Fucking FedEx, the final chapter

The package their website told me would be delivered Monday, then Tuesday,
then Wednesday left New Jersey last night at 8:15 and finally got to
Massachusetts at 12:15 this morning.
But, in keeping with my luck with this package, they sent it to the
facility in Franklin MA, 15 miles south of here. Then, they decided it
should actually be delivered to me from the Framingham office 17 miles east
of me.
So, they drove it past me to get it to this other office. Given that it
got to Framingham at 8:15 this morning, it either passed me as I drove down
495, or as I sat here in my office.
I have to say that in this whole chain of delivery the Framingham office is
the only one that lived up to the “Express” in the FedEx name. It arrived
there at 8:15 and was put on a truck to bring it to me at 8:16. That’s
certainly better then the 2 ½ days in Hong Kong or the 17 hours in Newark.
Finally at 10:29 this morning, my replacement parts for the ones lost 13
days ago came in.
Then a chase around the building ensued as the receiver didn’t see my name
on the package and started walking it around asking folks if it was theirs.
I finally caught up with him and asked if it was my missing package.
“Hey! Your name is on it!” he said. “That’s pretty small type.”
So, that’s my theory on how it got lost. Small type.
But, I’ve got the camera adapter for the iPad. Now, I can upload photos
without going through my computers at home. That was what I was after, and
I’m glad I finally have the ability to do that.
