Gishwhes 63 Posties!
Nov. 15th, 2012 09:12 amItem 63. Five uniformed postal workers hula hooping in front of a post office.
( pics or it didn't happen )
This one was much more difficult than I'd thought. The first problem was finding Hula hoops in October! The toy stores don't carry them, the dollar stores don't have them and when I called the local daycare, theirs had all broken during the summer, so they had none either.
They suggested I try the school, and lo and behold, the gym teacher said I could borrow five! Yay!
The Government built a new, giant post office near the airport in our city, so I thought, SIZE MATTERS and went there first. The place is locked down like Fort Knox! OMG. You can't even get IN without going through airport type security.
I gave them my spiel, and got a look like this. -.- "This is a government facility. We can't just pull people away from their desks when they're on the government payroll bla bla bla bla.
I told them I'd wait for break time. I asked them what would be a better time for me to come back, etc. NOTHING. No help at all.
So I went to my smaller post office where I tend to mail my PORN, and while i wouldn't call the two women there COOL, they get a kick out of my packages and stuff, so I thought maybe they'd be able to call a couple of buddies down or something. Nope. One of the women had retired, and they'd replaced him with a DOUCHE BAG. "Why would I do that?" Well, it's for charity! it will be fun! "What's in it for me?" *sigh*
The woman who still worked there suggested I try the larger post office downtown.
I did, and BINGO! They were great! Happy to do it! The really happy looking woman in the front called two guys down from upstairs and jokingly bullied them into doing it.
They restored my faith in humanity! I brought them coffee and donuts the next day for being so awesome.
