Week in review...

Teach your kid to respect women or we'll send him to Guantanamo Bay!

Setting up new computer this weekend:

We went to (e:Janelle) and (e:Drew) 's for an afternoon of fun on MLK day.

I won Balderdash (like always!)

Drew won Apples to Apples:

And after Drew and Janelle's soiree we went out to Left Bank for dinner (it's (e:James) and my 3 year anniversary today)

Delish!

M and M Slogans

Help me pick out what to have written on the official (e:strip) M&M's that I plan to order in time for the next party.

Here was my first thought:

But, unfortunately they do not allow swearing.

Rules: we can have two different slogans, and each one can have two lines of 8 characters each, and they must be G-rated.

Another try:

Setting up new computer...

Somehow in the whole exciting adventure of getting a new computer I somehow lost sight of the fact I'd have to spend all weekend setting it up and tweaking it.

So many things to install...

VERY FUNNY UPS!

So, UPS says I wasn't here to sign for the package this AM when I specifically took off work to be here.

I bet there was a garbage truck on our street at the same time and the driver just said fuck it and went on to the next block.

I've had the exact same thing happen.
And I've had them actually come when I'm HOME WAITING FOR THEM, and then they just don't ring the doorbell and leave the sticker that they attempted but no one was home.
I have also put my signature on file with them like 10 times so they can leave a package without a sig so I don't have to take off work to be home (since that's just not an option)- and they still leave the 'no one home to sign' love notes.
Apple is especially bad about insisting on a sig.

metalpeter writes at 05:15:58 01/18/08 - Comment #30584: First of all was there a thing left on your door? If it was on your door then you know they where there. I my self had never had a problem with them but I don't order much stuff. I can't order stuff to my house because if you leave something on a step that leads to a door and that door is locked and goes to the hall then the package disapears. If your house is secure you can set up so you don't have to sign. I don't know how to do it but you can also have them deliver some place else. A lot of people have things delivered to where they work. That is not all ways an option but it is a good way to not have to take off work. depending on the package sometimes they will drop it off next door but with a high end item they may not do that.

scott writes at 11:48:48 01/18/08 - Comment #30580: Can't be worse than DHL. They sent me an "overnight" part 4 weeks late.

It did arrive in the AM, just 4 weeks after I ordered it. It appears that don't specify which night they ship over for "overnight" shipping.
