Mostly whimsy and drivel of no consequence. And CHEESE.
And THIEF!!!
Yes, here I am following that time-old adage: Post something nice and then post something NOT NICE. I think Mark Twain said it. I’m related to him, you know.
It’s just that here I am, already dealing with the traumatic idea that our seemingly nice USPS delivery man, who rings the doorbell to hand us packages or catalogs when there’s a surfeit of mail for our box, took an Very Important International Package (‘kay – overstating A LITTLE, perhaps, but it’s important to ME) right out of my hands and evidently threw it, smiling all the while, into the great and dark unending ABYSS. And now…
AND NOW (visually we just needed a break there) I find according to that new-fangled, scientific “tracking information” that my much-anticipated package containing a USB hub/card reader combo device was signed for on January 25, 2007 at 8:57 a.m. BY A STRANGER. No, not someone at this house. No, not someone WITH MY NAME (as indicated on the package). Okay, FedEx, with your electronic signature thingies and sharp uniforms and all that jazz, WHERE IS MY PACKAGE??? WHO IS “KGLENN”???
Okay, the device is for my Parent’s computer. But I’M the one who will hook it up. I am the B. Consulting Services, Inc., Independent Contractor (as indicated ON THE BOX) who will deal with this business matter.
NOW I’m an angry consumer. Watch out, PACKAGE BOYS!!! My wrath is… angry…

Well, FedEx not only has better customer service phone hours than the USPS but they knew where my package was.
Evidently, after FedEx package man delivered my package to the wrong address he was notified with his satellite link-up to SPACE and via his red-line phone to NASA that he’d made a mistake. Therefore, he retrieved said package. They evidently don’t make this information available online (because OH, the embarrassment).
So my package comes Monday. And KGLENN, whoever you are, I’m WATCHING YOU (or, I should say, I WOULD watch you if I knew who the hell you were).

KGlENN…hmm. Glenn Kubricky, perhaps? I KNEW IT!

THAT would explain why I always see him lurking behind the arbor vitae. And YOU thought he was working.
