   USPS sux so much ass!
That's right, United States Postal Service, YOU. You suck so much ass, and I know you're reading this because you have something against me and every person who knows you guys are out to mess with our mail.

Alright, so I'm collecting books for my future classroom. I started out with a goal of 1000, but it's dwindled down to 500 books now that I'm being more realistic. I just want a wide variety of books so that my students are able to check out more books if I provide them in my class library, and so they'll get a better education. Plus, it'll make my classroom more of a learning environment.

I won this auction off of Ebay for 107 different Science and Nature books for children. I want them to have lots of nonfiction reading, too. =]. I was really excited about this lot, and I was able to get a good deal. I opted for insurance because I knew that I could never trust the USPS, especially the one in Austin. Don't even get me started on the shitty customer service.

I wasn't home the day that they supposedly delivered my package, so I had to go pick it up during the weekend. The worker handed me a box. It was ripped open on one side. I'm not talking about just ripped open, but cut open on three of the edges so that it flaps open. Inside was 8 small books, a piece of newspaper, and pictures of people. Can you believe they thought this was acceptable to even "deliver" to a customer? What the fuck? I assumed the pictures belonged in some other package they ransacked, and decided to throw the remainders into my box. I was speechless, and was like, well what am I supposed to do? (Thinking back, I should've had a tantrum, and embarassed everybody, but I was too stupid to think about that at the time.) The worker told me to contact the person who bought the insurance, which was the sender, and for them to file a claim.

Now, I'm the one filing the claim, but first I gotta wait for the sender to mail me my receipt and a receipt of the insurance.

God damn you USPS!
