hmmm. what exactly defines mid-morning? i would say that if we are looking at it as midnight-noon, then 6am would be about mid-morning. but let's just say for the benefit of the big butt-crackin hairy delivery men that we count midmorning as sometime between when they guzzle their first cup of coffee and when they pause to chow down on hoagies. so between 8 and noon?

perhaps, if i allow ample time for them to have 6, 7...20 cigarette breaks we can give them 10:30 or so. but when i am starting to wonder what's for lunch, we have passed morning and entered afternoon.

so where the hell is my delivery? i want the pavers dammit. i want them right now. and i want those big sweaty hairy buttcrack men to be racing here in fear of what may happen should they pass by mid-morning and head into straight on into afternoon-ish!

why is it so impossible to just give a damn delivery time?

"we'll be there sometime today between when you wake up and when you go to sleep. please be ready. be up and dressed. have the house relatively clean. don't go anywhere. make sure all phone lines are available. and don't start any projects that we will interrupt. just sit and wait. thanks."
