One person calls in sick, and we're all in for it. Everything got flipped sideways and upside down and I ended up delivering mail to my 9am'ers at 6pm. It caused mass confusion for people and dogs alike. Do I try to bite her in the early evening? And the people must have felt sorry for me because they sure were nice to me. But work is over now and I have once again heeded the advice of a fellow co-worker: "DON'T DIE...or they'll fire you." So far, so good.
So today I went to a whole lot of new places. New people, new mailboxes. There were at least three houses that I stood outside of, looking dumbfounded, unable to find the mailbox. One ended up being right behind me and the owner just couldn't help but laugh when I asked where he keeps his mailbox. At another residence, I was admiring a large dog statue (you have no idea how many statues I've nearly sprayed...they sure do sneak up on me). This particular statue was HUGE and I kept thinking to myself that I've never, in real life, seen a dog quite THAT big. Just then, the statue turned its head, looked right into my eyes and in a flash, jumped off of the porch and came charging at me, barking and growling. I had just enough time to run backwards and he had only so much chain before he was run-choked. Later in the day, another very large dog actually took the mail right out of my hand and brought it to his person. I can't even get my husband to do that!!!
And now, since I've already eaten, I shall drink and be merry!
