pull up dipstick. wipe off tip with clean paper towel. dip the stick into the engine (dipstick tube) and count to 5. then pull out just enough so you can see the LOW and HIGH indicators, no need to pull all the way out. it should be near the HIGH indicator but not over.

if you put too much oil in, you can use either an extractor to suction oil out of the dipstick tube, or the messy way is to loosen the oil filter (dont pull it out) and let the oil drip out from the bottom. do not try to let oil out from the plug unless you have a fumoto valve where you can stop mid stream. like taking a pee, once you let go, it's hard to stop. haha
Thanks guys for the answers and not giving me a hard time. If the reading is the same in the morning, I'll probably just ask the techs to handle it when I take it in for the install.

I know it was, I'm accustomed to your humor from the other threads.

Seriously though, I need to unofficially claim you guys as my go to car guys since the husband doesn't know jack.
