That's: Security Dragon!!!

That waiting is over, it's Mundane Dragon, CISSP!

The mail delivery person was later than usual today, but I forgive him. After finding my mailbox empty around 1:15 I was resigned to testing my patience for another 24 hours. About 20 minutes later my Enterphone system buzzes. My mind raced. Mail folken don't ring buzzers at apartments, do they? I press the button, "Hello?"

"Hi, I have a package that won't fit in the mail box."

THEY DOOOO!!!!!!

"I'll be RIGHT down"

I race out the door and down the stairs as fast as I can. I figure he's standing at the door ready to leave. My Enterphone system is pure crap and everyone who visits says they can't understand a word. This is one postie I don't want getting away because my reply sounded "Push off", "Green Tomatoes", or a newborn babbling in delight because toes are just the most fascinating thing in the world.

Socks don't have the same traction on carpet as shoes do.

When I hit the bottom of the stairs and tried slowing down parts of me didn't. That's ok, my ass rebounded off the stairs. I was standing like an expectant puppy in front of a very surprised looking postie still in the process of putting mail into mail boxes. "You weren't kidding about being right down."

Lacking any grace I'm sure, I said something like, "I've been waiting for this for a while. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Decorum, we don't need no stinkin' decordum.

Of my study group's core four, the four of us who made all the study sessions, three of us have passed and the fourth has a parcel pickup. Here's hoping for four out of four.
