Amazing, everyone at Anandtech all had something important arriving today! What are the odds?

Just kidding. Anyways, when was the last time there was no mail 3 days in a row? Just a month ago. Snowstorm through Chicago on a friday, no mail then, nor on Saturday either.

Wish everyone got today off, though. The UPS Worldship software wouldn't take the new 2007 rates download and had to spend ~4 hours working with first the tape backup software company to figure out why I can't restore files from the tape - then with UPS support figuring out why the update wouldn't take... I desparately just want to go back home & go to sleep for the rest of the day, hopefully not waking up until tomorrow.

Yeah, what was Bush thinking making the day of mourning the same day as the state funeral?

I didn't realize that's what today was...I went to the post office to buy stamps today and they were closed.... I figured they were all still drunk from New Year's....had no idea they were drinking to honor Ford instead.

I decided to walk 2 miles to the post office today, I tried to call them first but the number was disconnected. I get there and was pissed that they were closed today. They made no mention of it on their website frontpage like they should. No I don't care about the walk but I have sh*t that needs to be shipped and they are close by.

Why the f*ck didn't they make a note of it on their websites frontpage, it would have saved me a trip ?

You can't...sign the slip they leave in your door and authorize them to leave the package? Why in the world would you have to take off work to receive a package?

and the stock market is closed for 4 days, the 2nd longest in history behind 9/11.

I think it's BS, we honor a guy by having zero productivity from the government and bringing the stock market to a halt for a day.

LAME

Yes, for at least the last 3 late presidents.

Iraqi mailmen haven't had a day off in honor of a late president for 25 years.
