Fandom Post Office, December 4 (Tuesday)
Éponine hadn't minded yesterday's egg nog in the slightest, so she wasn't expecting to have much of an issue with whatever holiday quirkiness the island saw fit to grace them with today.
That expectation lasted all of about ten minutes after she arrived at work, idly noting that the candy canes that seemed to have sprouted up in various spots behind the counter were a nice touch -- until she had to open a new pack of large mailing envelopes and went to get a box cutter.
Another 40 minutes of rummaging around everywhere, looking in every place she'd ever thought she remembered seeing a box cutter set down for so much as a second, and she had plenty of miniature candy canes and one still very taped-shut box of envelopes to show for it. Muttering some very colorful underworld curses in French, she got out her keys and went to work on the packing tape with that instead.
As for the candy canes, she stashed those all in a single drawer in the hopes that they'd be back to box cutters in the morning. It wouldn't do to have to order more of them just because customers decided to help themselves and eat them all before they went back to normal, would it now?
