today was to be the most exciting day of the week. rob okayed buying a dyson vacuum and today was the arrival date. i sat on the couch watching a mrs. marple mystery waiting for the best gift of the week to arrive. i watched the ups vehicle drive by my house and turn the corner. a few minutes it was back, sitting right out side the house. i was occupied with getting the dog to lay down when it drove away about five minutes after it pulled up. i looked around trying to see if the driver was a secret ninja and had placed the package on my front door without me seeing them. it was not there. i looked across the street to see if it was left on a door step there. nothing. i came inside, through the magic of tracking numbers, got online to check the delivery status. this is what i found:
| 07/15/2008 | 11:33 A.M. | A CORRECT STREET NUMBER IS NEEDED FOR DELIVERY. UPS IS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION |
what!!? i don't have a correct street number... what does that mean??
so i called ups and had a great conversation filled with laughter. and was told it would be sent tomorrow. (TOMORROW! i have to wait. what about dropping back by, i will wait in the street with my cell phone on, i could even come to the facility.) so i told her that would be alright and i looked forward to getting it the next day.
this is what i found on the site after the conversation:
