Chicago Postal System

Alright, remember me bitching about the mail... well I wasn't making it up. Chicago just got ranked the worst city in the country for mail delivery. Apparently, unbenownst to me, ABC Chicago has been tracking numerous complaints for the last couple of months to see if they could get any scoop. In order to fix the problem, the postal system has added 200 more carriers. Honestly, in a city the size of Chicago when numerous people aren't getting their mail for days at a time, I don't think 200 more carriers is enough. I guess the upside to this is that I haven't been blacklisted on the postal system and they just suck here in general. Good to know.


It snowed here yet again today. And by "again," I mean for the 5th day in a row. However, today was not the flurries we've been seeing. It snowed from 6am until 2pm straight and O'Hare got a record 3 inches. In the course of my move I had decided to pack all of my winter clothes separately in a big tub for storage. Thankfully I was too lazy to move them anywhere and had left them in my car; otherwise I'm not sure what I would be wearing right now.

at least u have a blanket. i took all my dirty laundry home last week to clean including my comforter and blanket and i forgot them. so now ive been going to bed wearing a sweatsuit with only a sheet and one of those little blankets so small i even question why they are made. u know what im talking about. it either covers from the bottom of ur knees to the top of ur feet or the top part of ur chest halfway to ur stomach. ive spent the last week shivering. finally two days ago i went to the closet and took some towels to cover up with!! of course none of my friends have an extra blanket i could borrow. i guess i'll have to go to the store and buy one but i havent yet.
