Morning bloggies! I was thrown into disarray earlier this morning by the jobsworth postie-person ringing my doorbell a lot (at least 5 times in 10 seconds) before I was up and about. I leapt up like the house was on fire, threw on my dressing gown and went to the window and looked down. He said ‘You have to come down and sign for it, or I will put a card through and you’ll have to collect it from the delivery office’.
I see I have gained a reputation for alternative methods of delivery and he wasn’t about to stand for it! He looks like Louie Spence, but without any of the devil-may-care, camp stuff – and in a Post Office uniform. In fact, I find myself blaming Louie Spence himself.
I said ‘Can’t you… and indicated my car’. You see, I figured out a while ago that as my car is parked right in front of my house and has central locking, I can unlock it from upstairs and they can put the parcel inside and then I can lock it again. Nifty huh? A parcel drop point conveniently located and without me having to show my early morning self close-up to the postie. Most useful for when I’m in bed, or showering or simply ugly.
And he said ‘No, I can’t sign it for you, I’ll have to take it back’. I said I’d come down and did so. I blibbed downstairs, greeted the cat who (of course) felt I was there to feed her and when I wasn’t did her best to trip me at each step. I shut her away and then I reached the door and found – no keys. I’d left them upstairs. I opened the downstairs window and said ‘Sorry! I forgot the keys!’.
He held the signature tablet up towards my hand and asked me to squiggle there and I tried to turn it and he admonished me ‘I’m not allowed to let go of it’, which honestly seemed odd. I don’t recall having to share holding it at the front door with the Postie before, but anyway… I told him I just needed to turn it a little to sign. And then I did. And then finally he gave me the small parcel, ideally sized for simply shoving through my letterbox.
My squiggle was, obviously, unintelligible. They’d have a job proving it was me in a court of law. (Unless he told this whole story in which case there’d be many witnesses to its authenticity).
So my question to you is this… Is the adage ‘If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well’ a true thing? This guy is obviously sticking to the letter of his training, even when it’s inconvenient for him and for the customer. Even when he could have made a much nicer squiggle than me and popped it securely into my car? Even when he could have simply pushed it through the door and squiggled?
I don’t know, is my answer. I know I messed it up, that much is true. I think I’m definitely not cut out for life as a Postie or maybe even as a recipient.

And the hair helped a lot! The hair, from Lamb, was one of these ‘like, share and comment’ competitions on Facebook which I haven’t done much of but then I won two recently – and this was one. The fatpack of the ‘Baddie’ hair now on sale at Collabor88. It’s gorgeous and I’d like to say a big thanks to Lamb Bellic for being super awesome. I’d have bought it anyway! It’s very me.
