Fun with work

Update 12/28/06
I haven't been able to come up with any new or witty responses to the mundane questions I get every day from my customers, but I do have some funny/strange stories/respones I have received.
I delivered a check to a lady who lives off of South School. I have been to her house before and her packages always require a signature. I never looked at the package to see who they were from or tried to figure out why they would require a signature other than the sender paid for it.
So I drive down her steep driveway only to see an empty driveway. I was a little frustrated because I knew I would be coming back the next day to re-attempt her package. I start putting the not available scans on her on package and applying the proper stickers, etc...As I am doing this I hear/see a truck pull into the driveway. The truck parks on the other side of my work truck and I hear the door slam! The lady is jogging toward me yelling, "Don't leave! Don't leave! You have my check. Don't leave!" I guess she didn't see that I wasn't in my truck when she pulled down her driveway. She said, "I felt like I needed to leave. I just felt a sense saying, 'Go home. Go home.' " So I left and came home as I could. I'm glad I did because you are here with my check." The lady opens her check and starts screaming "Yes! Yes! Yes!" and then she blurts out "My $13,000.00 check is her. I can pay off my Harley. You are a God! I feel like kissing you. I would kiss but I don't think you would want me to." I agreed that I didn't want her to kiss me, congratulated her on the check and left.

I deliver lots of paychecks to people and this one girl who works off of Cato Springs always tells me that I am her favorite guy every other Thursday. I smile and say thanks or you should inform my wife of how wonderful I am. Another girl who works at Million Air (Drake Field) always gets excited when I deliver their checks every other Thursday as well. She normally offers me a fountain drink and says, "Thanks buddy! See ya soon."

I just noticed that I deliver paychecks mainly to women. Why is that?

I'm still not loving my job at FedEx but I try to have fun as much as I can. Frequently people will ask me, "What did you bring me?" Sometimes I'll say, "I don't know, I didn't order it or
I brought you that million dollars you ordered." Last week I had the best response to one of my comments. I was on South School delivering an envelope to some people. The lady asked who it was for and I stated the name. She said that's my son, I'll sign for it. What is it? I said, "It's his wildest dreams!" The lady smiled at me and said, "No honey! His wildest dreams couldn't fit in that envelope. Having two women at once is my son's wildest dream. He wouldn't be able to handle it, but at least he would die with a smile on his face!" I never dreamnt I would receive a response like that.
