Todd doesnt understand that USPS does not consider floppy disks media
mail anymore, There are 330lbs total of floppy disks, And 500lbs of
documentation, he doesnt realize that it will cost hundreds of dollars
for them to be shipped across the country, Yes he did pay for the disks
and some shipping, but it wasnt enough to cover it. And i definitely
am not going to pick up the tab to ship these things out of my house.
Yes I want them gone, I have 330lbs of them sitting here. So if he
wants to come get them when I am kid free, that is fine.
As far as the eviction is concerned its none of anyone's concern but if
Todd wanted to see the judgement all he would have had to do was ask.
And I go to VCFMW every year, Its none of his concern about making
hotel reservations, Im not the one paying for it, my gf is.

Shhh, he's busy crafting an alternate narrative in which we're all
conspiring against him.
"I don't want you near my kid," by the way, is definitely, for this old
dog, a brand new one in the annals of excuses of deals gone sour and
promises broken.

I'll admit it's the first time I've seen "But think of the
children!" used
in this context. For even more entertainment, hang out on #classiccmp and
watch the drama queen in action. His tiara is so heavy I'm surprised he
can hold his head up.

To get Media Mail rates I had to open the package up for inspection at
the counter, then reseal it afterwards. So you'd better be prepared for
that - and better to know before you show up with a dozen carefully
sealed and labeled boxes, and no tape...
And don't be too surprised if you encounter an employee who claims they
"don't do that any more." The link and regulation number Gene supplied
should be handy in such a case.

Yes, they can indeed do that, but I have never seen it.

Mostly you will find an employee that just does not care.
ANY computer media can be sent, as long as it is "used". Send your
McBee cards and BIZMAC tapes - they are covered.

Did you see the bit I tacked on in my sig? Yes, I know my USPS people
well, and have very few complaints.

It's amazing the level of service you can get from a postal employee if
you treat them like they're people, not drones there to do your bidding.

It's absolutely true, though as I usually mention here, it does
depend on the local post office. The workers here are generally
pretty nasty no matter how many smiles I give them, though in all
probability it may be because they are expecting the same kind of
behavior that entitled white people usually exhibit in that
particular post office.
That still doesn't explain why the carriers can't deliver our
mail correctly, but it may be a step towards the answer.

I absolutely have my "favorite" post office, where we work together to make
my documentary shipping as painless as possible. (For example, I'll bring
in 30 boxes, and then I'll see some people come in, and I'll immediately
wave them forward, so those people with one letter don't sit there for 15
minutes.) Some of the staff are better at certain boxes, and we work on it.
We get along.
