Hey AncientGoddess,
I feel your pain totally....
I swear I always thought that the Post office closed at 5pm around here...One day I just had to get a package weighed nothing more..cause I already pasted as many stamps on the envelope already and well turns out I got there at 430pm only to find out that they close at 4pm...I was mad...for walking so far in the first place and mad that I'd have to wait another day just to post one envelope!!!
