Yep...here a shoe, there a shoe, everywhere a shoe shoe. I'm surprised his Elmo or Cookie Monster shoes weren't on the floor.
ALL PACKAGES are OUT!!! Most say will be delivered on Wednesday, maybe Thursday. Please let me know when you get them.
Got some sad news at the post office. The post office I use is our "airport" location. They are open 7 days a week and used to be 24 hours. Now they are 8am-10pm. That being said, they used to have a staff of 29 when they were 24 hours. As the hours cut, so did the employees. Now they have a total of 9 employees at this location. Found out today that they are losing 5-6 of them here in the next few weeks and are going down to 3, until they can hire more. Everyone is already on overtime and exhausted, but goint 12 hour days, 7 days a week until they can restaff is nuts!!! They are already talking about shutting on Sundays, so we will see what happens. Hoping they don't close, they are the largest and fastest post office in my area. I took a ton of packages this morning and was done in less than 30 minutes. They were happy about the $120+ bill and they got a lot of $1's and $5's and were THRILLED!!! They always need the smaller bills and because of y'all they are able to keep going every month in the black. I hope that doesn't change next year when I go to 4 swaps instead of 11.

GLad to be of service 
Seems odd that a PO doing so well is cut back - oh the world of economics
Hope they can make it through the holidays coming up. Prayers for perseverance.
Thank you to all the clerks and sorters and mail people in general
