Haha, I can just see this as a GI Joe episode endcap. It goes so well with your sig!
39 y/o, 13 years as a tech and I'm still a bleeding idiot. Thanks for pointing that out (the image vs. webpage thing, not the idiot thing. I already knew about the idiot thing).
Still haven't gotten mine, but I did manage to get a birthday card from my grandmother sent from a small town near Utica and that only took two days to cross the country to San Francisco.
How a piece of hand-stamped mail can get here from an equal or further distance in significantly less time has me wondering whether they were actually sent out on the 12th or not.

Being in a company that has to work with USPS on a regular basis, it doesn't really surprise me.
We used to be able to ship priority mail faster from SLC, UT to New York than SLC, UT to Phoenix, AZ because of the way they route their mail. The company switched over to FedEx completely about 5 years ago and we've never looked back.
Not that I'm saying PA should do so. Just saying this sort of anamoly happens.
Roseburg, Oregon has received it's one and only 3 day pass.

Doofenshmirtz: Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
I have strong negative feelings about the USPS that I won't detail here. Suffice it to say, I have little confidence in them at the best of times.
Well, you're dealing with a company that has the gall to charge you extra in order to ensure that they actually deliver it and are held responsible if they don't. The idea that I have to purchase separate insurance for a package always manages to infuriate me. The only service they offer:take an item somewhere else and be certain that it arrives there without damage to the contents, should be warranted simply because it's what they do.
"Yeah, we know you told us to deliver your package, but we just smashed it up and threw it out the window of the truck for the hell of it. You should have paid our optional 'we'll actually do it' fee if you wanted us to do what you paid for."
Meh. It'll probably be in the mail today or over the weekend. Incidentally, what's the process if they don't arrive?

I work for a place that gets hundreds of packages a day. This pretty much describes every carrier, ever.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get an RGA on some shattered glassware.

I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."
So my question is now, do I have to go to the Sheraton to get my lanyard?

I'm pretty sure the lanyard has been in the swag bag all three times I've been so far but I'm old and my memory fails me.
Then again, I've been in the computer field (until I retired 4 years ago to raise my girls) that I must have a dozen or so lanyards floating around here........

If I remember correctly the convention center staff/security handed you a lanyard as you came in for the first time after the swag bag last year
I got my lanyard at the door when I showed my pass the first time last year. The swag bag though was harder LOL some guy was hording a laundry cart of them back near the wait room and handing them out to young people, mainly pretty girls ... so I had to go ask for one >.<
Got mine today.
Mr. Gameboy stole all mine and beat up my SP (he was standing on it).
EDIT: Yeah I had to blow on the cartridges and the gameboy (also had to insert the game in a certain way) a few times to get it to work. OH! the memories!

I don't think you're allowed to *fret* until the end of next week. The following week begins the *panic* stage.
