When : Always February 4th

Thank a Mailman Day is your chance to say thanks to the guy, or gal, who delivers your mail. After all, they are there six days a week. The reliable postal worker is always there doing their job, regardless of the weather. They are a hardy lot. You'll find some mail carriers on walking routes, wearing shorts in all but the coldest of winter days.

Did you Know? Pony Express riders were the most famous early American "mailmen". Their motto was " Neither rain, nor snow, nor death of the night, can keep us from our duty". This motto is believed to be taken in part from a motto dating back to ancient times. Among the most popular variation is "Through rain or snow, or sleet or hail, we'll carry the mail. We will not fail".

Make it a point to catch your mail carrier enroute today. Give him or her a great big smile and a great big "TY".  If you happen to visit your local post office, give them a thank you, too.

Ass Gaskets...Do you know what they are?

I don't know if they have these in the men's room, but they are the little paper toilet seat covers in public restrooms.

This morning I went in to the bathroom at work, pulled out an ass gasket and did my business.  When I stood up to flush, I noticed that the paper had some static electricity and was sticking to my behind.  I reached back to remove it, and it stuck to my hand.  I literally had to spend 5 minutes trying to get a clingy piece of paper off my ass.  By the time I finally got it off I was laughing so hard that people were staring when I came out.

Ahhh, sometimes it's just the little things.....

My friends at work are having a surprise baby shower for me.  I know about the party, just not when or where it will be.

I HATE SURPRISE PARTIES

Now, when I say that, for some reason people just think  that I prefer not to have have them, or that I'm just saying it to be difficult.  That is not the case with me.  I have an irrational dislike for them...so much so that If I knew when it was, I wouldn't go.

Here it is, 2am in the morning and I'm up because I've had 3 nightmares involving surprise parties and now I can't sleep.  Yes, I know it sounds crazy...it is (hey, everyone's got weird quirks), I just embrace mine and move on.

The people throwing this shindig know that I don't like surprise parties...and yet they're having it anyway.  I don't understand this.  Why on earth would you throw someone a party, but do it in a way they don't like?  To me, it's like inviting a vegetarian friend over for dinner...and then putting pork chops on the menu.  It makes me think that the party isn't for me at all, but for the people throwing it...does that make sense?
