It's all in how you look at it. United States Post Office version. Another example of the unusual way in which messages are delivered. [Ok, I know it's not exactly news that the post office might deliver a message, but this one's different!]
My mom's birthday was last week and, in an effort to wish her the best, I sent her a gift. So I thought.
See, by the time I got to the post office on the Saturday before, the customer service area was closed. Now I'm pretty resourceful when it comes to this sort of thing, so I weighed the package, affixed the required postage, and stuck it in the bin.
End of story. So I thought.
That is until Monday, 2 days later, when I heard an unexpected truck in the drive. It was the postal carrier who delivers my route. Bringing the box back.
Seems I must have missed out on the new post office policy that says you have to hand a stamped package directly to a human person and not put it in the bin. (Why didn't they post a sign?)
Well, of course I didn't want mom's gift to be late, so I jumped right in the car and went back to the post office, a little miffed about the project that now wasn't getting done.
When I arrived with my small box, I reached the door slightly ahead of another person whose hands were full. So, of course, I held the door. We ended up next to one another in line and, since there was a bit of a wait, began chatting pleasantly back and forth.
Turns out she just happens to be experienced in an aspect of Internet marketing that I know very little about ... and that could be helpful in taking the next step with my business.
Hmmm. All of a sudden, the inconvenience of that extra trip to the post office dipped into the background as I stopped to consider what my line-mate was saying.
Wow, I thought. This is turning out to be a good deal after all!
It was a simple reminder that good news sometimes arrives through an unlikely messenger - like the lady next to you in line at the post office.
