the post office incident and my floor heating crisis

This morning, I finally got off my ass to go mail things back home. I have been meaning to do it for a while, but thinking and doing are two very different things. And in Jamie’s world, thinking often happens in very elaborate ways and ideas are easy; but the follow-through only happens ever so rarely.

Anyhow, by last night, I realized that it probably won’t even get back in time for Christmas so what was the point anyway? But then, I can’t really just have random gifts lying around at home either…so this morning, I finally went to the post office.

I make it sound like it is a horrible chore, but just so you know, the post office is really just 7 minutes away (and that includes waiting for 3 minutes for the lights to change…and by the way, I’m walking too).

Anyways, I placed all the gifts in a huge plastic bag with post-it notes of addresses and lugged it to the post office only to realize that the post office here do not sell boxes or packaging or anything of that sort.

So I had to drag that huge clumsy bag back home and find boxes.

Which, of course, I failed miserably (because why would I conveniently have ready-to-mail boxes at that little shit hole I’m living in?) and I was pressed for time as I didn’t want to be late for work…(I can be ‘late’ 3 times each month…and I think I might be pushing it a little ..just a little~)

I guess everybody will just have to get late gifts. But then again, that was probably expected of me…….it wouldn’t be me if things were done on time, would it? =p

Okay, so that was my little post office incident. (I still can’t get over it. Why do they not sell boxes, dammit!!!) Now, for my floor heating crisis..and Yes, it IS a crisis!

The other night when it was freezing.. to make things clear, every day and every night is freezing, but that night was insanely cold. Okay, so there were five people at my place and we were just watching movies. Five people in my tiny little apartment and it was still freezing. So I decide to put on my floor heating (yes, even stingey Jamie used her gas for the greater good lol).

Two hours later..

The floor was still cold like ice!!

I wasn’t sure if it was because the temperature was so low, or because it was the first time I’ve used it, or because it’s just downright broken…

But what I do know is…it is so damn cold and the temperature seems to be getting colder by the minute each day.

Oh dear…

Now you agree that it’s a crisis don’t you?
