new route

I was assigned to RD #1 today. Here’s an aerial view. It’s a relatively new route for me, and I still get kind of confused in the first half.

I didn’t feel too well today. In fact, I felt bad enough that I bought a bottle of Pepto Bismol at 7-11 on the way to the PO this morning and worked my way almost all the way through it during the course of the day. Considering how I felt, I wasn’t too surprised to see a note from the supervisor at the mail case when I got back. Apparently I misdelivered some woman’s mail (actually, what I did was deliver someone else’s mail to her box). I’m not sure how it happened since she has her last name written on the inside of her mailbox lid. Oops.

She called the post office saying that she brought the mail over to her neighbor’s box, correcting my mistake, but now wanted to know where her mail was. The supervisor said he would call her back, but I told him I would do it. When I called, I got an answering machine so I left a message apologizing for the misdelivery and telling her that she didn’t have any mail today, which is probably why I screwed up. That, plus I’m not all that bright to begin with.

So when’s the last time you got a personal call from your mail carrier regarding your service?

If the cookies are ginger snaps, they do. I’m eating some right now and loving each bite.

Ah, ginger snaps. My favorite are Stauffer’s in the brown plastic bag that’s made to look like it’s paper. You can order them online!

Think I’ll have another… gotta go!
