Horizons Magazine.\u00a0 I did a med lite and my morning yoga, and was at my desk by 6am.\u00a0 Due to a Sept 08 new rule, I have had to change how Horizons gets mailed each month, and now it has to go via permit, sorted by zone and 3 digit zip, then sacked and taken in to the main post office downtown.\u00a0 The sacks have to be labeled, the jobs separated by size, and 3 pages of paperwork filled out for each job.<\/p>\n<p>So I thought I\u2019d get a head start by having the printer tell me the weight count on one stack of magazines, then I could do all the paperwork ahead of time.\u00a0 I began doing all my figuring and was surprised that getting everything done in order to make the calculations to fill in the paperwork took me over 8 hours.\u00a0 I could not believe it.\u00a0 I\u2019m exhausted, but at least I have a handle on the forms now and feel familiar with them.\u00a0 Oh dang, I need to run to the post office and pick up about 40 of their white mail sacks so I don\u2019t have to do it before the mailing tomorrow.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a
