STOCK MARKET WATCH - Wednesday, 22 February 2012

[Fuddnik]

59. When my Dad was here at the independent living facility a couple of years ago.

It was like you said. They all gathered around at the regular time waiting for the mail. Then, one day it came three hours later. With the regular mailman.

He tried explaining that the Post Office changed his route, and there was nothing he could do about it. I thought there was going to be a riot.

Shit happens. I still have the same mailman I've had for 9 years. You could set your watch by him. Mail at 10:15 every day. Then they changed his route. Now, he comes at 3:00 pm.

It's no wonder they "go postal". A bunch of letter carriers used to come into our bar in Cleveland, and they'd spend half their time complaining about "clipboards" following them around, monitering and recording every step they made, in an effort to speed them up.
