In Which I Once Again Rail Against the USPS

In Which I Once Again Rail Against the USPS

Maybe the Postal Service is all stressed out about the economic downturn just like the rest of us.  Even still, I don’t understand how they get so confused.  I ordered something off the Internets on Tuesday of last week.  Said item was shipped on Wednesday.  I had it sent three day shipping.  Let’s all do the math together:

Wednesday + 3 days = Saturday

Very nice, class.

The package didn’t arrive yesterday, to my great annoyance, and so I tracked it using the link in my confirmation email.  I was dismayed to notice that it hadn’t actually been shipped until Thursday (contrary to my tracking email) and it took from Thursday to Monday to get to Austin.

I don’t live in Austin.

But somehow, at the same exact time as the box is in Austin, it is also in Oklahoma City!  I’m not sure how this all works, but I know this can’t be right.

I just want my package. It’s now two days late, and at this rate…I may never get it.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
