Steve’s christmas card …
This is borderline hilarious: My colleague Steve sent a Christmas card via FedEx way before Christmas. I just received it today (1/29). He used Adobe’s internal mail department to ship it. For whatever reason, they had an old, old address on file and tried to send it to the wrong address. When it finally got returned they contacted me and I corrected the address mistake.
That’s not hilarious, but what follows is: I open the envelope and find another trashed FedEx envelope inside. I can see the old address on that envelope, but I also find some of the drivers notes on it. Here’s a scan:

12/21 - Muddy road - Can’t go up - Won’t get out
12/24 - Snow packed road - Can’t get up hill
