UPS Hostage
I’ve been held hostage in my apartment by UPS today. The helpful little sticky left for me on my front door yesterday boldly (and helpful) proclaimed that UPS would attempt a re-deliver today sometime between the hours of 10:30am and 5pm. They must now be conspiring with the cable company to offer very constructive information regarding their paid visits.
Anyway, because of this, I’ve wanted nothing but to go outside of my apartment and, thus, have had to keep myself busy in other ways. All hasn’t been lost though. Despite my bondage, I’ve had a good day here including (but not limited to):
1. Forcing Andras to bring me his “good-bye” lunch instead of going out for it.
2. Finishing a UW project exceedingly fast…when all I wanted to do was walk away from it.
3. Feasting on Trader Joe’s food almost constantly.
4. I’m going to work out here in 5 minutes or so. Usually, this urge wouldn’t strike until at least 7:30pm.
5. Cleaning the kitchen. I know.
6. The possibilities feel endless at this point.
I always feel some kind of relief when this person shows up and gives me the go-ahead to assume freedom. But until then, I suppose there are worse things I have to endure.
Like getting a PhD…but I’ll worry about that later.
