Whats even worse is when the ups guy stops by, but alas your package is not in todays shipment. But as you look around at the arrived packages for your dear qtron, your downright mean and nasty co-workers are snickering and laughing behind your back. Whats even worse is when the imps got you package hidden somewhere else. And when you decide to call ups to complain that your package is now two days overdue, they drop it in your lap.

I got even.

It isnt that bad, the worst that happened to me was stepping off an airplane in Glasgow, waiting for luggage . . . and my bass not appearing. Finding out it had been left in Miami did not make me a happy puppy.

The ones that come by change pretty often here, just last week got a ring at the door, was half awake, answered in just my boxers and the guy decided to have a nice long conversation with me about tattoos . . .

I'd say being a full time UPS driver was a step up, in the long run. I'd sure like to have his pay and bennies!
