Swift completion

Ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon early last week, to take advantage of their Black Friday-through-Tuesday sale. Got a few DVDs I’d been wanting at five or six bucks a pop, a couple books I’d been faunching over, and a Hanukah present for my nephew. As they usually do, Amazon broke the shipment up into four boxes.

Yesterday, the postman rings a few times, and I buzz him in and get a package. bugsybanana and I wind up spending the whole day indoors, so we don’t check the mail till Sunday, when she finds one of those we-tried-to-deliver-a-package-but-you-were-out slips. There’s no mail delivery on Sunday, and only one delivery other days, so the postman must have dragged the two packages out here, handed me one (the heavier one, as it turns out, though neither was particular large or heavy), and then dragged the other back to the depot.

Today I wait around till 3 PM, just in case yet another box turns up. Spend an hour walking to the post office, getting my package, walking back.

There’s a UPS slip waiting for me.
