WELL, ITS MY FIRST DAY BACK TO THE PO AND STUPID ME.... I DID IT AGAIN. I TOOK A VACATION THE WEEK BEFORE A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. ITS THE DAY AFTER LABOR DAY AND I COME BACK TO WORK. I SAID BEFORE THAT I WOULDNT DO THAT BUT WHOOPS... I DID IT AGAIN. LOL. ANYWAYS, I DID KINDA LUCK OUT AND I HAD MY SHORT ROTUE TODAY. WE DIDNT HAVE ALL MIAL CALLED UP UNTIL 1:45PM.  FORUTNALLY US CITY CARRIERS WERE ALLOWED TO LEAVE AT 11 THIS MORNING TO START DELIVERING OUR ROTUES SO I WAS STILL ABLE TO GET MY ROTUE DONE IN 8. I CAME BACK AT 1PM AND HAD 1/2 MY ROTUE DELIVERED AND STILL HAD TO WAIT 45MINS FOR THE CLERKS TO GET THE MAIL UP. I KNOW THAT IT WASNT THEIR FAULT BY ANYMEANS ... FOR INSTANCE, ... 1. WE ONLY HAD 3 CLERKS FOR ABOUT 50 TO 60 ROTUES ... 2. THEY BROUGHT US CARRIERS IN EARLY AND NOT THE CLERKS..  ..  3. MAIL CAME IN LATE ... AND 4. THE OBVIOUS ... HOLIDAY MAIL.  OH WELL, I GOT IT DONE. AT LEAST I'M OFF TOMARROW THEN I GET TO COME BACK TO WORK JUST IN TIME FOR HURRICAND HANNA TO HIT. LUCKY ME. IF IT DOES COME UP TO RALEIGH, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST HURRICANE TO DELIVER MAIL IN ... CARRIE, YOULL HAVE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE IF YOU HAVE. LOL.

WELL OTHER THAN THAT, MY VACATION WAS GOOD.  I DIDNT DO MUCH BUT THAT WAS OK. AT LEAST I GOT TO GO OUT ON THE BEACH AND GO FISHING AND SOME SHOPPING. UNFORTUNALLY FOR MY I HAD POOR PLANING WITH OUR MONEY SITUATION AND WE DIDNT HAVE MUCH TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THE FUN THINGS AS I USUALLY GET TO DO BUT HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR I WILL BETTER PLAN OUT MY FINANCES. WHAT KILLED ME THOUGH IS ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE WE LEFT, OUT AC WENT UP AND WE HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW UNIT. I THINK THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR BEACH MONEY. HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WONT HAPPEN 2 WEEKS BEFORE WE GO. LOL. WELL HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND TALK TO YOU SOON.
