Cris romanticises the postal system but doesn't understand stamps

[crispfencer]

My job at work yesterday was to rip audio of every mention of jazz music from The Mighty Boosh (radio & telly) and send it to my producer. I promise there's a reasonable explanation for this. 

Christmas gifts have all been sent! I panicked at the post office brought envelopes that are comically too big, and the floor manager put my box together because "you really need help, don't you love?" Regardless of these failings, everything should be on it's way and delivered before, uhh, February. Merry Christmas!

That sounds like an Ideal Job, like.. we've trained for that! we rip extracts from comedy content all the time! :P

I can't tell the difference between parcels and letters apparently... hence why your parcel came in two layers of packaging lol. I wanted to buy stamps and had to be told that it wouldn't fit through the mailbox slot

That's what I thought! Fandom has given me employable skills, but only for very niche jobs. ^^;

There were so many varieties of envelopes/packaging when I went it took me a good few minutes just to work out what I needed. (Your gift is in a shoe-box sized flatpack, didn't want to risk a stuffed parcel tearing or anything!)

What an awesome job task!

It really is! It's not everyday you get paid to watch comedy, ha!

That does sound like the perfect job!! As Pei said, we're pretty much already trained in that!! =P

I once tried to send a present to a friend on an envelope and was told in the post office "no love, that has to go on a box..." so, I don't understand how parcels work either. =/

We have! Now I just need to find the job that lets me do all my fandom things, but get paid for it...

Oh my god, how big was the present?! XD

I have a job of taking care of the Horne Section website, which I'm bad at and don't get paid, does that count? =P

It wasn't even big, but I think the woman didn't like it because it was bulky (it was a little figurine), but then she gave me a huge box and I was just "no, it's going to roll around in there and smash it... Now both options are bad!" =/
