the biggest moment ever in slacking

I now know why I came back to Cincinnati and went back to working in the mailroom.

Today was a big day for slacking theorists everywhere.

Mark it down. January 31, 2005, 12:21 pm. My theory was proven.

Ever since I started working in the Dinsmore and Shohl mailroom back in 1999, I've been testing this theory that, if you wait around long enough, your mailcart will take itself around. During my nearly 22 months there, I was never successful in this endevor. There were a few times that I would leave the room and my mailcart would in fact fill itself. But never did the mail actually deliver itself.

Until today. I was assigned the cart for the 17th floor. During the morning run, I had to take my mail around. But, when the time came for the afteroon carts to go around, one of my coworkers said that she was going to start filling her cart. And, of course, I told her that if you wait long enough, it will take itself. I explained the theory basically the same as I did above here, and like many others she just kind of mocked me. So anyway, before she can start filling her cart, the two of us get assigned a quick run to the paper room. When we get back, we go to fill our carts. Well, I start looking in the mail slots for all of the people on the 17th floor, and there isn't any mail in any of them. I check the mailcart, and there is no mail there either.

There can only be one conclusion: my mailcart in fact took itself.

I can't tell you how rewarding it is for a theory that I have worked so long and hard on to finally come through. Today was truely a great day for lazy people everywhere!!!!
