UPS left packages, a week late, at my friends house when they'd been asked to hold them because they were out of town. Luckily, I was catsitting and they didn't get stolen (they have a big problem with that being right across from a bus stop.)

I love that my front door is tucked in a funny corner and isn't a big deal if a box is left outside. On the other hand, I've had deliveries where I've been home but they have put a note on my door and then took the box to the office.

It's almost all gang members getting shot in my neighborhood right now, but that's really not that comforting.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I hate UPS. They always seem to do things like leave expensive items on my porch to be stolen, and then will not deliver my catfood without my signature.

Sorry you are joining the thankfully small ranks of buffistas who had murders in front of where they live (um, I think that's just you and me so far.) At least your car wasn't behind crimetape??

I don't bring home the work laptop for a reason. Just checked status and sent email.
There's a latent (mostly beaten into submission) overachiever in me, and this brings it out.
At least this weekend, they are migrating my mail to a new server and I can't check it. But then will spend the next week recovering from that. Cause there is fallout and uhg and now they want me to upgrade OS, which. Fine. But not all at once. And not after this month of HELL.

UPS is my second to least favorite delivery outfit. I'm a USPS person all the way. My least favorite is Golden State Overnight who inevitably fuck up Grace's medical supplies.
Liese, glad you got home safe and sound. Roy's is NOM!
I'm sort of in love with playing the ESP game and have just wasted too much time doing it. [link]

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I think UPS' tagline should be "For packages you can't risk FedEx delivering correctly."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You're east of Broadway, right? That part of Uptown has the worst crime.
I think the worst neighborhood I've lived in was South Minneapolis. We had three murders within a block our our house for the three years I lived there... but they were all people killing people they knew, so it didn't scare me that much. But I think I'd be more scared now for some reason.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It was super nom! I'm glad I decided to splurge and go. It was a nice way to relax and enjoy the end of the trip. Plus, it's never wrong to eat macadamia nut encrusted mahi mahi.
I had a good trip. Thanks so much for spending time!
I would love the USPS, but they won't come to me. I tell this to people, and they are always, so...are you general delivery? No, I have NO mail delivery. They're all...rural box? I am rural. I am so rural that there are no rural boxes.
But UPS and Fedex and even DHL will slog it out here to me just fine. So, whatevs.
