  • the number of the beast?

    dinky came in today; sort of a weird deal - wrong delivery address; left on my doorstep. now i think that i know what a nervous breakdown must feel like, as i sped across town in rush-hour traffic.

    i said a little prayer on my way down the expressway, and come to find an eerie serial number on it...

        I find the fact it's a sig model for a guy in a band that has "Number of the Beast" as an album title highly amusing.

            I ordered an Xbox hard drive and they left in plain view on my step. Obviously not as big as yours but still, you'd think they would get you to pick it up. It was about -30C the day they left that on my step. I was lucky it worked.

              Those question marks in your sig are gonna bug me. I used to be the King Of Dating Charvels & Jacksons by Serial Number... need to find my old charts.

                i didn't even look at the tag before i took it off and put it in the case, and i had to look twice the first time i saw it!

                yeah; talk about a panic attack... the ups truck is usually at the office when i get there, so i've buddied up with the driver so that he remembers me by name and face. no dice. i check on the ups site and it's still 'in transit'. no worries; looking forward to its arrival, and chomping at the bit.

                tick tock tick tock tick tock; 4:30 comes and the ups truck drives past the office - i see it go by, and check the ups website again. "we are unable to process your request at this time". i go over to the hard rock desk and the girls up front say that they saw him just drive past too, and he didn't stop for them either.

                i check the ups website again - "we are unable to process your request at this time." now i'm getting nervous, so i call ups and i'm on hold for a very tenuous 15 minutes; it's about 4:55 now, and i'm getting a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

                the woman finally comes to the line and confirms my tracking number and says that they've delivered my package. at this point, i see a shower of red speckles and try to ask where the package was delivered. she can tell that i'm distressed, and tries to gently tell me that it has been delivered to my home address, the billing address on my account.

                in full panic mode, i run out of the office and jump in the truck and try to turn a 20 minute ride into 10, getting home in about 15 to find my new dinky sitting behind my city issued, roll-out trash container.

                i don't have any children of my own, so for those of you who do - should my child ever come up missing, should i expect a similar sensation?

                  i'd probably crap myself, then find the guy and put HIM into the trash can.. geeez. don't you have to sign for your packages?
                  oh and i know the feeling of red specles .. not pleasant

                  and no, cant see the pic..
