    Grumble...I Don't Do "No" Well - Particularly Around Kilts

    So my new USA Kilts Casual in the Pennsylvania tartan has arrived. First time I've paid the extra for faster service. So I head over to my little town's post office to pick it up.

    Post office has always been open from 2-4pm on Saturdays for parcel pick up...

    Right...not today. Closed tight. Radio blaring in back so I buzzed and knocked until a postal worker opened up and said they were closed. What? Always been open Saturday afternoon.

    Apparently there are 2% who never get the word. They started closing on Saturday a few weeks ago. budget or something.

    Fine, look, the door is open, please give me my kilt. No way....come back Monday. But its here...too bad - I don't care - slam.

    Its not like I don't have a kilt to wear - I just want what I want when I want it and I want my new kilt NOW!!....ideas surge through my mind....followed closely by penalties for tresspassing in a closed post office....

    Now have to wait (I don't do wait well either!) until Monday to pick up what is so temptingly close a few feet from where I was standing...and Tuesday to wear it to work....

    A different kind of jones....

    But good news - I wasn't arrested.....
