Hello dear islanders,
hope all of you are well. :)
Task of this week: send 1000 books via mail.
Challenge: you have to pack them by yourself with paper, old boxes and adhesive tape. :panic:
Extra challenge: some packages contain 50 books.
Another extra challenge: the delivery guy does not show up on time.
Mole rats are nothing compared to this. :whut:
It would be nice to have the Fat Swans come along and help me. Maybe they are better with scissors than with dancing.
Guess, I'll be at the Mackerel this evening. For an adult beverage. :P

This sounds like a very challenging task.
Delivery guys NEVER show up on time. They are always early or late. I think it’s in their contract.
I shall meet you at the Mackeral my friend.
First round on me.

They were an hour late, yesterday. Well, it was only one guy.
When he saw the piles of wrapped books he left his transport boxes and ran away.
Today he was back with a colleague. At least they took some of the books away. :P

We wanted to do this step by step. My coworker is in vacation this week.
On Monday my boss decided that I have to send all books away this week.
This will never happen. Yesterday, I ran out of packing material.
Today I am waiting for him to sign more letters. :P

No, they did not. It took about 6 hours to wrap the first 200 books. :P
