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.

When I used to work for the Gigantic Gaming Empire, I'd have my computer shtuff sent to work, because that way it wouldn't be left on my porch by moronic drivers.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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 hadn't heard that, either. It's an interesting opinion-- more compassionate than I've probably ever read.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think if JPL doesn't want packages delivered, JPL wins. I'd imagine the cost of the delivery to JPL itself would be rather steep, when security is taken into consideration.
At my company? Whatev.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I just feel like I shouldn't ask the receptionists to deal with my personal crap, you know? But then I live in a small enough city that going to the post office/FedEx office/whatever to pick a package up is easy to do.
