Delayed

I thought the sandwich delivery tonight might take longer than usual because everybody is at home watching the basketball tournament, but I didn't think it would take 1 hour, 47 minutes.  The one delivery person working tonight (the other no doubt called in "sick" ahem) got a flat tire on her bike from riding over some of the huge amount of broken glass that's all over the streets in the aftermath of St Patrick's Day.  Apparently the city is not nearly as on the ball with broken glass removal as they are with snow removal.  She was unable to fix the flat and had to walk the bike back to the shop to get a different bike.  The delay was really annoying because we were really hungry (we didn't place the order until about 7:00 p.m., which is late for me) and the apartment is almost 90 degrees again, which is grumpifying.  But at least my evening sucked a lot less than the sandwich delivery woman's evening did.

Wow, that is a long time!

The other day mine took over 25 minutes to get here and I actually phoned them to check up on it, since the shop is approximately a block from here.

Jimmy John's clearly needs to update their slogan - Subs at a speed that'll make you freak (usually in a good kind of way).
