Fun gadgets are everywhere

I almost forgot the last fun bit of info about mailing my Sockapalooza pal’s package : the nifty touch screen mailing machine at the post office. I had intended to mail the package during my lunch hour on Thursday, but that hour never came, so I had to do it after work. I though I would just make it before the PO closed, and was sad when it looked like I had missed my window, but inside was this cool new (to me anyway) package sending machine. It is sort of like an ATM, with a scale and rulers and bins for appropriate stickers on top. You just use the touch screen and tell the machine where you’re sending it, and how, and what special extra features you want (insurance, etc)
and it spits out a nice little shipping label for you. Then, you just stick the label on the package, drop it in the super big post bin across the lobby, and you’re good to go. No waiting for open customer service hours, no waiting in long lines, just tap, print, stick, and mail. Yes, I’m a dork, but I do like how the little things in life amuse me
