Constructing a character seen only through his refuse
My work doesn't do direct deposit, so they have to send me my paychecks via FedEx Overnight. One downside of that is that FedEx guarantees that overnight shipments will be delivered by 10:30 am — usually it's more like 9 am. But I'm not usually awake by then, so the night before I was expecting a package, I'd have to carefully lay out a set of clothes on the floor so that when the doorbell woke me up the next morning, I could leap from my bed, throw on my clothes, and answer the door before the FedEx guy gave up and left.
One day, as I struggled to sign his pad through my bleary eyes, he mentioned that if I leave a signed note on the door, he can accept that as my signature and not have to wake me up all the time. I said awesome, and since then, every 2 weeks I leave the note on the door before I go to bed, and all is good.
I didn't want to waste new sheets of paper, of course, so I just wrote the notes on the back of scrap paper.
