too good not to post
I hate Amazon and I hate UPS.
Well, fuck me.

Great news, right?
There’s no package at my door. There isn’t one of those “UPS Info Notices” with, “Package left at Apartment So-and-So.”
Was UPS even here? Does one of my neighbors have my package? Are they planning on giving it to me or did they see it and think, “Ooooh, he’ll never know.”
Fuck. Me.
I hate it when UPS leaves packages for me. Unless it’s an emergency — i.e., they’re delivering on Christmas Eve like last year — I really prefer to get the info-notice slip, have the package held, and go right up the road to pick it up myself (assuming I’m not home to get it, I should clarify).
And this of course assumes the driver didn’t just scan the package and its still in the back of his truck. Yeah, great.
And now, of course, how the fuck am I going to complain to Amazon? “Oh, uh, we show it was delivered,” followed by: “It wasn’t? Prove it.” I don’t even know how to file a claim through UPS.
Y’know, for all people talk about how convenient online ordering is, it really isn’t. It’s a totally different kind of headache.
All Blogged Out
Well, no, but I think its safe to say my “blogging batteries” are in need of a recharge before I get back up into “blog whore land”. My posting has been sporadic all month, and I think it’s probably a good bet I won’t be back into blog-whore-land until the new year.
