A week of compliments?
Dec. 4th, 2010 03:12 pmI don't know why I keep doing this. I guess I should learn to start saying "no" more often...
On Tuesday my supervisor at the newspaper asked if I could substitute on another route, and, forgetting that even two routes is a bit much for me right now, I said yes.
It's a 120-paper route, which is a little large, and it's also a little more distant than I should accept next time, so I've been getting kind of tired after just the firs two routes, causing me to delay longer than I should between the second and third routes.
Anyway, I'd noticed that the paperwork I'd been sent on the route had mentioned a start date, but no end date, so I sent my supervisor a note about it, asking if it was intentional and reminding her that I'd agreed to a week, though if needed I could handle it up to next Wednesday (at the time, December 8th).
She replied saying that I was "the best", so I can only assume I'll be doing the extra route come Wednesday.
The second compliment was when I delivering the second route this past Wednesday.
I'd been told that one house had been having problems getting any paper carriers to put the paper in the paper rack under the mailbox, so when I came along they really appreciated it.
Enough so that they gave me a ten dollar tip.
This was enough for me to go see a pantomime at the local arts centre called Snow White and the Vertically-Challenged Excavators
(more on this later)
As I was getting autographs in the lobby afterwards, two or three people tried to get mine, even though I wasn't in the show!
I asked one of the actors if they thought I was dressed up enough to have been in it, and he agreed.
So, maybe I should try out for next year's panto?
