Too much oil?

Hey I have a just purchased 2003 Boxster; the dealership I bought it from (a VW shop) did an oil change but the dash meter has ALL the bars lit and the dipstick shows oil about half way up the bit of red plastic above the upper line (but not as far as the metal). I've read conflicting stories on a number of forums: do I get some drained off because running it with too much oil will be bad, or am I better just letting it burn off over time? I don't have the ability to drain it at home so it's a pay for job sadly but will gladly do it if i'm endangering my engine.

Any help for this Boxster newbie gratefuly received
