And speaking of the PO (remember... YOU started it, Tibs)... I was expecting an Amazon delivery yesterday ("out for delivery") and it did not arrive. I checked "status" today to see there was "attempted delivery" at 15h23 on 17jun14. I was HOME. I see/saw no ticket on any door. There is a sentence on status that says "contact carrier for further instructions". So after calling FedEx and speaking with Yasmine and getting the 22-digit tracking number (
*) EVENTUALLY correct, she says it's a FedEx "SmartPost" problem and transfers me over to Achmed. He (with sitars and zils twinkling in the background) says they will make only ONE attempt... after that I have to go to the PO to get package (see how this ties in, Tibs?).
So: This is a PROBLEM with the MAIL delivery person. I was HOME and LUCID when the mail was delivered yesterday. I vividly recall saying to myself (hearing the distinctive roar of the Jeep), "Wow! Mail before dusk!!! She must be doing only quickies on her route today!" (You see, if mail arrives ANY time before 18h00, I consider it a rare treat.) She NEVER "attempted delivery". No way in HELL did she "attempt delivery". And now I have to traipse to the PO (see how this ties in, Tibs?) to get the package. The bint! I'll be watching for her today.

(
*) Why does a number have to be 22 digits??? That is in the SEXTILLIONS. Does a human even have that many cells??? If the current world population is 7.3 billion, that 22-digit tracking number could be used to track about 1.3 TRILLION packages per person with each package having a unique number. Amazing.
