Monday's Mail

I received a large package in the mail. It was a white brick with big black letters on it.

FIRE ME .

I was perplexed. I wasn’t anyone’s boss. I checked the address again to be sure it was indeed addressed to me. It was. It would seem someone wants me to fire them.

The return address was a PO Box. Should send a letter back firing the author of the brick?

Pondering this very strange situation, I decide that I was very glad they hadn’t hand delivered the parcel through my window.

Who ever sent this was ether confused or trying to confuse me. If they’d sent this to me by mistake I couldn’t fire them, and if they were trying to confuse me they were doing a great job, and thus I couldn’t fire them.

I’m just glad they didn’t ask for a raise.
