Right not it’s about 4:45 pm, and I’ve been checking my Harry Potter order since 1:30 this morning.
When I pre-ordered my book, I didn’t even think to check that the 21st might be a Saturday. I figured that the release of the book would happen sometime during the week, and since I normally don’t get home from work till after 8 pm, I figured I should just have my book delivered to my desk. This way, I could show my co-workers first hand how big of a nerd I am.
But now, here I sit in my apartment, knowing full well that very shortly Amazon will tell me that my package has been delivered to my office. And I’m not there. So instead, I’m trying to figure out how best to break into the mail room on the third floor so that I can secure the 7th book and thereby have every hour between then and 9:30 am on Monday planned out.
I need this book now.

Oddly, UK and US readers will get the book later than rest of the word because of time zones. If we lived in Japan, land of the rising sun, we’d be the first to get the book.
p.s. Finished mine.
