Severe Weather

It's astounding how bad the weather is outside:
We know it's that bad out, because Hunter just called UPS to ask why in the living hell the enlargening pile of boxes shipped overnight at something stupid like thirty bucks each to get here by 22nd December 2006 is now, on 26th December 2006, sitting a matter of miles away from here, in a warehouse, letting the formerly edible contents of those boxes spoil further and begin to affect the more properly inedible stuff in there with them.
The answer, according to some dickweed with the United Parcel Service in Atlanta, is that the video above, taken five minutes after Hunter hung up on his lying, inebriated ass, will confirm his bullshit claim that there's a blizzard over DenverMetro today
So. For those who spent lots and lots of cash to have stuff get to Hunter by last Friday: it didn't work, because the UPS WeatherCentre are staffed by stuttering, slurring morons.
Though it should be said that one thing, sent overnight to get here on Friday, got here on Saturday. We're not sure why it was given preferrential treatment, but feel free to remind UPS of that when suing them for discrimination against the packages you sent which now sit rotting in Commerce City.
In other news: I went out in the sun, since UPS lied to us about the weather; now my head hurts; man, I hope those idiots have lots and lots of money for me.
UPDATE
According to http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/about/news/service_updates/denver_storm.html:

So, I'm not sure why that idiot in Atlanta lied to us.
And I'm really not sure why UPS aren't getting this stuff to us today.
My working hypothesis is that UPS suck.
More later....
