Just wanted to vent a little bit, because I know how some of you will be able to understand how I'm feeling about this:
Canada Post won't let me get my laser until Tuesday. It's Friday... It's here and in the post office, but they won't let me get it. Here's why:
I've been waiting for a while for some lasers to be delivered to me - 2 Greenies (50mw), 300mw cute Red, and a 1.4W blue (445nm)
So I'm waiting for ALL of these - in the meantime I have *NO* lasers at all. Not even a cheap 5mw red laser. Nothing. (Long story behind a focalprice laser that stopped working, it was junk but I love the host)
Anyway - so here's where my story sucks.
I woke up around 9am, pretty early for me on a vacation day but the dog needed out so I let her out, and did my tidy up, yadda yadda. The post lady who delivers packages usually shows up around 12-13:00. Well, I'm figuring I've been waiting all week long, and I'm home all day... I'll just wait.
14:00. Nothing.
15:00. Nothing.
It's getting on 16:15 so I head down to the mailbox and check my mail and boom! There's a door knocker. (For those of you who don't know, the post office will leave a paper that hangs off of your door to let you know they attempted delivery but you weren't home)
Well... I don't remember them coming at all... no doorbell, no knocking and at no point was I in the shower, working out, listening to music with headphones, or anything that could have made me miss someone ringing my doorbell. At all.
She didn't even BOTHER to check to see if I was home. She just left the knocker in my mailbox? WTF!
Okay, fine. The post office is open until 17:00, it's only 16:20 at this point and it's like 2 minutes from my house, LITERALLY.
I run back, hop in the car and head down to the post office.
I drive by as I'm pulling into the parking lot and think to myself "Looks dark in there. I wonder... did they close early?"
So I walk up to the front door, give a tug and no go. Locked.
I start scanning the door, just checking to see if there's something posted there:
Yup. They closed at 16:00 today.
This is where I was ticked off: Not only did the delivery lady NOT even attempt to deliver my package, but she dropped off the delivery slip AFTER the post office had closed. There was *NO* possible way I was getting this laser today even if I wanted to.
Anyway - I've been waiting for what seems like an eternity, (At least 3 weeks for ANY laser to show up) and when I finally get an opportunity... It's a false opportunity. Can't get the package if I wanted to.
So as it sits now, I have to wait until Tuesday morning at 8:00, because they're closed Monday because of New-years happening, (Which is fine, I'm off Monday too) but then they open at 8:00 (When I'm scheduled to work) and close at 17:00 (when I get off of work)
I basically HAVE to take time off of work to get my package that they actively didn't bother to deliver.
Gah. Stupidness.
My only hope is that all parts and pieces made it okay without being subject to intertia and gravity. Here's to hoping anyway.
