Yeah, it's good, and I've done enough conventions that it's nice to sit back and let other people figure things out.

I just want to go to help and have fun this year

I'm at a logistics meeting on discord for my friend's anime con. But I'm basically just listening, since I have intentionally not made myself one of the lead volunteers. I reserve that for a single event that another friend of mine runs where I manage registration and stuff.

It's true that you can't have too many sparkles

@Tsundererra: I would love an astrologer, but I don't know that I have anything good to trade you. I just really love the star chart BG

I like to cook when I have the time and energy, but a lot of times I'm too tired. I used to cook all the time, and make everything from scratch

@Tsundererra: I hope you get the orbs you're looking for! I'm thinking of donating so I can get an orb set and be guaranteed the astrologer

What are you going to cook?

Yeah, this is the first time this has happened to me, but it's also a separate delivery office that just handles packages in this area, and not mail. That's why I had the wrong phone number at first

Posted in Get In the Solstice Spirit: Community Goals Posted 5 years ago

Well, I try to start out calls like this assuming the best, and treating people kindly and patiently, and it usually works out. In fact, the employee just came to my door and delivered the package himself. He felt bad for the mistake, but I was just happy they were able to fix it so quickly. I had been told not to expect it until tomorrow.

What happened is the box got put on the wrong route, and he just looked at the last name, and delivered it to the family on his route with my last name.

I know some people have had trouble with the post office, but I think being kind and patient can go a long way toward improving how people in that job treat you, even if you think the situation is unreasonable, or the people are in the wrong.

Oops, I wasn't paying attention. I'll be careful about that

Apparently it may have been delivered to the wrong address...and they're calling the mail carrier to have them go get it

Now I'm amused instead of anxious, so it's a step up

I hate calling people, I'm gonna go eat a snack instead

Posted in Get In the Solstice Spirit: Community Goals Posted 5 years ago

okay, they answered, and apparently that wasn't even the phone number for my post office, even though it's listed as such on the usps website. what.

Posted in Get In the Solstice Spirit: Community Goals Posted 5 years ago

I called them and the phone range more than 30 times. I gotta call back

Aww, happy doggo

I'm waiting on a package that the post office said it delivered yesterday, but I was here and there was no delivery. Sometimes they do this, and it always stresses me out
