<P mce_keep="true">36 minutes and counting till I get my GTA SE. I hate seeing all my friends playing and not being able too. GRRRR [8o|]

I have two more cases to bludgeon into submission before I can leave work and pick up my safety deposit box. [bx]

I got my copy siting right here at the office with me. Staring at me.. calling out to me .... urging me to go home and play with it... unfortunetly I have to do an interview at in an hour... and they have not setup the 360 in the gameroom in the office yet....

<P mce_keep="true">About 3 more hours until I can fly outta work. Day's going by pretty quickly otherwise... lots of testing to do today for some reason.
<P mce_keep="true">One of our client managers mentioned GTA at the outset of our team teleconference meeting. Caused our tech director to scratch his head a bit and make a funny comment.
<P mce_keep="true">Okay, I can't wait. C'mon Time...

The big brown truck hasn't arrived yet. i keep checking the front door and no package. Gamestop never sent me a tracking # either. Says it shipped on the website. I'll just keep praying.

<P mce_keep="true">Well, I have tickets to see Lou Reed tonight, so no Nico for me until tomorrow at 5. You gotta hate when one of your top musical icons comes to town on the same day that a game I've been waiting a long time for hits. Come to think about it, it's not too bad of a problem to have.[H]

I did the same thing this morning. I went to bed late and slept like crap, so I got up early and spent the rest of the morning waiting. I was hoping to play a little bit before work, but noon came and went with no package. I napped for an hour and had to drag myself to work, where I remain until midnight. Hopefully i'll have something big and brown waiting for me when I get home to keep me company while I do laundry.

<P mce_keep="true">I did the Bestbuy.com preorder 'cause I live in the sticks and was pleasantly surprised to see them send me an e-mail saying shipped at 6:48pm Monday night for expedited (overnight air) delivery. Of course, nothing happens on the 'brown' website until a day later (3 hours ago), saying rescheduled for delivery tomorrow, 4/30.
<P mce_keep="true">It was exactly when I always expected (at order time) it to come as all games ordered this way roll, unfortunately, they oversold and underdelivered by sendinga notice of "Your Shipment is on the Way!" a day early. Seems to me on the biggest video game purchasing day EVER,they resort to exagerating to their clients and then turning into a UPS issue. I am not a fan of hanging wholesale partners out to dry and find it seedy. I sound like a codger I know but I post this because I think people should know...
