Famous People Perks

This is a message I sent to Comedian Kellen Erskine today, which details everything that happened:

I work for the postal service typing mail addresses if they are part of the 1% of mail that isn't read automatically by machines. A couple nights ago, I got a piece of mail that I was just about to reject because the address wasn't in a format that we would normally type when I saw a K. Erskine handwritten in the corner as the return address and somewhere in California. I thought, "what if it's that fantastic comedian I saw in Provo, Utah last year?" so I slowed down and took a minute to type in the address in a way that I can pretty much guarantee it will get where it's supposed to go, even though we wouldn't normally do that.

I can't remember where it was going-we key thousands of pieces of mail per day. My point is that I'm not sure if it was even from you or not but if it is, hopefully it's a sign that you've truly made it when people around the country are taking extra steps at their job just to make sure your mail gets where it needs to go.

If it wasn't you then some other K. Erskine in California is getting a perk of having a name that might be associated with yours. You're very talented. Thanks for the laughs!
