The past two weeks have just been one annoyance after another. Timing errors mainly. And some, not errors, but just bad timing not in my control.
On Tuesday I was waiting for a package to be delivered. I'm SO excited about this package, but it should have it's own post. I also had to go out. So I checked my phone and my emails, saw nothing from the shipper, and went out. It took longer than I expected and when I got home...yup. A notice saying I had missed the delivery. But I could pick it up at a gas station, 6km from my home, approximately 11 minutes according to Google. But at a "bad" intersection, the type of location that you can get into from only certain directions unless you make radical lane changes and cut someone off...At least 15 minutes. The notice said after 12pm the next day.
So, Wednesday, I went straight from my lunch supervision job (get out at 12:10). First I stopped at my physiotherapist and paid a bill, then I headed on to the gas station. Got there at 12:30. They had had their shipment drop off for the day--and my package wasn't there!
Today, my daughter wanted to go to the walk-in clinic because her ear has been hurting. It is in a mall next to this gas station (but you can't get from one to the other!). Got to the walk-in clinic. They were having a staff lunch party and would be closed for another 45 minutes. Drove over to the gas station and got gas (4 cents a litre more than yesterday!) and went in for the package.
It wasn't there again!!
Came home, had all the after school madness, searched my email for a tracking number (came up with three numbers), tried to track it online, but it said I was not home for the delivery on Tuesday and there was no further tracking. Had to try a couple times but finally got through to customer service who was very helpful, though she could not tell me where the package was, she said it was in the system to be delivered to my door tomorrow.
We'll see.
And yes, the package is knitting related!
