She Didn't Mean Anything
I love my Audi. When I got home from vacation I went into the garage and gave my Audi a nice big hug. Then I confessed that I had been driving a Taurus for the past week but that it, "didn't mean anything." I think the

Leaving on a Jet Plane
But unlike John Denver, I do know exactly when I'll be back again, and I'm looking forward to my departure. He obviously was not talking about going to Hawaii.

Flight left and arrived on time. I watched some TV shows on my laptop. Free drinks.
FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 10
As of late last night, the tracking page showed that the package was on the truck for delivery - scheduled for today. And 19.18 this evening, it was delivered ... much to my surprise ... and only a full week late on a two-day delivery time. Never again.
FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 9
No package, still. I called again and the lady finally got through to someone at the local deliver place but she was put on hold for so long that she finally gave up. Then she transferred me to a "trace agent" who also tried to contact someone at
FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 8
No delivery and no updates to the FedEx tracking page, so I called again. This time they put me through to some dude in Pittsburg. He calls the local delivery center place and then explains to me that my package is amongst several thousand other packages (maybe a pile of

FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 4

FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 3
Delivery day! Nothing happened throughout the morning ... and then the FedEx tracking page was updated to show the dreaded shipment exception, with the explanation, cannot locate recipient. Such crap.
You see, I live in a new neighborhood and most maps do not include these new roads, yet. The week I
FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 2
No update to the FedEx tracking page. I know this because I check every 15 to 20 seconds. The FedEx web servers never know load like they do when I'm expecting a delivery.
FedEx Ground Sucks, Day 1
Ordered a cable-only (no bulky power brick) Empower airplane adapter for my PowerBook from Kensington, today. The order was processed and shipped today (speedy). Delivery is scheduled for Sep 21 via FedEx Ground (crap). The tracking number shows FedEx's receipt of the item in Lewisberry, PA. And it&
