The Greatest Trip I Have Ever Taken to the Post Office
If I hadn't checked on those rebate forms yesterday in the morning, I never would have noticed that they were due to be postmarked yesterday. And if they weren't, I'd miss out on $100. If I hadn't forgotten to xerox the UPC code from my hard drive twice yesterday in the English buliding, I wouldn't have had to sit at my coffee table and stuff the envelopes. If I had filled out the rebate forms in my room instead, Dan wouldn't have noticed the "APPLY FOR YOUR REBATE ONLINE AT WWW.CIRCIUTCITYREBATES.COM" on the reciept, thus saving my ass from having to find another Xerox machine. The online option isn't due for six more days.

That eliminated my need to go to the post office entirely. So I got a cookie and went downstairs. For some reason, I decided to enter the second rebate right away, even though it was possibly a bad idea (for reasons I don't feel like explaining. Trust me.)

If I hadn't decided to do the second rebate online, I would have missed out on the $30 from that rebate, because you can't do it online. So, I quickly finished stuffing the envelope and tried to truck it to the post office before it closed.

If I hadn't gone to the post office after those delays, and even if the delays hadn't kept me at home the exact right amount of time, I wouldn't have stood next to the very cute hippie girl acquaintence from The Northen Star.

But I did. And she did give me her phone number in hopes of hanging out and teaching me to cross-stitch in the future. One of the things on me "to-do" list forever, on account of the fact that I assume I could turn cross-stitch into a cottage industry that saves me from real work.

But the important part is that she's very cute. And I have her contact information.

Greatest trip to the post office. Ever.

Oh, c'mon, it is too. Nothing ever happens there except when I mail stuff. So by defalt, this has to be the best. Booyah.
