U.S. Postal workers have reason to be proud as the Postal Service announced on Wednesday a nearly perfect service record during the third quarter of 2008. On-time overnight delivery rates reached 97 percent, the highest score ever achieved by the government organization. Two-day service had a 95-percent on-time rate, and three-day service was on-time 94 percent. The United States Post Office was established in 1776 by Benjamin Franklin.

1. I've been impressed

This week, and it's happened before, I sent two packages from Northern Virginia to southern Florida - different addresses, one down in the Keys - and they arrived, First Class Mail, in 48 hours. That's a really good bang for my buck. Their service really has been very good, at least in my recent experience.

2. The people that work in my local post office are incredibly rude.

I stopped going to that office. My friend mentioned this to her therapist and the therapist said, "I don't blame her, they're so rude." They're widely known for it.

They think customers are a nuscience. I can't spell that.
