The price of stamps goes up...

Do you have a bunch of 37 cent stamps sitting around?
Better get around to buying some 2 cent stamps!
The cost of sending a 1oz letter in the U.S. just went up to 39 cents!
Why can't the Post Office have their price increases yield nicer looking numbers?
Honestly, 40 or 50 cents would be fine with me. Especially if it meant a longer delay before the next price increase.
This is gonna have such little effect on my life that I'm not even sure why I'm writing about it. I just had no idea these price increases were coming. The 39 cent stamp thing isn't gonna throw me into financial hardship, but just wanted to make the readers of this blog aware, in case they are as unaware as I am of such boring news. - Eric

P.S. My ipod came. It is now plugged into my Bose ipod dock at my cubicle desk. Now listening to "Strange Little Girl" by the Stranglers. I like listening to music at work sans headphones. How long will this last before someone puts in a formal complaint (comments-on-coworkers-suggestion-box) or they move me into an office (read: storage closet) that keeps my co-workers shielded/safe from getting tortured by the incredibly huge 51 track "The Association Anthology: Just the Right Sound". I've been listening to it a lot lately. "Never My Love" is great, but the fantastic "Windy" is easily capable of driving people insane.
