Yes, I am one of the contracted Amazon mail couriers who delivers books and CDs to cave dwellers,though I have not done this in Canada yet mainly Missouri, Iceland and Turkey. I think it is the Gloom of Night clause- so both me and the Icelandic pack ponies have to wear head lamps. It gets a bit hairy and is slightly fatal if we make a wrong turn but otherwise it pays really well. And having a copy of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" usually gets us out of most bad situations.
Since I am part of the Spelunking Delivery Service we have to work in all conditions. The contract has a Rain clause, a Snow Clause, a Heat Clause (useful when volcanoes erupt driving people underground) the aforesaid Gloom Clause (helps with delivering to the Bat Cave) and such but I don't do too much beach cave delivery work because (and please don't let little kids know this) there is no Sandy Clause.
Are you serious?? I totally thought you were kidding at first, making up a crazy story worthy of Pratchett (or some post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie), but, then, your life in Iceland is pretty remarkable! Either way, I want dibs on the movie rights!
Wow! Thanks for the nice words! My life is not that exciting, at least not until I get to move to Iceland full time for good and ever. Now it is a part time existence.
Cool! I get to have a movie about me! Yippers! Is it animated? If you do a movie of "Going Postal" can I work on the set?
And yes, this cave delivery stuff is all very, very true- at least for my alter ego. :-)
Of course! That would fit, I think. Or, if I put on aging make up the women who loves to say that the post office is MAAAAAAAAAAAAD.
And, yup. I am female. Guilty as charged. If I were a guy there were thousands of roles I could play, but such is life.
Though I think I would be a killer (no pun intended) Adora Belle Dearheart if it were animation voice over since I talk with a low husky European accented voice and have the same sort of sarcastic humor without the bitterness. I used to crack up the geek boys in high school with my Bette Davis and Mae Davis impressions. Physically- nope since I am not the right age and have blond hair and am not tall and don't smoke- I just sound like I do.
