Package Delivery on President's Day (Tomorrow)?

[MacWQ33]

I know mail isn't delivered tomorrow...but what about UPS and Fedex and stuff. Do they still do packages tomorrow? Can you go up there to get a package? Is it considered a business day tomorrow lol? I'm dumb I know.

[slipknotpsycho]

i got my comp in the mail, it was supposed to be here friday, but a FUCKING TRAIN DERAILED... (wtf???) and it got delayed... my wife called up there, and they told her monday is a holiday, but that they're still going to be delivering packages... but they also told her they knew nothing about a train and that my package should have been here 2 days ago now (like it was planned to be)

this is ups btw..

so, according to them, they should still be delivering packages... but also according to them i shoulda been on my new comp, and not this POS... so take it with a grain of salt.

[MacWQ33]

Train derailment eh? Different lol. Hope you get that shit tomorrow.

But, yeah, we shall see. I'm sitting here like, 'oh I can't wait for the mail tomorrow'.

A few seconds later I'm like, 'Damn.....'.

Is the post office just straight up closed tomorrow? LOL..I know I should know this kind of stuff..but I'm just not 100% sure.

[slipknotpsycho]

i hope i get it tommorow too... :stoned: today i placed my order on my video card as well (Radeon X1950 Pro Extreme) i'm finally going to have a comp that owns...

[MacWQ33]

Good luck to us both.

[slipknotpsycho]

:D mines a dual core as well.... but mines an intel e6400?

(your thread has offically been jacked) my comp was supposed to have a 7600 GT, (every other m7760n on the net had one, but for some reason, new egg wanted to sell 'em with the integrated shit) i guess it's better off... i'm getting a better card then the 7600 would have been....

[Dr HaZzMatT Esq.]

I think I see your mail!

[slipknotpsycho]

WTF HAPPENED THERE??? i've only ever seen one trainwreck look that damn mangled... and that was one of those speed trains in japan lol.. the dude was trying to make up for being behind and ended up slamming the train into a skyrise...

[Daveracer]

I work in the Finance Dept. at UPS, and YES they will be delivering parcels tomorrow :thumbsup:

[MacWQ33]

Thanks for the info guys. So are post offices closed, or just not delivering?

[TheAtomicPunk]

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

I thought this was gonna be about bush getting a package with a bomb in it tommorow.. i was like "jesus christ its a miricle" lol

[slipknotpsycho]

you don't even live in america.. shit.. when people who aren't under his thumb is wishing him death.... i guess that's a sign of a really shitty president..

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

yeah but to me bush is the next hitler, and hitler wanted to rule the world not just one country.. if hitler won WW2 we'd all be fucked, once bush has finshed fuckin up america im pretty sure he'll move onto another country

[slipknotpsycho]

well.. now we got like a year left... there's acutally counters on the net that count down to the exact second we're finally rid of him lol....

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

nope a president can only serve 2 terms (there was one president a long time ago that did either 3 or 4, but after him, it became a law that a president can only serve 2 terms (2 years at 4 years each)... so in 2008, no matter what, we're rid of him.. he can't run again.... lol tho, this should get intresting, cuz we have a woman (hillary clinton) and a muslum (black) dude (something -obama) .. i'm sure there'll be a third.. but i can't wait to see who wins... now it's like american idol, instead of presidency... there's a damn good chance we're about to see a presidency first..


oh yeah, the voting thing you know of.. isn't really as powerful as everyone makes it out to be.. that's called the popularity vote..a nd technically.. it doesn't make a fuck what those votes say... someone who loses in those votes, can still win presidency.. i'm not sure exactly how.. cuz i haven't paid that much attention.. but i know what i'm saying.. i even think bush lost the popularity vote one of his terms... and as you can see there he is.

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

what was nixon like? dont know much about him, only thing i remmeber about him is holdin his hands in the air

"IM NOT A CROOK!" lmao

[slipknotpsycho]

Funny you must be near me, I have the same thing happening to me right now...

[slipknotpsycho]

houston area?

[Daveracer]

I'd be willing to bet a Democrat will take office next, simply because Bush has disgraced Republicans.

[4gan2ja0]

i think he did something like spy on the opposition or something... as for popular vote, i believe its whether or not the public agrees with your campaign and its policies... correct me if im wrong on either of those.
peace:jointsmile:

[slipknotpsycho]

even if the public disagrees, said person can still win... or something like that

dave - that would be hillary clinton... lol... personally.. either way i think we win... we're either gettin a woman or a black dude... so far (as said in a comedy but i'm twisting the end point) white men have been screwing up this country since the begining... i think it's time for a change (the comedy says white men have been screwing up this country since the begining of it, why change it now?)

[4gan2ja0]

bleh

Popular vote is simply all the votes counted out.

Electoral vote is basically "points" assigned to each state. The larger the state, the larger the "points". Win the popular vote IN THE STATE, win the points.

They go by the electoral vote. So let's say for instance,

Joe was running against Tom. Joe wins MA by 1,000,000 votes.

Tom wins TX by 1 vote.

Joe is winning the popular vote, but Tom is winning the electoral vote (which is what really matters).

So therefore, a president can be voted into office when less than half the population voted for someone else.

Lovely system, isn't it?

[slipknotpsycho]

me?

nah i put a post without thinking entirely first, lets just leave it at that.. i put bleh, while i cahnged it around so no one would go commenting on it... i'm drunk ..

[delusionsofNORMALity]

what was nixon like?

he was the last truly presidential president we had. though i didn't agree with many of his policies, at least he didn't need handlers to tell him how to think. he was an everyman, very little charisma, who gave the impression of a man with a job to do. if it wasn't for the paranoia of the times which led to the watergate fiasco and his leaving office in disgrace this would be a very different country. since then all of our presidents have been either buffoons or popularity contest winners. now it seems we would rather have a fool with charisma than a man with a workable plan.

but that's just my opinion.

I agree.

Big changes to come. Honestly, all i want is for bud to be legalized, and for gas prices to drop to $1.00/gal.

Is that really too much to ask for??? :p

[slipknotpsycho]

apparently... yes and yes.
