Haven't gotten my gift yet and I'm leaving for Cali. on Wednesday bright and early /: So unless it comes tomorrow, I won't be posting about my gift until at LEAST Christmas Day (when I return) if not later. So if you are my SS and don't see a post about my gift, that MIGHT be why. I will check in with my roommate periodically to see if I got a package and will post on here if I do (just without pictures obviously).

It makes me sad when people talk bad about the USPS. This is probably mainly due to the fact that my mom is a letter carrier for the USPS and I know just how INSANE everything is this time of year. On a normal day she should finish delivering on her route by 4pm, but I don't think she's been home earlier than 7 since before thanksgiving. No joke she was out until 10:45 one night delivering! It's kind of hard to read addresses when it's pitch black by 4 and your truck has no interior light.... BUT I'd say most of the scanning issues are due to insanely high volumes of mail going out this time of year. There could be a lag. Also I wouldn't be surprised if someone just forgot to do a scan. Just like sometimes you see one scan x3 bc someone sorting either forgot if they got it or hit the scan key more than once. (Monday is their worst day of the week in terms of how much they must deliver. Hang in there and be patient even though it's hard! I know

Thanks for the idea on what to get Bill (our mailman)! By 3:30 PM the sunsets here and right now it's 4:50 PM and it's essentially night time and very dark even with the almost full moon. This is our last year here since we're moving across country and Bill has been our mailman (we've lived in this neighborhood) since the twins were about a year old and they're now 10. My eldest graduated from high school this past June and we moved to our previous house (same neighborhood but about four or five blocks away) when she was in the 3rd grade so yeah... about nine years this March if I recall correctly. I need to find one of those clip-on lights for hats because he wears in the winter those mail person hats with the ear muffs while in the summer he wears a postal baseball cap. I'll have to make sure it's under $20 due to the postal restrictions.

That's a great idea!

I need to think of a little gift for my mailman...I'll probably just go with a gift card or something.

 
My dad made BFFs with all our mail carriers. He was a big ebayer when I was younger and would hang out in the garage all afternoon (he worked nights). The area mail carriers would come over to our garage for lunch breaks! My moms best friends husband was a mail carrier too and very popular (what ever is the not-union leader position but something like that) so our house became the place for all mail carrier parties. It's definitely a good thing to have mail carrying friends!

 
My SS hasn't been online for four days now and sent an elf four days ago to check on her.

I haven't heard anything from her yet.

Should I be worried? Well, I already am because I had issues when the box was in transit, I just hope it reached her.

Should it have been missent, I will be only be able to send another box maybe next year because we will be out of the country soon.

 
Yippieeeeee!!!!! I got my box!! Took me forever to post on the reveal thread but I finally got it together!! My SS was [@]Sunflowercake[/@]. She was super generous. This has been an awesome experience that I will always remember!

Oh!!!   REI has the most wonderful little clip on LED lights http://www.rei.com/product/861739/gerber-gdc-zip-light  that you can attach to all manner of things and this wonderful thing that I carry with my Telescope tool kit.   http://www.rei.com/product/850230/princeton-tec-point-hat-clip-light

My Dad is also friends with the mail carrier, but mostly because he befriends everyone all the time.

The wrapping is beautiful! 

 
I love seeing all these presents! I didn't get a chance to mail mine today, Working night shift can kinda put me in a coma! But I'll be mailing it out first thing in the morning after I get done work.

I hope my giftee loves it! I'm seriously worried. There's some awesome, really thoughful, people out there. Did I do good enough? We shall see.

Looking forward to more reveals in the days to come!
