How about this?  I called Fed Ex again - they told me a package was being delivered today.  The lady today told me it would be delivered tomorrow because someone had called in and requested the package be held for an additional day.  I told her that made no sense since the package is coming to ME and I made no such call.  I wouldn't let her off the hook, so she put me on hold and then came back with this whopper - no packages that contain screeners are going anywhere until after Christmas.  Apparently there are bins and bins of them and poor Fed Ex just can't handle it, complained to the "shipper" and the shipper, whose name I now have, told them it would be fine to hold them until after Christmas.  Which means that not only do they hold them until then, it will then take them many days to get them to everyone.  I really wonder if the studios, who spent a LOT of money doing these, knows that their representative in charge of getting them out, just effectively killed some folks chances of getting nominations.  Because some people will now not be able to see them in time to nominate.

Why didn't they let the USPS share in some of the deliveries!

Or UPS or any other mail delivery company??

I mentioned USPS because deliveries from FedX or UPS occasionally go through the post office for delivery, at least for us.

And I am settled down for the evening.

Tomorrow morning I will be up early to mail three more Christmas packqes before I head down to Toyland.  Around noon, i will head to Carol Studios for the orchestra reading of the new scores for SUPERMAN that I helped Joshie proofread. It will be a long day.

Good evening.  We're in a blizzard warning, but I don't think it's started to snow yet

I'm really kind of glad we're going to have a snow storm tonight.  It gives me a good reason not to go to the office tomorrow.  I was starting to get "advice" calls from people and I really don't want to hear that right now.

Richard and I went out to deliver some groceries to my Mother and to get some dinner.  When we arrived home, there was a lovely package on the front porch from dear DR Elmore!  Thank you, friend of friends  :-*

Is this part of the advice you don't want to hear or gossip to make you nervous?  Yup, just stay away from it and be yourself. :)

Hooray! One check has arrived fromPhiladelphia. The big question is what's going on with the composer's daughter?


I didn't know that Sondheim had a daughter!

That is crazy. Fed ex took the orders. How can they not deliver them? And for the person to tell them it would be fine to wait till after Christmas. I hope you put them in their place! Ridiculous.
