Postage Due 1/31
Stupid postal tricks
A sign that maybe you have too much time on your hands?
An Experiment
Take one blank postcard, write your own address on one side with a stamp, and your friend’s address on the other side with a stamp.
What do the sorting office do in this situation?! They could either
a) Send it back to me
b) Send it to Dave
c) Send it backwards and forwards, or
d) If they have a sense of humour, cut it in half with a cheese wire!I thought that if I sent it from within my postcode area they would send it straight back to me as the nearest address. So, I popped the prepared postcard inside an envelope and sent it to a friend who lives approximately between me and Dave to send on from there.

Valassis names new Advo President: Stock surges on analyst upgrade
Valassis, whose acquisition of direct mail giant ADVO was marked by lawsuits and accusations of dirty dealing on both sides, announced Friday that Rob Mason, Valassis Senior Vice President, Retail and Services, will be promoted to President, ADVO Inc., effective at the close of the ADVO deal. Mason will assume general management and profit & loss responsibilities while focusing on sales and marketing efforts.
Also on Friday, Valassis’s stock price jumped almost six percent to 14.62 on Deutsche Bank Securities analyst Paul Ginocchio’s upgrade of the stock from ‘Hold’ to ‘Buy’. Friday’s closing proce is still only half of what the stock was worth a year ago, however. The share price fell sharply in June on lowered earnings estimates, and dropped further in July when the ADVO merger was announced, and still further as the ensuing litigation dragged on.
