Default the wait is killing me...

Of course, being the day before a 4 day weekend, it's dragging today already....

but now I know my new camera lens (first purchase beyond the kit!!! a 50mm 1.8) is sitting waiting for me to come home, it's making it drag even more!!!!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!

just had to whine to someone who would understand. :P

Heck, I've been waiting for the holidays to arrive since last January. Not because I like the holidays, but there is so much time off from work!
This working business always gets in the way of my play time.......

windrider - OMG! haha. I was petrified they'd need a signature and not leave it. But if they did, my neighbor took care of it. (in the UPS tracking it said they gave it to a woman, who would be my downstairs elderly neighbor. best neighbor ever 99.9% of the time :P)

Otherwise I would have had to wait until Friday!

Now, 1 hour (or until 5 minutes after my boss leaves) to go.........

LOL. I know the feeling. Nothing is worse than waiting for a new toy to arrive. I'm looking at getting the same lens. Post some pics when you get a chance.

I just recieved my 50mm a couple days ago. The last one kind of blew up when it rolled off a counter top. Now I'm waiting for a couple more V4's that I ordered the other day. They have to come from Hong Kong. I'm gettin' all itchy waiting.

The anticipation for new equipment, especially a lens, is always a killer.

I have some lighting equipment (lightstand, bracket, and umbrella) on the way; the package should be here next week.
