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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Bwah! Oh right, "Security".

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, it's either that, or I take a half day to sit at home and wait for the damn thing.

Hey, it's even more expensive if they do the job badly, all told.

Exactly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's a Your Tax Dollars At Work thing. Ideally we don't spend your money on personal luxuries.
That's the idea. With 5000 people getting personal packages, there's an issue.
However, the receiving department knows I'm a good soul and things happen. They just asked me to come pick it up instead of delivering it, and thought it a nice thing I got 'em.
And it made my whole rotten crappy day so much nicer. so much.

Our wings are not tired.
Allyson getting flowers brightened my day too!

msbelle's flowers for Allyson made my day as well.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAYAYAYAY! HAPPY DAYS ALL AROUND!
1) Kat and Alibelle are funny
2) Jesus' footprint on toast and comments thereabouts - hilarious.
3) Some of our national leadership is making me spitting mad and Tom Delay is a waste of DNA and should be punished for using perfectly good air for evil.
4) The courts get gold stars this week for saying "um, excuse me while we keep our power in this here government - back the hell off, fuck you very much"
5) KRISTEN! PROJECT GREENLIGHT! Oh the horror. this is such a train wreck and poor noodle does not even get how out of line he is. I cannot see him staying on as Director. And that one writer guy is SO annoying. good lord. all normal screenwriters should take up a fund and have him beaten for making their kind look like dorkus humungous.
I think there was more, but I forget. I am on "spring break", it is wonderful. Still, tomorrow, I have to go in to work, but not for a full day, so there's that.
