On numerous occasions I have done just as you describe and missed deliveries. I would extend the law to state that if you work from home to wait on someone to perform some service, whether that be work on the home or otherwise you can also expect that something will come up and they will need to reschedule. And as for the large monitor - I have one of those Dell's at the office - maybe I need one home too. I also can provide evidence to support this law.

The next thing we need to figure out is who tells these shipping people where we are. But, in all seriousness, i wonder why the shipping companies can't solve this problem. Like, They have all these UPS stores and fed-ex stores at every corner. Why not just give you a choice of nearby locations to pick up from. If you are not home, drop it off in the nearest fedex or ups store. Exactly! The next thing we need to figure out is who tells these shipping people where we are.

That way it's easy to get *everything* shipped to work. Even if i'm not at the office, our shipping dept is. Your law matches my experience though.
