What time is it?

You just can't make this stuff up. The delivery company let me know last night that our swing set would be delivered between 11:00-2:00 PM today. About 10 minutes ago, I got the following call..........

Delivery Man: Hi, this is Bill. We're at your house to deliver the swing set.

Lime: The person who called me yesterday gave me a delivery time of 11:00-2:00 PM.

Delivery Man: Well, it's 10:30, going on 11:00.

Lime: My wife isn't there right now, though she should be there between 10:45-11:00 PM. Feel free to start unloading it in the backyard. That way you can have it done by the time my wife gets there.

Delivery Man: OK. We'll do.

So, in summary, if a guy shows up 1/2 hour early for an appointment, it's OK to imply that they're on time if you can tie in that the next half-hour would put them there on time. At least that's what I think he meant with his "it's 10:30, going on 11:00" comment. I should use this tactic at Target..........

Lime: (arriving 1/2 hour early before opening pounding on door) Excuse me, I'm here to buy blueberries for my ravenous daughter!

Target employee: I'm sorry sir. We don't open until 8:00 AM.

Lime: (looking at watch) Well, it's 7:30 AM, going on 8:00 AM. So you should be open at this point.
