We Have Issues: Front counter workers for the Post Office


I use to hear things about government workers.  About how slow they worked.  How complacent they are.  How they rode it out until they retired.  Today I want to declare that some of the worst Government workers I’ve seen were at the United States Post Office.

This not to say all Postal employees, but the ones I just encountered sucked.  There were 4 of them.  Three were at the cash registers and there was 1 who was trying to get some info from their cash registers.  The 3 on the cash registers were older women.  All 3 looked as if they were close to retirement.  The one who was trying to get info from their cash registers seem as if he was working his last day before his retirement.

This was one of my worst Post Office experience during a non-holiday time frame.  The 3 women will be dubbed, W:A, W:B, and W:C.  We’ll just call the man Tom.  W:B spent upwards of 6 minutes applying that “post office” shipping tape to a box the size of a shoe box.  She seemed to be enthralled and mystified that the tape was actually sticking.  An it didn’t help matters that her customer spoke very little English. 

W:C was moving at the speed of tar.  Then out of the blue, she had to stop helping her customer so that she could help out W:B.  Apparently, W:B couldn’t perform a certain feature on her cash register.  I’m sure she uses the cash register everyday.  On cue, here comes Tom from out of the back.  Smiling and joking around.  Soon he was looking at the long line of people searching for a familiar face. 

Tom eventually identified a few regulars and shouted at them in a friendly manner.  He also joked around with W:A, W:B, and W:C, of course distracting them.  W:A slowly finishes up with her custom and Tom slid in her spot and checked something on her register.  Still joking and laughing; annoying the hell out of the line of customers.  He eventually moved on to W:B and W:C. 

I finally was served by W:A.  She could tell I was annoyed by their shenanigan.  I was the 4th person in line and it took close to 20 minutes for me to be seen with 3 clerks working the cash registers. 

What’s seriously problematic is when there is a long line of people and you see workers standing around at the counter.  As a customer, you’re wondering why that lazy person is standing around and not manning the cash register.  This leads to customer anger and causes people to stereotype government employees.  Postal employees that is. 

Do your job and quit screwing around!

Houston police stated that 49 year old James John Onak hit a man and drove with the man's body in his car.  However, in his defense, it was dark, and though he simply "hit" something.  The smashed windsheild and body in the front seat of course didn't mean anything to ol' Mr. Onak.

We Have Issues: Man Buried with Wrong Dentures


Sorry folks...this is something that can't be made up.  It seems that Kenneth Manis was buried with someone else teeth in his mouth.  Some type of mix up at the hospital.  

TV: Man vs Food

















Is it me, or did something happen to Adam Richman from the television show Man Vs. Food (MVF).  I ask this because over the spring time, he hosted a lot of the "best of" MVF type shows.  Now he has the MVF Nation.  Maybe all of those challenges got the best of him.  I know it would've gotten the best of me.  Only Adam knows what happen.

Movies: Transformers III (3)



The last 2 were good.  We can only hope this 3rd installment lives up the the hype.  Just imagine, Transformers was a cartoon from the 1980's and now it has evolved into a blockbuster hit.  Hopefully this is the last installment.  If it's good, then go out with a bang.

In the meantime, we need to see if Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can out do Megan Fox.

WE Have Issues: 8 teens Beat down Carter Strange




We wish a speedy and full recovery for 18 year old Carter Strange.  Um...this is sick and uncalled for.  We can only imagine the hell he went through.  Eight dumb teens decided there were going to roam the streets of Columbia, SC looking for people to rob.  This pack of young thugs beat the living daylights out of Carter Strange.  One of the items taken from young Mr. Strange was his cell phone.  An like clockwork, one of the criminals immediately used the cell phone.  Probably to brag and to show off.

Seems like you will need to start killing these thugs in order to get your point across.  I can't wait to see what's said about the 8 teen by their family members.  Probably the same ol' same ol' about how they are good people.
