I learned two things today 21.8.
Hi ๐ you're reading a pretty old post! I started writing on here back in high school and this page may not reflect my current views. Recommend checking out related articles and categories down below, I've likely published more recent thoughts on this topic.
Today I learned that people really really love postcards. Bought one too many yesterday (it later turned out I didn't buy too many, I just forgot my grandmother might like getting one) and offered on Facebook on Twitter to send the first person who gives me their address a postcard.
Five people asked for one. So now that I was going to buy postcards anyway I asked for random people who might like a postcard and ended up having to buy fourteen of them. Well ok, three of those are for some cool professors @zidarsk8 reminded me of.
Point is, people love postcards still.
Another thing I learned is that in the US they have automated stamp dispensing machine. You just swipe a credit card, press a few buttons and ugly stamps come out. Quite an amazing system if you need stamps on a Sunday afternoon.
PS: bonus thing I learned; wearing a bunny hat in Cheesecake Factory does not phase the waiters at all.
