POSTCARD 28!!

BACK!!

Again from the set that I was sent from family friends! I think there are a few more and then I will upload newer stuff - I just won't until I finish my selling training but I can't get into it just yet.

POSTCARD 26!

BACK!

FRONT!

This was the first of a bunch of cards that I received from a family that are friends with my family. They sent me postcards from across the US! Going to post them all up - the front's are public images from whoever made them so they won't have Alex's face on them. =)

Oh Happy Day~!

That can be taken two different ways and I have to tell you that I mean it in both ways: Good and Bad.

How about the good first, generally that's what people choose isn't it?
Good news is, if I didn't already mention it, that I sent out lots of new blank cards AND even better news is that I have received almost 15 of those back!! Which is huge numbers!! I mean... 15 in a few days is huge!!

Yup! People Rock When You Ask DESPERATELY!

As for the bad news - I suppose it isn't as bad as it seems but I feel compelled to share anyways

I went to the mailbox today, and surprise there was a bunch of letters for Mrs. Batke - in case you don't know the story of Batke I'll reiterate it quickly.

• When I first started this project I rented a mailbox for 6 months and quickly found out that the lady who had the mailbox before me did not forward any of her mail.
  
• Needless to say for the last two years I have written NATA (Not at this address) and RTS on every single piece of her mail that has come to me.
  
• Took some time but eventually I noticed that she is a real estate agent so I took a number off her sign and phoned her to give her a piece of my mind.
• Not really - I phoned her because her income tax started coming to me and I didn't want to responsible for that sort of thing. So I left her a message saying I have had her old mailbox for forever and yet I am still getting her mail but more importantly I was receiving her government cheques

Just like Bill Nye: NOW YOU KNOW!!

So today I am at the mailbox picking up more postcards and I am so stoked - they weren't file din my mailbox yet so I was quiet happy when the one lady recognized me and told me that they had some more stuff for me. She quickly pulled it all out and asked the other lady to sort it all out at the till (I have to sign for somethings).

This second lady says "Hold on, I don't think these are yours" and she holds up my postcards and starts reading them. And I said "What do you mean? Don't you remember? This is why I got the mail box in the first place." This particular lady is the one who sold me my mailbox, and tends to also recognize me. She looks at me surprised and says "Really, thats odd because [Batke] received these too." Which surprised me so I said to her "That's impossible, this is my design - I sent these out - they never had her name on them." And she says "Weird."

This is the same lady who I asked if there was anyway Batke still had a key because I was missing so many postcards!! People were telling me that they had sent stuff and I hadn't seen anything come in! So I told her "Well I am missing about 100 postcards, so if she was still checking the mailbox after it became mine that would make since why I still haven't received those."

So here's what I figure happened:

a) This Batke Woman had a key still and was throwing out my postcards or writing NATA and RTS and putting them back. This is a problem because postcards generally don't have a senders address on them so basically they were getting chucked.

b) The lady who set me up with my mail box in the first place saw Batke take these cards, then repeatedly had to listen to me complain about receiving Batke's stuff, and so trying to be nice when she saw these cards come in she just threw them out thinking she was helping me.

EITHER WAY IT SUCKS!!! I STILL HAVE (hold on going to look it up) *88* EFFING CARDS MISSING!! Somewhere! Lost!!

frustrating - FRUSTRATING!!!

Anyways [large font for affect]

Will post what I have after I make up for this work stuff that I missed because I was ill which is a long story - and I can't talk about most of it until everything is settled and/or my lawyer okays it.

Loves!!
