UPS is worse than the cable company.  Their “delivery window” is 9AM – 7PM.  So, I guess if I want anything delivered to my house in the future, I’ll just have to take off.  For this package, I re-routed it to my work.

But, I have some heavy stuff coming via UPS and FedEx (~50 lbs) and large, that I can’t possibly receive at work.  So, they better not pull this crap with that stuff.

Well, the dryer, anyway. Don’t leave your dryer running when you leave the house like someone at my house did.
