3:00 PM - Woke up, getting ready for a brutal 13 out of 14 day stretch of work - 12 hour shifts, overnight, in a town an hour away. Drinking coffee, my wife is telling me about the baby fussing all day, but I keep looking out the window for the UPS guy. I am distracted.
4:45 PM - Leave the house. Down my street and around the corner, I spot the UPS driver coming towards me. I flag him down. We both stop in the middle of the street and I ask him if he is going to my house. Yes, he says. No, I say, give me my package right here, in the street. Please. He complies. I ask him if he doesn't even want to make sure it belongs to me. Nervous laugh, he says he thinks he has seen me there at my house before. Liar - he is a new guy as far as I can tell. But whatever, I have the package secured. The eagle has landed. [attachment=2:tdqhjwea]en route1.jpg[/attachment:tdqhjwea]
5:15 PM - After half an hour, I realize that I could have let him just give it to my wife at home. But the thought never occurred to me earlier. Strange, that has never happened to me with a package before. It's not like it will do me any good at work, and no one there gives a damn what it is...[attachment=1:tdqhjwea]at work1.jpg[/attachment:tdqhjwea]
8:00 PM - Okay, I can't wait any more. Just a little peek... [attachment=0:tdqhjwea]Hi there!1.jpg[/attachment:tdqhjwea]
So there you go. Who really cares if I can't play with it for TWO WEEKS, RIGHT? The important thing is, it's here, right?!?!? RIGHT?!?!?
Someone please help me with some wisdom or coping mechanisms or something, please. Thank you.
