Post box
Today I posted a letter. Well, a DVD.
The trick is to remember to bring it to work, remember to leave the office at least once in the day, and remember to bring the letter with you :)
When I got to the postbox, I was puzzled. "Next collection, 'TUE'"? I said? But it's ALREADY Tuesday. Oh, wait, of course, it'll be collected at 5.30.
And that's how I learned, apparently I essentially always post letters at 2am, never before 5.30 PM :)
Post titles
On LJ, I find post titles most useful when I'm browsing lists of old posts looking for something (something specific, or something interesting). I find it doesn't matter much if the title encompasses the whole post, but it's very, very helpful if it's something vaguely related to the subject, not either (a) a coy indirect reference that's clever when you write it, but completely opaque out of context or (b) blank. Even a header like "life" or "stuff today" or "random hacking" is more useful in categorising posts quickly than putting nothing at all (or using the same title for everything).
