    Impatiently waiting...

    I have no patience at all. Working with wood has taught me some patience, but when it comes to waiting for Santa Claus, forget it. I'm like a 6 year all over again.

    I just today mailed a money order and order form off to Rick at Little Shavers for a new toy - er, tool.

    I know full well that the pokey post office hasn't even got it as far as the next town up the line as of yet, but I'm already having to fight the impulse to run down to the post office tomorrow morning, and see if anything came in yet.

    10 flipping days!!!!! The post office says, to get a letter from northern BC to Seattle, Washington. I could walk it there faster!!

    I have no patience. None whatsoever.Smile

          I like your driveway without even seeing it, Marci.

          I walk past my post office at least twice a day, and it has been very hard not to break in and search the place. Bouncing S

          I'd like to kill the post office. Jeez they're slow. Clerk in the PO told me it would take ten days to 2 weeks to get my letter from here in northern BC to Seattle, WA.

              Dave,
              I carved that buzzard sitting on a rock and had the same saying pianted on the rocks. I cant remember who I gave it to. Funny jillsy just asked about soldier patterns and I recomended Jim Maxwells Carving Carictures and the buzzard pattern is in the same book.

                So I go online, and use the PO's tracking system. I just gotta know if Rick is about to recieve the order, or if I have to wait yet another week. (groans)

                Talk about stupidity. The post office tracking only says it was accepted into the sorting station as of yesterday.

                !!!

                Same thing it said the day before, and the day before, and the day before....

                I knew I should have used the Visa...

                  Yahoo! According to the PO, the order was delivered Friday just before lunch.

                  Now I really will be checking my post box every day.

                      I know well the feeliog well. Here in my town if I mail a letter across town, it first travels 60 miles to a central sorting station and then back to the same post office I sent it from to then be delivered to the same town I mailed it from? Total delivery time for an across town letter 4-5 days. You can tell the post office is controlled by the federal government. LOL.

                          Well common sense will tell you its much cheaper and quicker to send it 60 miles and back rather than cancel the stamp and stick in in the right po box! lolWinkApplegeez, I lost my head, used the term common sense and a government agency in the same paragraph!SarcasticCowboy

                            I don't know why everyone is after the P.O. like any else that I have no control over i just get use to it.whatever i'm waiting for will arrive when it arrives.
                            having just finished participating in the last two segment exchanges parcils of the same size and same weight took between 9-20 days to arrive at there destination.it was not always the farthest aways that took the longest.

                              I "go after" the post office because I am very impatient. I feel they should drop everything, and just move my package along as if it is the most important thing in the world, spare no expense or effort to get it to me. I want the PO to accept my package on one end, and deliver it no later than 1 day later. Better yet, deliver my package about an hour after it is sent. Bouncing S


                              I've chewed all the nails of my left hand down to bone, and am now about to start in on the right hand.
