Oh how time slows down when we are waiting. Here I sit at work knowing there is a big box of goodies sitting on my porch. I can hear them crying out to be set free.
Here I am thinking you were talking about waiting for your son to arrive! I know what you mean, brother. I have mail inbound from the states and it is taking forever!!
Place lots of different orders and neglect to keep track of them. Get them shipped to your workplace. Its wonderful when stuff just starts arriving and you're not exactly sure what it might be!
Speaking of long waits, 10 days ago we shipped some pipes to a customer in Israel. We checked on it today, and the package is just clearing customs in Brazil! You never know what route international shipments are going to take.
Sometimes the order does turn up early.
Ordered for the USA on Friday the parcel just arrived on my desk in Dublin. Hooray!
So of course I opened it straight away groped the contents for a while now its sitting under my desk exuding delicious aromas. Feck!
