Elation to Deflation

As most of us did, I spent some of my ford pass points on accessories. The order was placed Wednesday evening and as these things go, I got a tracking number yesterday. Hot diggity, this stuff ships from a location about an hour away. I may get it on Friday and have the chance to install some of it on a lazy WFH Friday.

this morning I check the tracking to a fan fare of idiocy. The craziest thing is, this box probably drove through Atlanta on the way to its current destination.

Doh! Had similar things happen too. Once had a package arrive in my town in NY ... then next day it was in California. Fortunately it think it was flown back to NY instead of driven, so the delay wasn't too bad.

Another time my package, mailed from continental US, got a vacation through Guam! Fortunately Guam did not capsize, despite Hank's fears, from the additional weight of my package, so i eventually got it!

That’s why I never check on shipments.
The Stupidity is breathtaking.
it serves no purpose knowing about it.

The pissing and moaning, the complaining is such a waste of life.

I totally got that!

I left my baseball hat at my Mom’s house in Minneapolis. I live a few miles north of her. She sent it to me in the mail and it ended up in Arizona for two weeks before it was sent to me. Laughable and sad at the same time.

Hey, the postal workers need something to do!

Where I live, USPS has been FUBAR ever since they started "streamlining" their operations. In our case, that meant adding one more city stop in the delivery process. Which is hardly streamlining anything...

Now, I often have a delivery date that changes to "arriving late" on what was supposed to be the Delivery Day. It arrives a day later.
