Sigh. It’s a small thing at the end of the day and I’m gonna get over it soon. But I just want to vent because no one else in my life will even remotely care LOL.
I asked the worker at the USPS counter if I could borrow the hand-canceling stamp for my wedding invites to do it in front of the counter (like off to the side or something) and she said “we don’t do that. I can give you a tray and they’ll be hand-cancelled at the end of the day.” Fine, whatever. I should’ve probably gone to another location but it was in the middle the work day so I just went to the closest one to my office and had to get back.
I mailed a test one to myself and it arrived today. Not hand-cancelled. Small tear at the bottom corner, possibly from the sorting machine. Dirty (though I know it would’ve been dirty regardless since I didn’t use an outer envelope, but I was just disheartening to see firsthand). Ugh. Just a little sad and annoyed at the time I wasted even putting out physical invites, but oh well. What’s done is done.
This small thing is a reminder that many other little things will likely go wrong from now till the wedding (late June) and I can’t control all of them!
