Slice of Life: Electronic Delivery Edition

We are down in Kevin’s office when I glance out the window and see the Fed-Ex guy lugging a very large computer box up the walk. The new server has arrived.*

I open the door and we make small talk while I sign. Then Kevin finishes putting his shoes on and come out onto the porch…

KEVIN: (overcome with tech lust) Oh baby, I’ve been waitin’ for youuu…

FEDEX GUY: (with mock-chagrin) Well, damn!

Well played, Fed-Ex Guy. Well played.
