Normally, it costs ~$30-40 to ship packages from here to Cali for work via UPS.

Today, I logged on to see what it'd cost to ship a package there.
$80.

Eighty fucking dollars.

Dude. Shipping costs have gone up a TON in the last few months. Small packages are about the same, but anything over 5 lbs is fucking crazy now. USPS is cheaper than UPS for most of our packages, but also way harder to deal with if there is an issue.

Shipping companies can eat a dick.

Shipping companies can eat a dick.

Internet providers too!

Regarding "eat a dick"...I've noticed I've been using this a lot of my real life. I know 100% where it's from. Thank you Louise for what is becoming my new favorite saying.

I was writing EAD on people's homework in 7th grade hehe

And yes good ol USPS is my mail carrier of choice.

The thing is, USPS's prices increase dramatically if I ship past the Mississippi, which is why I used UPS.
I can't use FedEx because every single time I shipped something, they tacked on $20+ worth of charges because it's a criminal organization.
This whole thing with UPS, though, really caught me off guard. Especially since I have several regulars that ship from the western US, so a 200% price increase in shipping could, potentially, kill my business.

DHL? Or is that West coast only

Like a child, I somehow managed to get an eye Stye and now i'm fighting the urge the scratch the hell out of it.

[actual]

Styes just need a good poppin' like a zit. Take two q-tips, disinfect them with boiling water and pop away.

I'll wait a couple days

[neonblack]

That lol is the most concerning part of that statement

You can come in the tub with all of us to. We can go to my house if Olin's tub is too small.

[Strange Tales]

man, I just miss my Dad. It's like my first thought every time I wake up.

I want to do stuff but shit I still feel awful. It's already been 3 months but it feels like yesterday. Who knows how long this grieving shit takes.

[Olin]

I also keep thinking about dying and you are most certainly welcome into the wetroom.
I don't have a tub, just a shower because my landlord is a savage who won't let me bathe, but my neighbour is a pizza place so that makes up for it.

This is going to turn into the most homo-erotic suicide party ever, isn't it?
