I think your parcel must do a tour of every USPS Distribution Center in the United States before it can leave the United States.

Yeah, but, it hasn't been to Hawaii or Alaska yet. And even then it has to go via Florida.

Yes, let's destroy everyone over your silly little camera, Karen.

A simple letter recently took 9 weeks to get from the UK to Cambodia. Inside that letter was a certificate that was valid only for 3 months. These days, I’m not so surprised, but I still have the capacity to be disappointed.

Having been involved in air freight for some time, at times I’ve been quite impressed at how quickly, regularly and reliably, we can get stuff from one place to the other side of the world. At about the same time, I’ve become astounded at how often something critical got lost between one office and the one next door.

I’m referring to these instances as being governed by the 95%* rule.
95% of the time, things seem to work as intended. It’s the 5% where, once it goes awry, Murphy, Sod, and all the other negative laws take a firm grip and mess with one’s sanity. It’s like the black hole of reason.


*I have no idea if 95% is even close to being a true value, but it is a number that is applied to quite a few processes and systems. So I’m using it. Or misusing it….
