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.
