The last day that I was at The Colbent Corporation was the day that the big mailing job was to take place.  On that day Paul Beardsley, my cousin, realized that they did not have the correct size mailing trays or covers.  This did not seem to be a big problem in my eyes but to him, this would ruin the entire project.  Because Mike and I were the interns it was our job to fix the problem.  We called the Braintree Post Office to see if they had any of the EMM mailing trays.  Fortunately for us they had about three hundred and fifty of them, and we needed about three hundred so we were in luck.  They also had the same amount of covers so that was even better.  We drove down to the post office and began our new adventure.  We did not get lost on the way to the post office, shocking I know, but we had a problem once we got there.  We were in my car, a Toyota 4Runner, not a truck; so we could not just put the entire pallet in the car, we had to find a way to squeeze about ninety five of the EMM trays in each trip.  We took four trips to get all of the trays and only one trip for the covers.  The covers were very thin so we could fit a ton of them in the car.  We filled the car so high with covers that on the ride home when I hit the breaks they would fly up over our seats and hit us in the back of the head.  Once we got back Paul was very thankful and the job was completed on time.
