Today at the post office....

Ok got to tell what happened at post office this morning.
too funny not to.

For those that dont know i am trying to find work so we can relocate to central arkansas and get away from this little dieing town we currently live in.
i went in this morning to mail a state employment application to a magnet school in Hot Springs.


did not have large legal envelope at home, so i put it in one of the document mailers they have at post office. the two guys ahead of me were both mailing in forms as well.

one had a packet going to the VA hospital in little rock. he was first. gets to window, (remember its Saturday) girl asks him how he wants it shipped, next day priority or regular, she then tells him the prices and delivery dates. Next day will get it to them in next delivery, for 14.05, priority will have it to them Monday for 4.04 and regular will be Tuesday for 3.00 ,

he looks at her like shes crazy,, and says well then i guess priority is the way to go. gives her 5 bucks, she takes his packet, lady behind me is giggling


next guy steps up. his is going to little rock as well. she gives him the same spiel, next delivery day 14.05 priority for Monday 4.04. etc. he asks her to repeat herself, obviously trying to get her to catch that she was promising the same day delivery for different prices
so he chooses priority and leaves. lady behind me is chuckling


i step up. you guessed it same spiel. three in a row, so i asked her if the post office was delivering mail on Sundays now, she replied yes if you pay for next day we can guarantee that it will be there the next day anyone is available to accept it. and she repeats the prices to me,

i choose priority too, and the lady behind us is laughing so loudly

she let another guy go ahead of her while she tried to compose herself. by this point the other teller has realized whats funny and is chuckling too.

My customers are always asking me if I repeat that spiel in my sleep.
I keep telling them that must be why I wake up with bruises, my DH is telling me to shut up!

Oh mine beat me to the punch ALL the time. They come in saying, No, It's not hazardous, etc, no it doesn't need anything special, and NO I don't need any stamps. They love to do it when my supervisor is there, too.
