For some reason this reminds me of a tv show episode though I can not recall what or where. I love how he is facing "disciplinary action."

Postal worker caught with thousands of letters

Quote:

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin postal worker who was caught with more than several thousand undelivered letters in his basement has admitted he was overwhelmed by the job but insisted he planned to deliver them soon.

Police recently found 90 boxes of post stacked in his basement. The postal worker, 36, identified as Thomas H., told Bild newspaper Friday he was only temporarily storing the post at his house and friends would help with delivery.

"There were just too much and I couldn't deliver it all by myself," he told the newspaper. Police said some of the letters found had been postmarked as early as April. The postal worker faces disciplinary action.

You're thinking of Seinfeld, where Newman was storing letters in the storage locker.

And Jerry helped by delivering the mail for Newman and got caught because too many people got their mail. Jerry broke the mythical 50% barrier.

Come on, TBS shows two episodes a night and FOx (the Philly affiliate, anyway) shows an episode as well. I mean, yeah, you've seen 'em all, but it's still relaxing.

Oh, I just pretty much dont watch TV at all anymore. Nothing against the show, I still catch a show or two here and there. But my schedule no longer gives me as much time for TV.

Btw, Go Indians! (even if they suck this year)

signature---and I did not get it...claim is in to get my money back,
but they will probably loose that in the mail...VG
