"Head...Shoulders...Knees and...SOCKS!"
Please Mr. Postman?
I received an email the other day from someone who has known me for years and works in the national office for an organization that I volunteer with:
Hi socKs,
So I send her the address and now I wait. And of course with waiting comes over thinking.
What first strikes me as odd is that they would even need to ask for my address. I've volunteered for this organization for 12 years. They should have my details on file. Or they could ask our local office for the info as well. The comes the question - what is he sending? Why can't it just be an email, which is always our usual form of communication?
And then the big question - what the heck is this in relation to? Is it a formal written apology and explanation for the way they screwed me over without explanation a couple years ago and last year (which yes, I'm still harping on [on occasion])? Is it notification of a special award that they want to bestow on me later this year? Is it a "thank you but we no longer want your services on the national level" letter? A card letting me know that someone made a donation in my honor? An invitation to participate in an upcoming national conference? Is it a free t-shirt? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!
Now I know that I'm over thinking this. But that isn't going to stop me from running to the check the mail as soon as I get home each night!
Hi socKs,
What is your mailing address? [My boss] has something to send you.
Thanks
