-Eight O'Clock At The Oasis-
. So I'm experiencing one of those days where I get to play the waiting game. I have a few shop assignments that require materials sent to me via FedEx. I had been waiting all week for them to arrive but with no success. I've actually had to postpone each shop, pushing them back a day because of the lack of materials. However, John and I had to leave the house for a half an hour yesterday in which FedEx decided to choose that small window of time to arrive at our door. Upon our return, we were greeted with a note saying they had come bearing my gifts and would return sometime the next day. Well this wouldn't do. My first shop was rescheduled (for the 2nd time) for 7AM this morning. So we called FedEx to see if it were possible to pick up my packages before they closed. But of course, that couldn't be done because their office hours were only until 6PM but the driver would be out delivering until 8PM - with my materials right beside him. I was told that I could expect a visit today between the hours of 8AM - 8PM. What is that?
. So here I sit. . .waiting. I actually got a phone call this morning around 8:30 asking if I would be home. For some stupid reason I just assumed it meant I would be seeing the delivery person soon. Guess not. Soooo, I can't leave the house until this guy shows up. - John asks if I want to go out for lunch... Nope, sorry, gotta sit here and wait... AND, John and I are headed up North for a Shakespeare festival this evening. Well, the FedEx guy had better be here by then...
.Of course, I write all this like I am going to tell this guy off when he shows up at the door. Like I am going to yell at him about the injustice of having to wait all day, just for him to show up with my package, and why can't they just give me a time? But, in reality, when he does finally show up, I will smile, thank him, and tell him to have a great day.
