Rev’s Thought Dump

Well, I got a hold of UPS to see if I could just pick up the package on Saturday if it was just going to sit in a warehouse in town till Monday. I got some southern lady who sounded ticked off and she said “NO, you may not pick up your package it is scheduled for delivery on Monday. Have a good day.” Click.

Then I spent an hour and a half on hold with Overnight(not)Prints. Finally I got shipping and they said they couldn’t change the delivery date or location – not true… I checked UPSs site – but I let it go. They refunded the shipping. Which is good. It’s over half the cost.

When all was said and done the guy says “Sorry we were late by a DAY.” in a sort of “what ever” voice. I said “Okay, thanks.” because I was done and I was in the middle of finishing some code so I could go home. But that kind of annoyed me a few minutes later when it sunk in. “.. late by a DAY.” Normally I can be understanding about ship times – even though I hit refresh on the package tracking over and over. But when your business model is all about.. Hrmm what was it? “Overnight” You’d think that people might expect that. Plan on it even. Oh well.. now I need to let it go… I know..

The good news? I stopped by CJs place and picked up another pair of headphones and a video camera. Hopefully I’ll get some good stuff from the conference and some interviews to boot.

Tomorrow… get Digital tapes for the camera, get glossy card stock for the lame business cards I have to print myself – fortunately they send you an image file of your soon to be printed cards so I’ll just print some up. And.. hrmm I guess I don’t need anything else. Would’ve liked that 2 gigs of ram though.
