you open your mailbox. inside is:
- a package you did not expect to receive (but which you know the contents of, and are thrilled to open)
- a stack of very unpleasant Life Things that you would really rather prefer to leave there, because they all either lead to dreary phone calls or bill payments
which do you open first?
(i went with the package, which in hindsight was probably a bad idea as nothing in the stack was remotely pleasant, but hey at least it's open now...)
