Well, I took my piles of holiday cards to the post office to get them
weighed and sent to *abroad* on Monday. I got the most grumpy person in the
world to deal with them.
She said "What? all these cards to America and Europe?"
I said "Yes"
She said "If you think I am sticking all the air mail stickers on them as
well as the stamps we will be here all day"
So they were all pushed back to me to stick the airmail stickers on myself.
So there I was, sticking the airmail stickers on trying to be faster than
her sticking the stamps on.
I was about to say "but isn't that your job?" but decided against it.
Christmas spirit and all that.
And btw, I can stick nearly 60 airmail stickers on faster than she could
stick on the stamps ;-))
So I pushed a huge pile of cards back before she was ready for them.
Pity, but there you go. I want to send cards, it's her job to do it

I had to put all the stamps on as well, I needed a nice cup of tea after
licking them all. At least the airmail stickers are self adhesive.

We have self-adhesive stamps here these days. :) I did have to lick the
envelopes, though, so needed a big glass of water afterwards.

Tweed, it's the same here. Our post office clerks will not accept
a large amount of mail unless they are all stamped and ready to go
so all they have to do is pick them up and put them in the bin. I
mean I could have done that myself, right? Oh well, I guess they
don't get paid enough. :(

All I have to do is fill out a form at the local post office for over 20
items with the same postage, and they'll just stamp them all via the
computer. You folks miss out on the stamp, but I don't get glue-tongue.

So, is there anyone in particular who collects stamps that desperately wants
a 2007 Australian Christmas stamp? Or will y'all forgive me if I get the
computer stamp?

If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many
pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones.

I think you can be forgiven. ;-)

Computer stamp is fine with us.
