I usually get mine on Tues. Though I can see how it can seem like Thurs/Friday. For people who have their systems set up to check automatically, most times the update will install without any prompting. If it requires a restart, the system will restart on its own within 24-48 hours after getting the update depending on the criticality of the update.
Official 8.1/Denim for the Icon?

One thing I really hate about patch tuesday on windows 8 is how stupid it is. So it updates automatically and then warns me I have 3 days to restart. I have a yoga 2 pro and I let it sleep if I'm not using it. 5 days later (not 3) it interupts what I'm doing and demands a restart. Why can't it say "Oh wait a sec you're trying to sleep? This would be a good time to restart!" but no it doesn't' do that. Windows 7 on the other hand notices that I've been idle for ~8 hours and says oh yeah this is a great time to restart while you're not using the computer. I hate the fact that it closes open programs, but I at least prefer this method.
HAHA yea, just stirring the pot.
Well I did just install DP last night, so it would have made sense if Cyan/Denim dropped the next day.
If you're looking for someone official to complain to you can try this: Region Leadership | Verizon Wireless
The good news: They actually do call you back (yes, I was surprised, too) and pretty quickly at that.
The bad news: They say they don't know anything either, but you will have someone to rant to.

I am on PFD as well and also getting an update. Seems far too small to be Cyan/Denim but I'll post back.
Preview for Developers, it's an early version of the OS update but without the accompanying firmware update

Eh, It said it was a critical update that would be installed whether I like it or not by 10/27. But it's 8.10.14192.280 Preview For Developers Update. So nothing from Verizon looks like.

Could this update be in preparation for Cyan/Denim? Nah, that's far too optimistic of a view...
