Going Postal
Tuesday, March 7th, 2006I’m enjoying the freelance lifestyle of not needing to set an alarm to wake up in the morning, and I usually get up by 7:30 or so. Last night I checked the hours for the nearest post office and was all prepared to be there right when they opened at 8:30, but for some reason I was still in bed at 8:48! I got a move on and took my first six boxes over to be shipped, and it wasn’t nearly as much of a hassle as I anticipated–I was able to back in to a spot right by the (automatic) front door, and pile up all the boxes on the counter over several trips before I stood in line. I was extra nice to the postal workers since I plan to be making a few more trips in the coming days! I have P.O. trips marked on my calendar for nearly every other day, which will ideally keep me on track with the packing and shipping. I also picked up some more boxes at my local Barnes & Noble, which look like they’ll hold a decent number of books without getting too heavy.
