OK, right after Christmas I had some extra cash so I decided it would be a good time to go check eBay for an iPod. Just my luck, I came across a $180 10 Gig version. I used 'Buy it now' and purchased it. The seller sent it out on Monday. I can understand it taking 3 business + 1 Holiday days to go the entire four hour trip from Chicago to St. Louis, but what I can't understand is why our fat-ass postal employee wouldn't get out of his god damn car and walk up to my door to deliver the box! He filled out a slip to tell me that he couldn't get ahold of me. (I sat there and watched him deliver our mail, but I didn't know it was coming via USPS) Is it really that difficult to open your door, walk the 20 feet to my door, ring the bell, and deliver the package? I don't know if I trust a guy who will lie to his employer (tell him that I wasn't home) to deliver what should be totally confidential mail. Plus the slip says I can't pick it up until tomorrow (I have some stuff to do so I'll probably miss it tomorrow too and not be able to pick it up until Monday)

Had to get that out of my system.
