Brown can’t do anything

My grandmother sent me a package for Christmas. It requires an adult signature for delivery. I know UPS delivers a lot of packages but how many sorts are usually home to sign for a package at 4:30 PM on a Monday?

So when I got home from work at 7 pm I went online to request that the package be delivered to my office. Send like a pretty straightforward request, but I was charged $4 for the convenience.

Fast forward to today when I’m trying to find out when I can expect it. UPS.com says it didn’t know. I called and spoke with an operator and she told me to just keep checking the website.

I’m going out of town for the holidays on Thursday and big brown can’t tell me if I’ll get the package in time or if my most co-workers will be sitting around starting at my present for a week, trying to resist the urge to open a package that requires an adult signature.
