Thank You Notes Are Not Lost In North Dakota
When mail shows up here at the station, you never know what to expect, especially if it has your name on it. When Penny said she had something for me, I started wondering what was there. Was it the new equipment I was expecting? It turns out, it was a note. My name and address were handwritten on the front. I really wasn't expecting anything, and I didn't recognize the return address...it had to be a complaint or something. When I opened it, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a handwritten thank you note. The person it was from dropped me a note thanking me for the time I gave for an impromptu meeting. He was doing his job and wrote a note to thank me for giving him some time. That literally made my day.
