Work was fucking crazy. Someone told me that Easter isn't a big holiday, in regards to number of packages. Someone lied. Monday we got slammed, today we got slammed even harder. There were literally piles of packages up to my head. We could barely move around, there were so many fucking packages. I can't wait until Easter is over, because then ( Read more... )

Apparently the gods of Ithaca decided that the first week of April was a good time to give us more snow and freezing winds. Yeah. Thanks for that. Luckily as I was going up to work, Mike drove by and gave me a ride up the hill. So I still have all 10 fingers, 2 ears and my nose. Bob wasn't there for a while, and I thought he might have called in ( Read more... )

Today seemed a lot longer and busier than it really was. I suppose it's just because I was running around a bit. I did suceed in my quest to lend Bob the DVDs today. I was using the envelope sealing machine and I saw he was getting his lunch out of his locker, so I rushed over there and told him to wait a sec. He looked kinda confused but did, and ( Read more... )

I was sent up to the Union Post Office today, because two girls called in sick or something. So I get there at 10:00 and start scanning in packages and stuff. Usually Cindy comes by at some point to drop off or pick up faculty packages, but it wasn't Cindy today, it was Bob! So we said hi, asked how break was and he left. Then later as I was almost ( Read more... )

The tired does not stop. No, it does not stop. It just gets stronger. Luckily, I have found a way to battle it. Not defeat it, oh no...it is too powerful to be conquered. But I have found a way to control it. I have discovered...the nap. When the tired is at its worst, and almost has me in its clutches, I wait lie down and rest for a mere 30 ( Read more... )

Another 10 pages in the bag. I'm not sure about it all yet. I can't tell if the story is flowing, or if there is too much dialogue, or if anything works. I now realize why writing adaptations aren't as easy as they might seem. Hopefully once I get some feedback, it'll become clearer ( Read more... )

I got to learn how to ship UPS packages at work today! Now that I'm working 11-2 on Mondays and Fridays, my job is more geared towards UPS packages as opposed to mail stuff. So now I know how to scan in UPS packages, and ship out UPS packages that people bring to us to send. Wee! It's pretty fun. Learning new things in the mailroom excites me. Yeah ( Read more... )

I'm so happy. Julie and Karen realized that they scheduled too many people for the morning shifts MWF, and I heard them talking about it. So I offered to come in later, since I don't have class until 6:50 on Mondays, and not at all on Fridays. So now I'll still be 9-12 on Wednesdays, but Mondays and Fridays I'll go in from 11-2! Woohoo! That's an ( Read more... )

The other night I got hit on by a big black guy at the TCAT stop in the commons. It was just a tad creepy, but mostly amusing. We were waiting for buses and he asked how I was and I said fine, and asked him the same. Then he asked me 4 or 5 questions rapid fire. I think they were:

"Are you in school ( Read more... )

Work went by pretty fast today. I think it had to do with the fact that I wasn't in the mailcenter all day. I love working in the mailcenter, but when I'm there for almost 8 hours straight, it goes pretty slow. But today I was in the East Tower sorting mail, and the went down to the Post Office to help out there a bit before going back to the ( Read more... )
