Dear secretary who doesn't know what a mail delivery failure notification is, First of all, thank you for manning this desk and accepting packages for people because the mail men aren't smart enough to find office numbers.

I have been in continuous guilt because of one thing. I did not know that something so small and mindless could bother me once I was behind the register.
