For many years I worked in high technology... which is high stress. Stamp collecting was a big pressure release.

One of my concerns when I started working at the stamp shop, was that I would no longer have the pressure release... since all the stamps are old, that I work on each day... and I've always collected newer issues... I STILL HAVE THE PRESSURE RELEASE.



I still love my job!

And we all still hate you for being able to live the dream! (Sarcasm of course)
But, at least we can all still dream.

David-

Aren't you the least bit concerned that your employer might find out you'd work for free? You oughta make it sound like a dungeon.

My 2d.

Phil, Phil, Phil...that's no way to handle this...

We gotta start squeezing David slowly...you know, hush stamps, to keep us quiet. Before long we'll each be getting Jubilee sets and the like in our mailboxes on a regular basis.

We just gotta keep it quiet...

Well, when Ian offered me the job, he stated the pay, then said: "You may not make as much as your other job, but I think you'd find it a lot more fun".

SOLD!!

What? You mean employees in stamp shops get paid ?

I want "in" on those "Hush Stamps ( )" or I will be offering Ian Kimberly money to let me work for him.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
