An Ethical Dillema – WWYD*?

*What would you do, of course, but it could also be “What would Yolanda Do?”, which humorously enough would indicate my mom.

Today I was expecting the furniture store to drop off my desk (!!) and Office Depot to pick up my other desk (done and done).  I did not expect a buzz from UPS, telling me my neighbor had a package.
I figured it was something H. had ordered, but it was a bit odd that H. wouldn’t say anything about it (as she always does, and I am happy to oblige when she wants to have something picked up by me).
It was not for H. It was for the neighbor that lives in between us, and for whatever reason, because I was home, I became involved.
The box had a sticker that said “If not home, please leave in foyer.”  It also had a pink sticker that said, “Contents must be refrigerated immediately.”  The UPS man just handed me the package and left.
I felt the right thing to do would be to put the box in MY refrigerator and leave a note on the neighbor’s door.  But, I didn’t want some random box that contains god only knows what in my refrigerator.  And I didn’t want to have it sitting there in the event my neighbor couldn’t come up tonight, or I decided to leave the house, or whatever.
So I left it in front of his door, figuring if he needed to order something that had to be refrigerated immediately, it should have been 1) delivered to work or 2) picked up by a friend or 3) he could have knocked on anyone’s door and politely ask us to take care of it.  Since he did not, I felt I was not responsible. 
And yet I still feel bad.  But not bad enough to go get it and put it in my refrigerator. 

My Life is Rather Dull

I had to laugh because I was talking to a friend last night (in the context of some other things) and she said she blogs fiction because her life is really not all that interesting and she is happy that way.  I would definitely describe my life of late as happily dull and drama-free, which I prefer.  However, there is not much terribly interesting to talk about…(there was a small spat with my formerly landlady about a spot on the floor, but that is a closed case and I don’t feel comfortable blogging about it anyway)
My NEW DESK arrived bright and early today in excellent condition and I LOVE IT.  I will take pictures, I promise.  I am thinking about replacing the handles because they are very …uh… German.  Utilitarian.  And industrial looking.  (did you know they have a huge variety of drawer pulls at Target? I was surprised to find it so!)  But it is so big and nice and fabulous and it makes me happy.
Also, I did finish the Harry Potter book yesterday and was quite satisfied.  Yes, I read a 700+ page book in almost 2 days.  My father remarked, “But that book is the size of the dictionary!”  Perhaps, but a much more intersting and fast paced read.
And Erasure! Erasure is Saturday!  Whee fun! I suppose that makes my life a little less dull, eh?
ETA:  My desk is so huge and sprawling that I feel like my phone is miles away from my computer and keyboard.  Tee hee!
