I'm going for a bit of work related fun this week.
Thirteen things that I've learned while working for the post office
1. People who drink share their tales of woe with their bartenders. Teatotalers share them with the mail carrier.
2. Murphy's Law Of Parcels: The size of parcels to be delivered on any given day will be directly proportional to the amount of rain (or snow) that is falling!
3. The words "current resident" are the two most difficult words to understand in the English language.
4. Even the most intelligent people in the world will become morons when asked to fill out postal forms.
5. A time machine is necessary equipment for the delivery of mail! I can no longer count the number of times that I've received forwarding orders requesting that I begin forwarding mail days or even months before the order was filed.
6. Most people seem to think that the 39ยข that they pay to mail the average card or letter gives them full ownership of their mail carrier!
7. There is no magazine, newspaper, check, etc. that ALWAYS comes on a particular day of the month.
8. Mail carriers are expected to be able to give directions to anything within a 100 mile radius of their routes!
9. No matter how unusual the name, there will be two of the living in the same city. They will hate each other with a passion. Their friends will not know their address...
10. Mailboxes make great homes for critters such as wasps, spiders, birds, and even mice!
11. The way to a mail carrier's heart is through his or her stomach!
12. There is often a difference between a person's physical address and his mailing address.
13. If you need someone to blame for your mistakes, postal workers are an excellent choice!
Now don't you all want to go out and get jobs with the U. S. P. S.?
