I never waited for a penguin before

I'm blowing my whole day today
waiting for Fedex to gently deliver my Taiyo penguin.
Be kind and loving FedEx

I hope they are better with handling yours, then they were with mine. I received mine yesterday. It looked like a fork lift ran into it. The front facade was smashed in. I am waiting for the inspector to show up today and check it out. (Thankfully TA is holding another one for me.). The three machines I received from UPS,all arrived in perfect condition. Let us know how she arrives.

That's terrible John. Where's my Rolaids?

They came about a half an hour ago and took it away. Now there is just an empty space left.

How can something like that happen? Do they hire apes?

Are you old enough to remember the luggage commercial with the gorilla?

There ya go.

I sure am Logigprobe.
Anyways,
when 6pm came around last night I gave up waiting for FedEx, and went to the store.
When I got back,
guess what I saw through the locked door of the leasing office?
It was a big box about 43" tall.
Since the leasing office is closed on weekends,
I'll have to ask one of the grounds keepers to open the office for me tomarrow.
I didn't see any obvious trauma to the box-
at least not on the part of the side I could see.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'd be a bit more impatient than you are -- would have to find someone to open up that office.

Looking through the locked glass door

**slotter** · 03-12-2005, 12:33 PM

Why did you have to share that picture, James!

Now I'm frustrated with ya!!!

How are your locksmith skills?

**Tulsa** · 03-12-2005, 12:37 PM

That's just a patio door in the back. They're easy to take off their tracks! C'mon man where's your balls?

**JamesM** · 03-12-2005, 12:40 PM

I haven't given up yet. I go outside and look for maintenance staff every 20 mins

**JamesM** · 03-13-2005, 09:55 AM

Sunday. 4:40am. Sleeping outside next to the window.

**slotter** · 03-13-2005, 12:22 PM

Hahaha!!!

Well, at least no one is going to steal the thing.

**Tulsa** · 03-13-2005, 12:57 PM

If he's standing guard by it at 4:40 in the morning, it's a safe enough bet when someone does show up to unlock that door, he'll be right on top of them!
