It’s that time of year where waiting on line is the norm. Waiting to see Santa, waiting to purchase gifts, waiting for caffeinated beverages, waiting to get on a less crowded subway, waiting to let the tourists take a pic, and my least favorite, waiting at the post office. Sigh.
Today I could no longer avoid it. The holiday cards were sitting on the table taunting me. They needed stamps. Half of them needed the dreaded “international” stamp. I HAD to go to the post office.
Here in Manhattan they disguise the post offices in nice buildings so that you think all will be okay.
But then you walk in and find an enormous line which you know from experience is at least an hour wait time.
But then you remember the beautiful self service kiosk. It is a life saver.
Even though it only prints out 5 international stamps at a time it saves you at least 45 minutes. Victory!!!
Noticing that the main line has only moved three people, I leave feeling triumphant but remind myself not to get too cocky. I am sure that there is a huge line with an inept salesperson in my future 😉
Hope you are all enjoying some holiday fun. Keep laughing and staying calm! Happy Wednesday 🙂
It's Always An Adventure
