Waiting for Mr. UPS...
- Jan. 18th, 2007 at 8:54 AM
After giving me an initial ship date of 1/22, Dell shipped my new laptop on Monday. UPS tried to deliver it yesterday, but of course no one was home. My work email in-box has crested 300+ messages. I have been avoiding tackling this for weeks. Today the two streams have converged. I'm sitting at home waiting for Mr. UPS and waging jihad on my in-box. I've been at it for nearly two hours and I'm down to 264.

But it was like Christmas (or Chanukah) when it finally came!!!
Have you gone the obsessive route and clicked on the UPS link to see where it is?
