That is so true for me too. I will be taking delivery at my house so I have a list of people I will put on UPS my House Arrest. Last time I took delivery on a guitar the ups driver drove past my house 4 times before I finally stepped out in the street and drew a bead on him. When he saw I was getting an EBMM he understood my actions and thanked me for showing him the error of his ways.adouglas said:

Soo good to see you guys waiting for your basses. Me, I'm 3 months and half a world away from my second Bongo, which is a seriously painful wait. Waiting for some porn-pics to take the edge off...

Re: Productivity on Wednesday, October 5
Due to the side effects of a severe GAS attack, my effectiveness and productivity will be severely hampered today. Symptoms of the disease are acute, but transitory, and I should be back to normal tomorrow.
The expected symptoms include compulsive checking of clocks, frequent visits to the loading dock, sudden distraction at the sound of delivery trucks, severely shortened attention span, doodling of odd shapes on writing pads and a general disconnection from reality (even moreso than usual).
Thank you for your understanding. This is a debilitating condition that I have no control over. I do not expect it to impact on the deadlines I'm facing this week.
