i finally renewed my passport! yay! and it took just a little under 3 hours and cost me a little bit more than $180. yes... renewing passport is quite costly. especially if you need to expedite it. so the breakdown:
Renewal fee: $67
Expedite fee: $60
Money order: $0.95
Express mail to the Passport Agency (which is in LA): $14.40
Express mail to me (also in LA): $14.40
USPS Passport Fee: $30
and... the USPS Passport Fee is basically a postal employee putting your application, old passport, and pictures (which are all organized) together with a paperclip. Oh... and they staple one of your pictures on your application too. wOw.....

hey now, staplers are very delicate... if you do not press the instrument just right, the staple gets all tweaked... those USPS workers go through numerous hours of training -- where they drink coffee, eat donuts, and look at Powerpoint presentations -- to learn the proper, most ergonomic methods for attaching items of paperwork to other items of paperwork... you should be glad that your tax money is going to such noble and necessary training for our government workers, the last thing we need is a bunch of USPS workers claim workman's compensation for stapling-related injuries...
