Making Fun of FedEx

… or, “So I didn’t actually expect to get my package, did I?”

My cell phone died earlier this week. In technical terms, the charger-connector-thingee broke. And that means I no longer have a working phone. Therefore, I am dying of loneliness, because I have been cut off from the outside world (except for Twitter, Facebook, email, and the entire blogosphere). So I’m sure you’ll understand, because of my extreme loneliness, why I’m justified in being so hard on the FedEx guy… But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Seized with panic at the demise of my phone, I immediately after waiting about 6 to 8 hours logged into Verizon’s website, and I ordered a new one. Simple enough, it seemed. A trés kewl model with purple highlights, a pop-out QWERTY keyboard, built-in MP3 capability, and a 2 megapixel digital camera. And I understand it can even make phone calls, too!

Did FedEx Finally Deliver?

If you recall, last week I was waiting for my case of wine to be delivered. The business to which I had it delivered was open and staffed all week. But on Monday and Tuesday, FedEx’s tracking said, “Delivery exception: Customer not available or business closed,” which was just wrong.

My adventure started when Wine.com sent me a special offer. I had ordered a couple cases from them last year. I drink a glass of red wine every night. At first, it was an attempt to reduce my blood pressure. Didn’t work. But I did discover wine enthusiasm. I’m now a wine geek, or at least a wanna-be wine geek. (Can you be a true wine geek on less than $15 a bottle?)
