Day 75

Happy 1: The flip books are done forever! I went to the Post Office which was actually open today. The teller wasn't very friendly, but I think I won her over with my cheery disposition. Went back to work, printed labels using the postage meter, stuck the postage stickers on the boxes, took the boxes to the drop-off spot on the first floor of the office building. Done. Forever. At least for me. Apparently they do this much work every quarter. Glad I won't be here for the next time around.

Happy 2: Funny story. So, it's my niece's first birthday today. (Happy Birthday, Baby G!) Pretty big deal. I sent her a present in the mail but I wanted to send her an email message too. I composed this cutsie note and was pleased with my wittiness. I typed my brother's name in the address bar and clicked send. By the grace of God I checked my sent folder to make sure it went through. Much to my surprise, instead of going to my brother it went to a NWC student with the same first name. Needless to say, I was horrified. I immediately emailed the guy and apologized. To be fair, I told him he could pretend it was his birthday too, if he wanted. Later in the day he emailed back: "Hahahahaha! I hope you are laughing at yourself cuz you made me laugh. Thanks!"

Crappy: After a month of inactivity, I got to write an article for the weekly financial market update. I wrote the economics section, which is my favorite. In the past the editor has made very minor adjustments. However, I was a little rusty and there were a few items that needed rewording or further clarification. She's super nice so it didn't hurt my pride too much. This just goes to show I need some more practice.
