TAXES: Don't take it out on the postal employees

Tax time is rough on all of us, goodness knows, but a friend who works at one of our local post offices got a double-whammy. Not only did she have to pay her own taxes, but she had to deal with cranky customers all day. She said the last-minute filers were whining about having to pay taxes AND having to pay extra for mailing their returns.
"Do I REALLY have to mail it certified?" was a frequent complaint. (She did a funny imitation of a petulant customer.)
I was at the Unionville post office mailing off my checks on April 15 and saw an organized man preparing his state and federal returns for the post. He seemed to have it down to a science, with the stacks of tax forms, special-delivery envelopes and hand-written address labels all neatly lined up on the counter.
