Timely thread.

A co-worker came into my office to talk about addresses. People in the county are putting their addresses on pieces of paper and taping them to their mailboxes. This lasts as long as a good rainstorm and then the EMTs can't find their houses when they call for an ambulance.

I didn't know anything about this so I sent an e-mail to the list serve for my field asking if anybody had anything. My supervisor sees it.

1. He tells me there's been a law about addresses since the seventies. (I was not informed of this, and couldn't find any information about it, but ok)

2. He told me I was portraying the county as being hick, and he had worked so hard to make it nice and how dare I portray it like that, etc.

On one hand I'm upset because it seemed like he was genuinely hurt. On the other hand, every county in America likely has this problem. And I've talked to some other people and nobody could follow his logic where address issues=hick. It doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure if I was unintentionally mean, of if he's just an overly sensitive twit. Either way I left his office in tears.

He's being overly sensitive. It sounds like it's a vulnerable spot for him and anything that suggests county people are doing things wrong/inadequately is going to set him off and make him think they're being insulted as hickish.

I don't know what your boss is on about with his '70s address law, but I think he may be confused.

I do know what he's on about with the "hick" thing, but he's being very touchy. Address issues and and EMTs bring to mind folksy human interest pieces like this: http://articles.philly.com/1994-01-06/news/25823971_1_addresses-rural-counties-rural-residents

In the rural part of the county where my grandparents live, the address thing and the street re-naming for 911 is still an ongoing thing.

Around here, rural properties all have standardized reflective metal address signs out on the road. They're a lot easier to spot that a lot of addresses here in the city, where you have to squint at someone's unlit house numbers from the sidewalk like like some kind of creep.

and then there's the houses that DONT HAVE ANY NUMBERS PRESENT and it will be like 5 houses in a row so you'll realise you've gone too far, so backtrack but then again too far and you just kind of slowly narrow in on it and spot the tiny number hidden on the far right of the house behind a tree
