So Friday I ordered my new lap top, and I've been anxiously counting down the days until I get it. I'm more than a little excited, and was thrilled that my shift schedule was just so that I only work one day next week, Wendesday, and it's a backshift, so I'll be home all day any way. It's exciting because it means I won't miss the delivery and have to go find the depot and pick it up.
Yesterday I'm sleeping after the previous night's backshift; and I'm just sleeping good, having been up for a bathroom break and being that much more comfortable. Then the dog starts barking. And it's not a bark you can ignore because, being a little dog, it's very high pitched; it typically goes right through my head and means instant headache. So I get up to see what she's on about, and see a delivery guy just getting ready to write up a "Sorry to have missed you" slip. I open the door, and see the big brown box. With the Dell sticker. And I'm all "No way.... It can't be here this soon!"
So I sign for the box and he hands it to me, and it's redicoulously light. I get in and rip into the box, despite the fact it's 1:30 and I needed more sleep before I went out that night. But I was up, so might as well try to make up for it, ne? Well, add insult to injury... It was the nylon carrying case for my new comp.
