"Going Postal" by Franken Gibe
----- GwD: The American Dream with a Twist -- of Lime ***** Issue #82 -----
----- release date: 01-03-01 ***** ISSN 1523-1585 -----
something amazing and significant's been happening every time i wear my Postal
Carrier shirt that i got from the Goodwill. it's like, i get instant respect.
it's crazy how a uniform does that. there's SO many fucken fringe benefits to
being a civil servant, and i never knew it. or maybe it's just that people
respect you when you're employed. fer instance, i went by the baskin-robbins,
and got a milkshake, and the lady behind the counter sees me sitting down and
all and goes 'tough day, huh?' and i agree, then she comes around the counter
and fucken insists that i remain seated while she takes my money and makes
change and all, cuz she says 'mailmen are overworked.' i guess it didn't occur
to her that red Chucks and cut-off olive drabs aren't part of the post office
dress code. i dunno.
one little badge stitched on your shirt can change your life.
actually, too, i feel a little guilty fucking around with the codes of social
discourse and all. i mean, it's like playing games with the glue that holds
society together, cuz i mean, yeah, it's FUNNY when socialization becomes a game
of dress-up, but then, i have to admit i'm ordinarily relieved that mostly
people aren't playing around, and signifiers really DO signify, and people play
along and do stuff like stop at red lights and refrain from clubbing me over the
head cuz they wanna steal my milkshake. i'm glad bridge inspectors usually
really ARE bridge inspectors, and health inspectors are honestly inspecting
stuff, and guys driving fire trucks have an actual and genuine interest in
fighting fires. so, yeah, it's a thrill, but i'm not sure how i feel about it,
and i URGE all of y'all not to go imitating postal workers.
