you are right, it is almost quitting time...I actually started cutting the box open when no one was around and got one flap open. Then people came back from lunch. I keep kicking it every now and again just to make sure it didn't walk away...

ahhhh...

thanks for the encouragement! Almost there...almost there...lucky today was busy, took my mind away for a few seconds at least!

Will post pictures of the grand opening tonight!

If you have a car, open it inside your car or if you're still afraid someone will see you, drive off to some remote location. That's what I did with my sub. Please post pics!

Alright, finally got off work and opened the box. Here are the pictures! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I opened it!

Sorry for the bad quality...used my BB as I couldn't wait until I got into my house.

Congrats, but what is with everyone not wanting to open it at work? I'd tear it up and put it on. Anyone asks, I'd tell 'em. New watch. Gotta put it on. You know? No you don't, but I don't care!
