Mr Postman

Sorry for the delay...evidently I don't love my mac enough to blog on it.

Anyway...here's a story to get me back into it. Yesterday I made an attempt at sorting a pile of letters and bills that have gathered on my dining room table in the past month or two. It was a mammoth effort and I got into the flow of opening letter after letter and quickly redistributing paper either into one of my bill piles or the bin.

Well, it turns out that one letter wasn't addressed to me - although I didn't find that out until I had opened it. This letter had been sitting on my table for a month and a half. Upon opening it I found a cheque for £1,500! Yikes! You know the scariest thing - the first thing that went through my head was to ask myself if I could change the name to look like M.LEEDER! Well, after quickly giving myself a mental slap I realised that this was unethical and just wrong!

So today I took it down the road to the correct address (which was, btw, on the envelope, the postman got it wrong, I must have sticky post I guess!) They were alright about it - although my story sounded unconvincing to even me (and I know it's true!) I felt well dodgy. The moral of the story - always check who your post is for before you open it.
