Food Drive Drivel

Today was the annual letter carriers' food drive.
It's usual a bummer day because people like to have the day off, and that creates more work for everyone else. Then add to that we have to collect the food, which is cool.
The boss gave me pieces of two other routes to do after mine (we call those pieces "bumps"). So I'm on the second bump, which is all curbside mailboxes.
This guy in a pickup pulls up next to me and says,"Look. I know you're the substitute but what I wanna know is where the hell have you been all day ? We usually get our mail before noon. Ands it's because of you that someone took the food we left outside for you guys this morning".
Well it was four o'clock and this guy is wagging his finger at me. I calmly explained that a volunteer had been around earlier to get the food, and that I had spent most of the day on my own route. Not good enough for him, oh no.
"I expect a check every Saturday. If I know you're not gonna be here by noon I could call over there and have my mail held so I could just pick it up and get to the bank...."

Hahahahaha. I hope we go to five day delivery really soon.

The first step......

to solving a problem is admitting you have it. So. I'm a loser.

Just writing that was kinda traumatic, so I'll see ya tomorrow. I need some rest for this.
