The UPS guy

jmc_bksI shocked the UPS guy today. By being home. Normally, he just leaves packages with my neighbor. [He's new; the last UPS guy would NOT leave stuff next door, which meant I had to schlep out to their central location and wait in line to pick packages up.]
Today's haul -- three boxes, all Amazon. Why not package them in one box? I dunno, maybe the books were located at different shipping centers?
So, now I have these new story books waiting for me
Semi-related: while checking Google Reader (and reading about marketing), I saw a commercial for Nora Roberts' books -- it was particular to The Pagan Stone, but also mentioned La Nora's books generally. Nice.
I've been off work for a week. Before I left on Friday, my supervisor made me promise not to check my email all week. It was hard to make the promise, and I was extremely tempted on Monday and Tuesday last week. But now, not so much. If anything came up, it has either been handled or it'll wait until I return tomorrow. I'd planned on checking it today, just to clean out the junk (why am I cc'd on some of that crap?) but instead will leave it for tomorrow when I'm back at the office. Why ruin my relaxed mood?
