The boss will not like me doing this

Sometime today someone dropped off a long letter about next week's election.

Even though the deadline for election letters was a week ago today, and we gave people at least 10 days' notice in the paper of the deadline, and we've been running notices daily that we were not taking any more election letters.

Maybe the writer doesn't read the paper, but he wants his letter published.

Maybe he forgot.

Maybe he thinks the rules don't apply to him.

If it's the last, he could be one of those people who gets in the express lane at the grocery story will a shopping cart full of small items. So what if the sign says "10 items or less"? And if people with only one or two items are stuck in line behind the person with the full cart.

I'd better let it drop. The letter writer's motives aren't what bother me. The jerks in the checkout line do.
