They're Still On Notice
The one time UPS does something right, and I'm not around to see it.
Okay seriously, Jeremy...you're going to get us sued.
I would actually love to see those court papers..."UPS vs Jeremy and his Imaginary Alter Persona"
Get on with it.
So, I've told you before about my feelings for UPS and their dubious success record for me. Well, they finally got one right...and I'm the one who managed to screw it up.
Way to go, pinhead.
So yesterday was the long-long-long-long-long awaited release of the new Trans-Siberian Orchestra album "Night Castle". Not wanting to be without the disc any longer than the 4 years that it was already delayed, I ordered mine online in advance, and it was to be shipped in time for me to have it Tuesday. I thought at one point I read in an email that it would be delivered monday. Extra exciting!
Lousy hook. Continue.
Monday afternoon, I come home from work, and there is no package waiting for me. I figured it's no big deal since CD's always come out on Tuesday, so mine should be delivered on Tuesday and I erred in reading the email. I left the house a little before 5:30 to play volleyball and by the time I got home, it was dark. Little did I know that UPS showed up just after 6PM and left the package on my doorstep. I simply missed it on my way back in.
That night, I was asked by a friend how the CD was, since I had mentioned that I thought it would come on monday. I had to humbly say that I was mistaken in the delivery date and that the CD was not in my possession, not knowing that the box lay no more than 15 feet away.
On a lark, I checked the UPS tracking website Tuesday morning to find that the CD was delivered monday evening. I'm an idiot.
Yes you are.
So, to my friends at UPS: Thanks for delivering my CD on time and leaving it safely on my doorstep. I take back one of the bad things I've said about you over the years, but remind you that you are still on delivery probation. Now that you've proven you can deliver correctly, I will expect continued proper service in the future.

Blah
Yeah, I’m boring today.
I agree...it doesn't seem like a very exciting day. Tuesdays just aren't interesting.
Well, in lieu of a good Blag post today, here's a video from an OHL game in Erie this past weekend. It includes a goalie fight! Enjoy, everyone!

They're also a little sticky
I wonder if the Mets will have another gooey season next year.
I guess that depends on how...wait, what?
Not long ago, I was driving to work following a person whose license plate said, and I'm quoting here: "GOOOMETS". As is my usual custom, I figured out what it actually meant, then figured out fun ways to contort it into something else.
Obviously the person is a fan of the New York Mets, and why wouldn't you be?
They stink.
But if you live in New York, you certainly have the right to be a Mets fan. For the record, there is no excuse for being a Yankees fan regardless of proximity to New York. But the point is that they spell poorly, and added a couple extra O's on to "Go". It's always been a relatively simple work to spell...one of the first I ever learned, in fact. So I decided to mock them for requesting the Mets to be a gooey team. It also reminded me of the children's book "Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey" which is more fun than thinking about baseball during hockey season.
Queue some Yankee fan spewing crap in 3....2....1....

It's like I've heard it 52 times...
Rock Lobster is NOT HOCKEY MUSIC!
I have to agree with you, Jeremy...it's really not.
But it's just....wait...what? You agree with me? Are you sick or something?
I need a ride to the airport this weekend, so I'm being nice.
Well that makes sense. So, the organist decided to play Rock Lobster at a recent Kings game...and it just bugged me a little. I thought I'd share it with you today. Enjoy your weekend, everybody!

The ducks love it
I have a bumper sticker on my fishing boat that says "I'd Rather Be Working"
Work gets kind of a bad rap, doesn't it?
There just aren't many bumper stickers that promote having a good, stable job out there. Maybe there should be.
Going into the Bumper Sticker business are we?
Probably not.
So you have a big announcement today, don't you?
Indeed I do. Today marks the 500th post here on Jeremy Is In The Office.
Holy crap...500 posts? It seems like only yesterday it started.
It's true...according to the counter on the blag's log-in screen. The Word doc where I have all of the messages saved is now 47 pages long and suitable for publishing. Maybe I'll add in some pictures of hockey and toasters before I release it to bookstores nationwide. Watch for my book signing tour coming soon!

Problematic
Why is it that only lousy songs get stuck in your head?
Because you only listen to lousy songs? Come on...I've seen the list on the Blag here.
Everyone has had a song stuck in their head...and the reaction is always the same. "Awe crap! I have that awful ____ song stuck in my head! MAKE IT STOP FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND PLENTY!!!"
Overreaction, party of one. Your table is now ready.
You get the idea. Whenever you get a song stuck in your head, it tends to suck. So instead of an actual good song that can be entertaining me all morning, I get stuck with that new crappy song by a group that could also be named "Asthmatic." That song stinks, by the way.
