Boy was yesterday fun. My local post office has ONE employee. ONE. In fact, since there’s nobody else to cover for him, he simply locks the door at 12:00 and leaves for lunch with a hand written note on the door:
“One employee. This office will be closed for lunch from 12-1 daily.”
65 minutes after getting in line, I finally shipped out the last small fantasy prizes.
And some people want the government to provide us health care? Don’t get me started. I can see it now.
“This emergency room has one doctor. He’ll be out to lunch daily from 12-1 and on the golf course Tuesdays and Thursdays…”
I wasn’t done though. I had two large items to ship at FedEx. All said and done I spent close to two hours shipping.
DONE – Looking to 2011 now
All prizes which were claimed have been shipped and it is now officially too late to claim a fantasy prize for 2010. Unclaimed prizes will be added to next year or put into the HOG/Space prize pool for other site giveaways.
No problems. I should have checked sooner/more often. Didn’t even realize there would be prizes for more that 1st place. Signed, “Shankopotomus” 3rd place.
SOrry about that tj7644. I posted a few warnings and even extended the date a bit.
As it turns out, the company supplying the putter ended up not providing the prize. The guy who I arranged it with left the company, and they wouldn’t respond to me. I ended up giving the 2nd place guy the 3rd place prize as a substitute since there was no response from you…
No problem, I had changed jobs/computer etc… and didn’t check back after the golf season was over. It’s my fault. Maybe in the future, you could pop an email message to the yearly winners instead of waiting to see if they get to the blog… Just a thought. Happy Holidays.
