veteran’s day

I was expecting a couple of packages today, so I went to the Post Office to clean out my box. I totally forgot it was a holiday until I walked into the lobby and all the customer service windows were closed – but I was stoked that they had at least left the lobby doors unlocked. As I was digging through my mail I heard a voice come from behind the wall of PO Boxes in front of me, “If you have any slips bring them around to the window and I’ll get your packages.”

How cool is that? The guy totally hooked me up with my packages on a holiday even though he didn’t have to (and I didn’t ask) Plus he was super friendly about it. He was laughing and telling me that another guy came in this morning and was complaining because he couldn’t get his passport processed. And he continued “And I know where that guy works – he got the holiday off, so he should’ve known. I don’t mind helping people, but c’mon.”

I love my Post Office.
