I'd say he packed my paper bag. He chucked picrel in loose instead of putting them in an antistat baggie and then put a bunch of heavy stuff in on top.
He also substituted an LM555NC for the NE555 I ordered without consultation. With an NE555, the output timing is dependent on temperature and supply voltage and the trigger pin has a higher priority. With an LM555NC, the output timing is relatively independent of temperature and supply voltage and the threshold pin has a higher priority. Now for what I'm doing that doesn't matter a shit, but he didn't ask or even mention the substitution.
I also had to check in the folds of the paper bag for one of the loose tantalum capacitors.
Harrumphing my tits off.
