they buy it, but people that don't understand that post offices are only open limited hours a day, which also line up with most job schedules are just a pain in the ass. I'm sorry you bought something Monday and I didn't have a chance to ship it out until Saturday, let me tell my boss I need time away from work to ship a shirt, I'm sure he will understand. (Sarcasm)
It blows my mind seeing people standing in huge lines at the post office. I can usually print a label online, package a shipment and drop it off (yes, even after normal business hours) in less time than most people wait in line to talk to a USPS rep.

The only time I'm required to stand in line and talk to a human is when I ship internationally, but once you learn the customs forms, that's simple.

The stupidity of humans never ceases to amaze me. The fact that astrophysicists, mathematicians, etc. are of the same species as the Jim-Bob's whose family trees don't fork boggles my mind.
-
I feel you @BloodnThunder our kinds' stupidity knows no bounds!
Conversely, I also enjoy shaking my head at brilliantly gifted minds (astrophysicists and doctors esp) falling victim to mundane 'animal' like tendancies – group think, ideological blindness, egotism, sexual misconduct, etc....
Even the brightest most well trained, peer reviewed 'experts' are capable of extreme follies and major misteps.
Science and logic is sound, it's Man's application where shit gets hairy! Lol

Dammit, my 634s degraded faster than anticipated. I need to send them in for repairs now, rather than waiting until October or so, as I'd planned.

Probably still a first world problem, but here goes:
I listed a rowing machine on eBay. It's big, it's heavy, it would be a huge hassle to pack and ship, so I listed it for local pickup only. Five minutes after the auction closed, I get an email from the winning bidder-"Can you ship it to me in Kentucky?"
-
Dumb. How is that question not asked before even placing a bid?
-
Honestly, that's the part that pisses me off about the whole episode. He was the first bidder, and he actively continued bidding throughout the auction. If he had asked at any point during that five days, we'd both be happier right now. Well, he's probably happy- I cancelled the transaction and he got his money back. As far as he's concerned, it's no big deal.

eBay could easily prevent this from happening. When posting an item, if they allowed you to select where shipping was limited to they could build in a setting that prevented, or at least warned, anyone with a location not selected by the poster. This idiot probably would have bid anyway but it would at least prevent a few of these instances.
