I Hate The Post Office

Oooh. I had a long livid rant all lined up and ready to go against the Post Office. No, not the band Postal Service - they’re still cool. I mean the place where all your wonderful CD submissions go. Anyway, I deleted the rant to get to the point:

I’ve always had “issues” with receiving mail at our PO Box - the dunces simply refuse to believe that there might be some crazy person who reviews music as a FREE SERVICE for the benefit of indie musicians out there. I don’t get paid for this, this isn’t a job. So hell, of course I don’t have any fricking business license. I’m already paying for the PO Box, but NO they’ve got to make life hard for this FREE SERVICE I’m doing. I thought I was helping them out by not sending millions of packages to my house.

I was recently trying to add the Palebear name to our other PO Box since the Shmat one is going to expire, and they gave me the most unbelievable hard time. It wasn’t like this before, but oh well.

So, for now I’m going to try and include my name as an “ATTN” to see if that allows me to receive your CD submissions. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know if your packages are being returned to you. If that happens, I WILL use my house address. Sorry, mailmen… blame your idiot friends who work at the post office. Here is the new address:

Palebear
ATTN: B. Yoshida
PO Box 397
Alhambra, CA 91802
