Have to sign for a Scott Rolen jersey that arrives today, so scheduled an early Doc appointment for my bad knee then am hanging out the rest of the day to be here. I'm sure there are better ways to spend a vacation day, but oh well.
Does anyone else waste a day off to be at home when package arrives?

I had to do a double take when I saw "babysitter" and "package" together!!!

ROFL yeah I can see why that sentence can be taken out of context

Not a whole day off but I have taken long lunches when I knew a jersey was expected. My mailman and UPS guy are awesome. If I am not at home they will go by my work (only 2 blocks away) to make sure I get it personally. Can't ask for more than that!

Never taken a whole day since I have a package room at my building but I didn't really get anything done.

More than once, I must say. Also, if I checked the tracking number and showed it was at the house, I left early :)

Like some others, I have all packages delivered to work where a someone is guaranteed to be there to sign for them. Plus, I open it right when I get it because my co-workers like to see what the next new item is.

Well I don't know if it is a good thing, but my mail doesn't come till about 5-6 pm. Its good to me because it will come right when I get home/right after, but I have never heard of anyone's mail coming that late. If it is shipped FedEx or UPS then I like to be home.
