You know how delivery guys will always give you a time frame? Like, say, between 9 and 1?
I talked to the flooring people yesterday to see if we would need to move out of the house while the flooring is being installed, and the lady couldn't make up her mind, but she did mention that the installers would be here between 9 and 1. They only move 5 pieces per room, no breakables, and no electronics, so DH and I spent some time last night unloading the living room.
I was really tired and grumpy because I was tired, and so I went to bed last night with the living room still needing some stuff moved: Christmas tree, etc. But, I reasoned, the guys won't be here till 9, and I'll have time in the morning to finish before they get here. Because usually delivery guys show up just before the expiration of the arrival parameter, e.g. 12:45. Which would have been fine with me. I could have gotten the LR unloaded, the floor of the pantry ditto...all kinds of things.
But no. On this day, when I wanted and needed them to show up late, THEY SHOW UP AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE BLESSED MORNING.

That's just always the way it works. If you had gotten up early and gotten everything moved and sorted by 8 a.m, then they would have showed up at 1:30 p.m. And so it goes...
