Apparently, I haven’t overnighted anything is a long time. Took an envelope by UPS the other day to overnight some papers and discovered that I had three options for overnighting…

1) Delivery by 8:00am – $50 something dollars

2) Delivery by 10:30am – $27 or so

3) Delivery by sometime later in the day was like $20 something…(at this point, my brain was busy calculating whether it was worth it to overnight this small envelope in my hand and the words of the guy behind the counter was but a mere distant buzzing noise)

Am I revealing my age when I say that I can remember overnighting things for under $20?  Something like $17?  I suppose most of my overnighting was for work purposes, therefore, I simply filled out the form and sent it off to the mailroom and let the company deal with it…

So in the end, I took my little envelope… drove down the street to the good ol’ US post office where I went ahead and sent it via certified mail – so it will take perhaps 2-3 days to get where it needs to go and I sent it certified to make sure I had a record of it.  All for just over $3.

Then I went and treated myself to lunch.
