What's mildly irritating you today?

The post office is not good at contingencies. Since they've gotten into this "last mile" system, with the retailer or carrier dumping your package at the nearest major postal hub, it's added at least two days delay in shipping. Like 1.5 days from South Carolina to Philly Post Office and 6 days 9 miles to me. But that's better than fedex, 2 days from CA to the fedex depot in Exton, PA and 10 days for the 15 miles to me. After all that they dumped it in the snow at the end of the driveway. I love UPS.
