Today was probably one of the most productive days I have had in a long time. It started off early at about 8AM. I rose like normal, sucked down some cereal while my cat stared me down, and proceeded to dress myself for success for my interview at 11.
Went to the interview and completely ACED it. I was told that I will be hearing from the VP of the company on Monday to see whether or not I got the job as branch manager for the Albany area (we deal with exterior residential painting). Basically, if all goes well, I will be in charge of my own painting company for the summer, so I am pretty excited.
I then ate lunch and proceeded to my current job where I muffed around for something to do. I then came up with a somewhat brilliant idea:
Take one of the largest shipping boxes that we have, and put something ridiculously small inside of it, and mail it to somebody. :lmao
Here’s a picture of the box next to my desk so you can get an idea of just how big the thing really is:
So what I did was I wrote up a formal letter basically saying nothing and put it inside of the box as seen below:
A simple letter wasn’t enough in my mind, so I came up with something creative to represent a packing list and slapped that on my shipment as well:
Around this time my boss got out of his meeting, so I threw the box into the freight elevator at the end of my hallway and carted the thing down to shipping/receiving. I used a heavy duty pull cart so people thought that I had something heavy inside of the box. :lmao
Now you see, the funny thing about this is where the package is going. I sent it to my friend who lives on campus at Siena. If any of you have ever been to the post office there, you would know that the post office is TINY. Picture a 12x24 room as the post office itself, a TINY hallway leading to the reception desk that can barely fit 2 people across, and then thousands of mailboxes on the other side of the hallway.
So, this poor girl is going to get the slip of paper in her SPOB box saying she has a package, and then will be handed this HUGE box in exchange. The post office is in the student union, so it is constantly packed with students. :rofl
Just imagine this poor girl opening this HUGE box only to find one slip of paper inside. I can only imagine how she is going to feel when she gets this tomorrow. And due to the shear size of it, she won’t be able to just shrug it off and throw it in the garbage can, either.
