You know what's frustrating?

MattsPenguin · October 2010

Here's my UPS frustration:

I'm expecting a package today (with my discounted cards & pockets purchases), and it's coming on UPS. The UPS location is like 3 blocks from my house. It was "out for delivery" at 5am. But it won't get to my house until almost 7pm. This has happened every time I have something shipped. I swear the driver makes my stuff last, since it's right next to his home base.

I just check UPS all day long, and, even though I know it won't be there until 7pm, I keep hoping it says "delivered".

What is frustrating you today?

Photoshop.

USCIS.

My complete and utter inability to make a decision without asking everyone I know for an opinion and then second and triple guessing it.

The three second lifespan on my Droid Incredible's battery.

FutureMrsTR · October 2010

I'm really tired and I want to go home. But I have an eye dr appointment at 4:30 so I have to make it through that first.

We're moving on Nov 14 and I just want to do it NOW.

MattsPenguin · October 2010

Celles - time for a new phone? Or is it new and just sucks?

TR - I didn't hear that you guys made it official to move. Where? NC/SC? Did you get jobs? CONGRATS!

Hmmm . . . must go over to the DIY board (or work)

[Deleted User] · October 2010

I'm pretty sure our UPS guy hates me. If I'm expecting something and it looks like rain, I leave a note on the door asking for the package to be brought back to the UPS place for pickup if I'm not home (I don't even know if this is allowed, though). And every time, he leaves it on the front step in the rain. Luckily so far nothing has been ruined since we got to it in time.

Today, my bosses are frustrating me. It's way too long a story to tell, suffice it to say that they clearly have no freaking clue what we actually do in our department and they expect us to perform miracles.

It's new and I love it to pieces. It just needs to be charged twice a day with normal use, and I'm constantly losing the charger.

cengle · October 2010

I have a UPS frustration as well--H ordered some wine and it took the company almost 3 weeks to ship it out, and then UPS had to ship it back b/c it got "damaged" in transit. Bitches broke my wine bottles. Not cool, UPS.

MattsPenguin · October 2010

Seshat - I guess at least I have a covered porch. I just wish he would put it inside our front door (it's a duplex, so unlocked) to avoid theft. I'm already nervous about wedding presents. Maybe that will be when it's good that he doesn't do it until 7pm.

Hmm, or that's why they don't do it until late. Never thought if it that way. (do you like my stream of consciousness?)

Sorry about your bosses. GOOD LUCK!

MattsPenguin · October 2010

JCBSJR - that thread is really funny! It's like you keep hitting your head on the wall. I'm also really annoyed at how her quoting is AFTER her response.

TR - Wilmiington, DE? That's back home, right? My family lives there. Congrats on the new place, regardless of whether or not it's long-long-term.

kikibaby · October 2010

My co-worker is standing outside my cubicle making copies right now... and coughing all over and touching everything. She keeps saying 'I'll stay away from you guys because I'm sick'.

You know what would be a great way to do that? STAY HOME.

[QUOTE]I always have my UPS things shipped to my job. One, because my house is close to a high school and kids walking home from school run towards anything shiny and new. And two, because I too cannot stand getting home and having something not there - especially if it's because it needed a signature! Then you have to wait until the next day because of course the UPS truck isn't back yet so that you can get your stuff off the truck. Just lame.......LAME I TELL YOU!!!!

Yeah, my friends/coworkers do that. But I never think about it. Hmmm . . next time I order something, perhaps I will do that.

I had to check out what culd be so frustrating on the DIY board... HOLY HAT BATMAN! What a royal biatccch. I never thought I would feel that way about someone on theknot, but there you have it. She is an idiot.

Bubbalub · October 2010

Celles, my Incredible only needs charging 1x per day or so. Sometimes there is an app or something running in the background. I second Jen's suggestion of taking it in to have it checked.

Stackeye210 · October 2010

Bubbalub - your smile is infectious! I love it.

FutureMrsTR · October 2010

No, jcbsjr, that girl is cah-razy. And I really hope she's not a doctor. Or at least not one I ever get treated by. Yikes.

Posted by jcbsjr[/QUOTE]

See I get super ADD excited about wedding stuff sometimes, and felt like I was sending tons of emails to my WP at first. I felt like I was bothering her, since it was May-June and she had just had baby a few months earlier and was prime wedding season. But she said it was fine. Now I'm laying low until December, when I go to Cincy.

We are friends on FB though! However I have yet to meet her in person.

While I can see why she got defensive, her posts were uncalled for and she came off as a total stuck up bitch. As I told her, in not so many words.

LesPaul · October 2010

She's got a buddy now. Some chick with a SN of 'pinkstink'. I wonder if that is in reference to the hand gesture?

Ugh, I went for a record check in March, I didn't get mine until mid July. I had to wait 3 weeks for a signature. Why couldn't the moron just sign it then and there? This was before they were backed up too.

I'm annoyed with the weather. FI and I came for a surprise visit over the weekend and now we're stuck here because the rain and wind is so bad we don't want to risk driving on the highway. Yesterday the highway was closed and I'm glad we didn't go back home because the power was out for almost 24 hours. We're stuck here until at least tomorrow.

I really hope Calgary is better with background checks than Ontario.

And I don't think it's anything running in the background on my Droid. I think it's the Internet running in the foreground, along with Pandora and occasionally Angry Birds... *cough*

It probably will be. Normally, you can walk in and walk out with it, but they had some big policy change. They're provinical though, so you should be fine =) Once you hit 4.5 months though, I'd go get it. I made the mistake of waiting .
