You'd better be in your bed asleep when he gets there, otherwise it's nothing but switches (Q-switches?) for you, young man!

i need to chill
my usual delivery is round 6pm
you would have thought the insured value would have made them get it off ups' hands quickly

Jeff-  
Do you have a good relationship with your local UPS guys?  If you do, I'd call and check in with them.  I once had a bass arrive at the depot mid-morning'ish but since it wasn't routed for delivery on the day of it's arrival I had to wait a full day to get it in my hands.
 
A quick phone call might stop the expletives from flowing this evening.  =)

Santa Alembiclaus is bringing you the long awaited Tribute? What a marvelous Holiday it will be! A little hot toddy and some low frequency dancing and the lights will surely be all lit up at your house!
Congrats and enjoy!

Remember this is a rather hectic time of the year for delivery services. I had a UPS guy knock on my door after 8pm last night - and he still had 9 more deliveries to make!

Hey Jeff.  You gotta remote Web CaM? I'd like to see the look on the delivery guy's face when Jeff kisses him, hands him a bowl, grabs the box, saying my precious.  and runs off to the woodshed

Well if we hear from Jeff again tonight it must mean the bass wasn't delivered. After all it is only proper  to disappear for a couple of days once it gets there.

i may have to meet the driver somewhere
once she saw the insured value, she saw my concern.

Jeff:
 
Repeat after me:
 
ooooohhhhhhhhmmmmmm;  
nam yoho renge kyo;  
baruch ato adonai;  
to everything there is a season;  
why don't we do it in the road;  
Mr. Charlie told me so.  
 
Whatever it takes - breath in, breath out.  Time will pass.  At least you're not on the west coast or you'd have to wait another 3 hours! (nyuk, nyuk)
 
Believe me, bro, I'm tres jealous.  I hope you can be late for work tomorrow!  hi to Annie.

Well Norm.  It's a little known fact that dogs can actually sense an on coming Alembic minutes before it actually  arrives.
