My job has more plusses than minuses, so unless I hit the lottery

, I imagine I'll be here until they carry me out. But today, today has been bad!
I work in a small office. I usually do 6 hours face time, 4 days a week, then visit clients or am on 24-hour call. Our office is surrounded by other small businesses, which is cool - we literally set an alarm clock for the meter, since we know exactly when he comes around! That's the background.
We usually have mail to go out - both business & personal, and sometimes the mailman will take it with him. About four weeks ago, I had a lot of birthday & other cards, plus bills going out, but the mailman grabbed them before I could say that I'll take them to the post office. NOTHING from that pile has arrived!! No cards, no bill payments, no anything! Same thing for the business mail that went out that day - zip. So, I have spent most of this morning, calling Blue Cross, utilities, insurance, etc and paying them with the dreaded credit card. This really has me mad, because I knew that there was a lot of mail that day, and I had planned to go to the Post Office anyhow - and this mailman hates when any of us have a dog here - even tiny little Buffy the Wonder Dog. I'm mad at myself for not taking the mail off of him, mad that I had to use a credit card for bills, and mad at what could have happened to this mail. Grrrrrrr!!!!!
