Fandom Post Office, December 11 (Tuesday)
It was the thick of the holiday season now, and impossible for Éponine to forget about, really — the stanchion ropes for the lobby lines had turned into strings of lights sometime last week, for example, and she was resigned to them staying that way for a while.
It didn’t much help that every other customer today, it seemed, came in with some ridiculous demand for shipping that was just not going to be possible and kept insisting that an exception ought to be made just for them.
“I can’t do that,” she might tell them. “Not for the rate you’re paying. The turtles just don’t go that fast, see, and you’re not so special I’d let you get the fancy spaceship rate at that price.”
Invariably, they’d get mad when informed they weren’t that special, but most of the time the snowflake effect would wear off partway through the ensuing argument.
Most of the time.
There was a whole bottle of bourbon or some such waiting for her when she got home tonight, she decided.
[OOC: Post is open, but I’m about to go get my eyes dilated so it’s definitely going to be SP until, you know, I can see again.]
