I hadn't realised that although Michael wants the feeding tubes removed, he's actually not making the decision, but placing that decision in the hands of the court. To avoid the appearence of impropriety, etc.

I thought he'd made the decision, and her parents were trying to use the courts to stop it.

the receiving guy is standing there grinning, "somebody looooves youuuu."

Bwah!

I have received a personal package and that IS AGAINST POLICY.

WTF is the rational for this policy?

Sooper sekrit government-sponsored stuff, maybe.

We have that policy here at the University, too, and are reminded of it every holiday season. I believe it has to do with the fact that the U. doesn't want to pay folks to spend time delivering our personal stuff.

I just had a new vacuum cleaner delivered to me at work today.

It would really suck if we couldn't do things like that, because I don't want to have things delivered at home and sit in the lobby all day.

I hadn't heard that, either. It's an interesting opinion-- more compassionate than I've probably ever read.

Timelies all!

I occasionally have personal packages delivered to me at work, and have never gotten reprimanded for it.(and i work for the federal government.)

Offices that don't like employees getting packages delivered should suck it up. It's a small thing that makes life easier for said employees, making them, in turn, happier workers.
