3/1/2006 1:45:59 PM

thanx tho!

3/1/2006 1:47:01 PM

3/1/2006 1:48:35 PM

eh, it's cool it was for a buddy mailing a resume. just did the double up of 37s.

3/1/2006 1:50:22 PM

omg, you just wasted 35 cents

3/1/2006 1:55:55 PM

just don't mail shit

3/1/2006 1:57:36 PM

OH NOOOOOOOO 35 cents

they were free to me neways, not a big deal

^ i usually don't mail shit, my buddy is tryin to get an internship, so he had to do things officially w/ real paperwork and shit. so he had to mail it

3/1/2006 2:03:33 PM

^ any internship that involves paperwork is a big red flag.

3/1/2006 2:05:33 PM

it's just a resume, should that throw a red flag?

3/1/2006 2:07:22 PM

crap, i didnt know about the increase either. i just mailed something with a 37 cent stamp...do they have a few months grace period or will that shit come back to me?

3/1/2006 2:07:57 PM

yeah, stay the hell away from it

3/1/2006 2:08:18 PM

haha oh well, not my prob.

nobody is gonna hire a guy that used 74 cents worth of stamps to mail 39 cents worth of stuff

3/1/2006 2:19:01 PM

hahaha, i'll never admit it.

3/1/2006 2:19:46 PM

yeah im talking about the guy that mailed his resume in with wasted postage on it.

3/1/2006 2:20:54 PM

oh well. so, any suggestions for jobs for me? business management major, sophmore. preferring to stay in raleigh, or charlotte.

3/1/2006 2:22:07 PM

first off...it wasnt a resume. Ive already got the job. It was an official certification that i needed to send them which would not be appropriate through email or fax.

That's why you don't buy a lot of stamps at one time if you don't mail shit regularly.

Stamp prices increase rather consistently.

Dont use USPS.

They've lost so much mail and so many packages of mine over the past couple of years it's not even funny.

Most recently they lost out of print books, and several bills.

Everything I ship out now that isn't international goes UPS, FedEx, or I deliver it by hand or electronically.

NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE

3/1/2006 5:29:21 PM

i mean i did clean the townhouse, so the opportunity cost of what i coulda done was what i forfeited. so you're right.

3/1/2006 5:32:05 PM

^
Right, you "cleaned" out jewelry, televisions, and a couple other things while you were there

Jeep, Wal-mart has $0.02 stamps in packs of 20 out of a vending machine. I hate going to the post office myself. Enjoy.

3/1/2006 5:58:52 PM

ive got some christmas stamps from 98 that are 32 cent stamps. ill use 2 of those to mail out something like taxes or a bill. but id never send a resume with overpaid postage on it.

3/1/2006 6:02:44 PM

^^ i CLEANED it, the guy had a dog and there was like an inch of hair everywhere

however. i did get a sweet dewalt drill, and a black and decker laser level. but alas, no tv's or jewelry. i rescued two fish that ended up having a baby tho!

3/1/2006 9:42:37 PM

well that is kinda pointless since the USPS handles most of the FedEx and UPS small packages. Just send it priority mail and you shouldn't have any problems. Or if you are that concerned, send it certified so that someone has to sign for it.

uh i sent something with a 37 cent stamp in feb

it got through fine
