Fandom Post Office, August 13 (Tuesday)
Usually, Éponine didn't mind fielding questions and complaints from customers; she wasn't in the office for long enough every day to have to do it all the time, so it was more of an interesting diversion for her than it was a frequent annoyance.
Usually.
She would have to make an exception for today: a woman had come in wanting to mail a package, but the post office computer refused to accept "The Corner of Ouroboros Road" as a valid street address. The woman insisted that it was perfectly valid in the destination dimension. The computer kept disagreeing. Éponine kept trying to convince it otherwise, first through typological trickery then, when that failed, by flat-out attempting to talk it into complying.
Eventually, she figured out how to get the address to go through, but they went around in circles like this for a while.
