Truth is stranger than fiction

I was sending a fax across the hall from my office and I heard one co-worker tell another female that the post office delivery guy still had not taken the envelope package that she had left out. I looked across the hall and said out loud, "They won't take that." Then I heard the second-female co-worker say, "Why?" That's when I said, "Because the outside of the package says DHL and that's a completely different delivery service separate from the post office. You'll have to contact DHL directly." Can you say DUH!

Just think, shortly thereafter I got to sing Happy Belated Birthday to another co-worker. They now use something called a "Birthday Box" here to seek contritubtions from staff for these birthday related festivities. A decorated cardboard box with a slot for donations to purchase cake, balloons, flowers, etc. I have made a conscious choice NOT to contribute to this.. As a result I have "kindly" asked the organizer of this brilliant "Birthday Box" idea, to NOT do anything for my birthday this year. Mind you, this place used to actually fund lunch for all staff on each birthday, along with the purchase of a cake/pie which was a nice "perk", that has since been done away with.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the brainchild behind the brilliant "Birthday Box" pheonomena, also happens to be the same individual that put the DHL package out for the post office to pick up..
