Let's just say this week has been a really rough week. One of the roughest in a while. Today I just about reached my snapping point at work. But that's another story. ;) So all day I kept thinking about how there would most likely be a little package comming to my house today via USPS. But it was insured so I had to be there to sign for it.

I left work right when I was off. The L.A. traffic was pretty bad today. Then I hit two trains on the way home. And after the second one passed the crossing guard arms stayed down for a full 10 freakin' minutes. No train in sight. People were honking and yelling at... the crossing guard arms I guess. :p

Finally I get to the house and am hoping that I beat the mail lady. I looked into our mail box hoping to find it empty but it's jammed full of mail. And we all know what was in there. One of those "Sorry we missed you" messages that causes every Hog/Piglet that sinking feeling deep in the pit of their stomaches. I started to go into the house then it happened. I snapped. Not in a hostile way but in a "I'm getting my knife and I'm getting it now" kind of way.

So I hop into my truck and catch a mail man a few streets down. He tells me that the lady that delivers my mail should be a few streets down. So I spend about 5 minutes creeping in and out of residential streets until I spot her. I park right behind her truck and when she returns to her truck I get out with a big smile (she's a nice lady) and my delivery slip in hand. She sees it, gets my package, I sign for it, and the chicken is in the coop.

That's right baby. The BATAC is in the house. :D:thumbup::D

So for all you who have ever rushed home with the anticipation only INFI can bring only to find a "Sorry we missed you.." slip. This one is for you. For us. One for the little guys. Victory is ours. ;)

Now excuse me while I go inspect the little sucker.

(Thanks again deusker ;) )
 
Good story. Glad she didn't go postal on you thinking you were a INFI mad man. You know how we can get!
 
She knows me so when she saw it was me she wasn't concerned. But I know what you mean about the "INFI mad man" syndrom!
 
will you post a pick of it next to your NO-E, I'd like to see how similiar they are in size. thanks
 
I had that exact thing happen today. My idiot mail carrier is too damned lazy to get out of his truck and see if anyone is home (we were). So when I got tired of waiting for the doorbell to ring, I went out to see if I could see him and found the slip instead.

Fortunately, the guys at the main PO know and like me. That is why they were willing to go get it off the truck for me when I showed up and begged.

What did I get? That will be for another thread....

Good Hog Karma....

Good for you man, thanks for standing up and saying NO! to not only the "sorry we missed you" card, but the abuse we take from the world that gets intolerable for us all at some point, the world that tries to get between a hog and his INFI. You sir, are an inspiration to hogs everywhere!:D

Cool story, thanks.
 
Hey.....Give the post office a break.......


wait they changed Stamps......


.........LOVE THEM OR THEY WILL GO POSTAL
 
My postalperson walks right up to the door and goes, "Here, ya' got another package from Ohio/Idaho...."

:D

Congrats on the Badger, TL! :thumbup:
 
Heh-heh, my main courier knows my vehicle, LOL, and will stop and wait for me, 'cause she knows why!!! I want my INFI fix. (Heck yeah!) :thumbup: Cool, brother... I hope it turned your day around and everything for you is now lookin' UP! NUKE on!!! :D

You bet. Give me about 1/2 an hour and I will have a pic up. :)

It looks like we all can relate one way or another. I will say that USPS has been pretty good in getting my packages to me. My mail currior usually rattles the gate inspite of the abuse my two ratty dogs give her.

Thanks for the comments guys. :)

Note: The sheath is the factory sheath for the NO-E. A little long but fits securely. Until I get a custom.
