SURVIVING AS A POSTAL SERVICE EMPLOYEE
OR
HOW TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY
- At lunch time, sit in your parked car w/sunglasses on and
point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
- Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
- Insist that your e mail address is: Xena-Warrior-
Princess@postalservice.com Elvis-the-King@postalservice.com.
- Every time your supervisor tells you to do something, ask if they
want fries with that.
- Encourage your co-workers to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing.
- Put your garbage can on your desk/case and label it "IN."
- Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.
- Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once
everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions,
switch to espresso.
- In the memo field of all your checks, write
'for sexual favors.'
- Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think."
- Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."
- Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level
lights up the entire work area. Insist to others that you
like it that way.
- Dont use any punctuation
- As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
- Ask co-workers what sex they are. Laugh hysterically
after they answer.
- Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."
- Sing along at the opera.
- Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
- Find out where your supervisor/postmaster shops and buy exactly the
same outfits. Wear them one day after your supervisor/postmaster does.
(This is especially effective if your boss is of the
opposite gender.)
- Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them
what you're doing. For example, "If anyone needs me,
I'll be in the bathroom, in Stall #3."
- Put mosquito netting around your desk/case. Play a tape
of jungle sounds all day.
- Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend
the party because you're not in the mood.
- Call 911 and ask if 911 is for emergencies.
- Call the psychic hotline and don't say anything.
- Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling
name, Rock Hard.
- When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won!",
"I Won!" "3rd time this week!!!"
- When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking
lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"
- Tell your supervisor/postmaster, "It's not the voices in my head that
bother me, its the voices in your head that do."
- Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy,
we are going to have to let one of you go."
- Every time you see a broom, yell "Honey, your mother is here!"
