elephant stamps

 in the early afternoon i went to the nearby post office and got a sheet of elephant stamps. i had seen them the previous day when i went to mail a card to my aunt in wisconsin, my 9th card of the season. i have probably written before about the meaning of elephants to me, as my former boss and mentor had given me an elephant tie brought back from a business trip to india. naturally the writeup i found about the postal service issuing this stamp mentioned the circus. it was a struggle to get my car ready for the drive to work in the morning. there was ice all over, and i dumped a lot of washer fluid on the windows to help chip away at it. i applied more than just a splash, a reminder of the ad campaign. i was asked about a check from last week, i said i sent the file of refund checks to a colleague , i do this once a week. found out it was a check i was asked to re-route to st. louis. and i was asked to intercept a check after i started to close out the day, i stopped the machine to find it as i had just started to run that file through it. during my walks i found 1 cent. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon and amy meet the two from fermi lab that want to share the nobel prize. it was followed by the one where priya serves as leonard's attorney on the roommate agreement and sheldon decides to start a self-destruct mode to get his way. amy kisses sheldon and then threw up.
