What the HELL is up with the US Postal service! I ordered a corset and a skirt seperately from the same seller on eBay. The corset I won a week after I won the skirt, and yesterday I got the corset. So it dawns on me that I should have gotten the skirt by now. I check my hotmail, and click the little tracking thing, note that it is called a DELIVERY CONFIRMATION NUMBER, and it says that it has been delivered to my ZIP code. So I go down to my dorm office and ask, and as if this is going to help, they go through all the package slips from packages I had already picked up. If I was looking for a package I had already picked up, then I would have lost some of my damned marbles, yes? So they're like, "You've picked up three packages..." And I told them, actually, I had picked up four, and that I could tell them what was in each one, and that it wasn't the one I am lookign for, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for it now would I? So they tell me to call the university mail service. I call those pricks, knowing what to expect of course. More systematic bullshit, and this p***k is telling me that they can't trace my package because it's "just like any other piece of mail that comes through." No it's not. A.) IT'S A ******** BOX, NOT AN ENVELOPE! I would think that it would be harder to lose a box! B.) I bet if it was a ******** bomb kit or something like that, I ******** bet my life that they would find a way to trace it. Not saying that my eBay shopping is as important as a matter of university security, but as a mail worker, this is your JOB and PURPOSE to make sure that the mail, especially the BIG BOXES get to where they should be going. None of that mindless bullshit where you lose things. Like me, as a librarian, it's not my ultimate life goal or anything, but it's like this: I am being paid to perform a task and serve a purpose of finding books if they exist and keeping track of them. And I take it seriously.
And also, the reason s**t gets lost so much is because the world is so ******** populated that the individual has been lost. You are a number, or multiple numbers... customer number, account number, social security number, tax ID number, driver license number, the list goes ON AND ON! I understand that it is a system that works but HONESTLY! People complain about things being dehumanizing, such as biopsychology, reducing humans down to chemicals instead of supreme mystical mysterious beings, but look at how our "systems" work... or fail to work. It's pure hypocrisy! It's absurd! And at least the reduction of humans into chemical processes has solid scientific stance and evidence! God damn romantic supremacists.
So what happened here was that I am pissed off about my cute skirt that I bougt being lost in the mail but it make me think about the world as a whole and how the loss of the individual is rampant today. I want my damn skirt. It's ******** adorable.
Also, I thought that philosophy would be right up my alley, and other people have said it too since I like to think about things, but it is quite difficult to wrap my head around and is extremely circular... and just all comes back to the point that there is no definity.
Over and out.
