I should spend my time more productively than messing around with the Photoshop. I had fortune cookies on the brain because my good online friend Carrie wrote me about the possibilty of getting the winning lottery numbers through a fortune cookie. What would you do if you won the Powerball or your state lottery? Would you quit your job with the Postal Service.? Personally, I know I would in 5 seconds!! But, I don't think I would quit working altogether. I would work in a field where I truly LOVED my job even at lower pay or I would spend more time volunteering for the less fortunate. 

I haven't been online as much because it is summer and, well, because I am a postal clerk. I spend way too much time indoors. When the weather is nice, I would rather be outside and enjoying life. (There really is a life outside of the P.O.) Occasionally, I have been guilty of rarely visiting the postal-related websites because when I was reading the material I would think to myself "I've heard this stuff before - this is boring." Even after reading some of my own recent blogs on here, I have thought the same thing. But in the strangest places, you meet some interesting people.

Last night, I went on this site to check my inbox and then I was going to quietly slither away. But I received a message from a new member of our Postal Profile group who actually served in Iraq. We eventually sent several messages back and forth to each other. I cannot imagine what our veterans are going through in Iraq. From her point of view, most of her squadron was actually proud and happy to serve in Iraq even with danger of roadside bombs. Also, from her point of view, they want to FINISH the job that they began in Operation Iraqi Freedom. If you have recently visited this site, I am sure you have seen her pics on here. I believe that under those huge biceps lies a sweetheart.

I hope she is a blogger because she has some interesting stories to tell. I do not see her working as a Rural Carrier Associate for long as she seems to possess an intelligent mind and can speak four languages - Spanish, Arabic, Korean and Chinese. The Marine Corp trained her in that knowledge. She is looking for a job elsewhere while she is an RCA in Iowa. John Wayne grew up in Winterset, Iowa. Who knows? I hope you find that job you're looking for Jamie.

Before I go, I must show you the working script of that famous Chinese comedian, Yu Stin Ki Pu, who has four side-splitting jokes.

I know Joke number 2 referred to us as "stupid Americans", but joke number 4 had me rolling on the floor in laughter.
