25th July- the joy of forms

1970's toy Post Office

When I was little I wanted to work in a post office because they had all these beautiful forms for people to fill in. They were pale green or pink or folded out into a big sheet. I loved the compartments they were stored in and thought that it would be wonderful to work somewhere like that.

Now I'm sitting here trying not to be sick at having to fill in yet another form to try and claim some money. I still love forms and filling them in for others is one of my favourite things to do, but I am struggling to find the joy in forms that I used to.

Does going for a walk equal a productive use of time that will burn off adrenaline and help me tackle them, or is it more procrastination?

Thanks to the wonders of the internet I was able to find this toy Post Office set from the 1970's, which goes someway to showing what the Post Office memories I have were made of. This set is available to buy from Vintage Games for £25 and I would be delighted if you decided to treat me!
