I tend to get overextended this time of year and do try to get some help from my husband from time to time. I purchased some candy for his father and asked my husband to wrap it and mail it. He sort of agreed to do this, but the candy just sat there. I finally wrapped/addressed the package and asked that he post it. He did go to the post office but the lines were too long for him. His solution was to take a whole package of stamps out and glue them all over the box.
The next day, our condominim complex office called and said the postal worker would not take the item and it had to be metered. My husband put up a fuss and so yours truly took the package to a Pack and Ship. The clerk looked at the package and I explained that the multitudes of stamps was the work of my husband. It was his way of completing a distainful task. In examining the package, she started to laugh. She said, "This is in violation of Federal law because it looks like the work of a unibomber." The stamps plastered all over the box did look like the work of a crazed person. I managed to have the present metered and sent on its way. I hope his parents enjoy the effort! This has a been a week of complicated tasks gone wild.
