holding my breath...

"hi, this is Mr. ICan'tCopyAnAddress, from UPS in Redmond... i'm calling for Kiley..."
"this is her."
"oh! ok, i'm calling because we have a package for you and i'm trying to get the correct address"
"that would be good... considering it's been almost 3 weeks..."
"*uneasy laugh* the address i have here is 12707 120th Street..."
"that's wrong."
"o...k, let me get a pen here and write down the correct address..."
"it's ONE-TWO-SEVEN-ZERO-SEVEN, ONE-HUNDRED-TWENTIETH AVENUE NORTHEAST, SUITE ONE-HUNDRED..."
(i don't think i could have spelled it out or enunciated my words more clearly... i felt like i was talking to a child... but hey, whatever it takes, right?)
"ok, great, that will be delivered tomorrow"
"great. i'll be waiting."
"have a nice day"
"oh i will... as soon as they get here"
"*uneasy laugh* bye"

so... tomorrow it is...
no problem...
that's just... ya know...
20 days from the day i ordered them...
18 days from when they were shipped...
EIGHTEEN days!!
yeah, that sounds like "3-7 business days, not including weekends" to me!
then there's the 8 days, from the day they delivered it to the wrong address, it would take to "track it down and re-route it"...
tomorrow would be day 7 of those 8 days...
RAR!
i'm happy... but at the same time i'm still pissed off...
it's a mixed emotion.
