View Full Version : The waiting game

I am waiting for two cycling related packages at the moment. Both items were not available locally, so I ordered them online. One was not really ordered, but it was available online and not locally and had to be shipped to me.

Now I am sitting here at work, looking for the delivery trucks, wondering if I am going to get my schwag today.

Do you like the feeling of anticipation when you are expecting something, or dislike it?

I need instant gratification, so I dislike the waiting game. I always try to buy locally if possible.

Discuss.

I always think the best part of getting something is waiting for it. I love and hate waiting for bike schwag.

Most be rare parts, if you can't find them in the DFW area.

TwoFish LockBlock and BikeBlock are in one package. The other was from looking a gift horse in the mouth.

This happens to me constantly. I almost always have something on order. DVDs, videogames, bike parts, sexy lingerie...

Pong is out of stock? See if they will let you get Asteroids or Defender instead.

It's actually Dead Space:

Pong/Assteroids/Defender are probably equally difficult to source too... At least an original boxed version. :)
