Craigslist (Take 2)

Okay, so after none of the potential buyers panned out on my first attempt on Craigslist, I re-posted my entry last night, tweeking it a bit. This morning when I got to work, I had gotten four hits. So, apparently it does help to re-post your entries, so that the post appears back on the top of the list. I e-mailed everyone back, but have yet to get any responses. Oh, I did get a rather fishy e-mail, with the guy residing in Cleveland and wanting to do Paypal. Hmmmmmm.

During lunch, I went to Pakmail to ship a package, send a pre-stamped UPS package (used cartridge), and buy a pad of stamps. Since the Pakmail that I usually go to ran out of stamps, I went to this other one that was closer to work than the post office. So, I get there, and they make me fill out a form for the UPS package. I had never had to fill out any forms at the other Pakmail, much less have to give them some form of identification. I was like, forget it, I was doing HP a favor by bringing the dang cartridge in in the first place (Deanna used to throw them away). Whatever, so I'll take it to the other Pakmail some other day. So now I need stamps. I waited until the purchase to mail my package and the stamps are rung up and I check my receipt. $9.80. Okay, so maybe the package was a couple of bucks. But, nooooo, the stamps cost $9.00 and the package was only 80 cents. Huh? 20 stamps at 39 cents each...uh, $7.80. What da? Stupid Pakmail uped the price. WRONG! It was not that big of a deal, I guess I was just annoyed already with the UPS thing and that they failed to mention the cost of the stamps. Argh. Should have gone to the post office.

Now I'm back at work and bored out of my mind. Oh, and my co-worker informed me yesterday that the changing table will probably be moved to Austin next month. *sigh* I know, I know, patience is a virtue. Um, so I've been watching "So You Think You Can Dance" lately. I love these dancing shows! A guy will probably win...I'm guessing either Travis or Benjy. We'll see!
