(A little open letter to a friend)
You would have laughed to see me rushing to make the last mail pick up tonight. I had 3 packets prepped and decided that the other 5 orders that were oh-so-close needed to be gone, too. And you know, batch processing, when it comes to packing and shipping actually is more efficient and therefore, faster.
But wow I cut it close. So I missed the 5 p.m. mail box pick-up down on the town square by 7 minutes and was headed across town to the post office proper. And there, pulled over on the side of the road was an unsuspecting mail car. So I illegally pulled into a one-way the wrong way, parked, and went running over there, all disheveled with my pink bag full of plump yellow envelopes.
I knocked on his window and his look was surprised and then kind...I asked pretty please if he'd add my batch to his vehicle and he obliged, just like that. I told him he could keep the pink bag if he liked. He gave it back. Then human nature kicked in. "What are you mailing here?" When I answered art, "Art for Christmas presents," he seemed pleased to be helpful and that made my night.
And I didn't even get a parking ticket because I got out of there quick, and am back home. If all goes right, I'll finish the last 4 orders here, and will only have one last biggy tomorrow--and then I'm caught up. Wowzer!
.....ooops, never mind, my text notice just went off...a new order just came in....
A day in the life.....
Hope your day's going half as good as mine, lol! K
