Usually Problematic Service (a.k.a Why UPS Sucks)

Okay, so I am a big grown-up and Christmas is not all about presents...

Having said that, I will NEVER NEVER EVER ship ANYTHING via UPS...especially if it is important and you probably shouldn't either.

Reason? Well, okay, so most of you know that my family and I are separated this holiday season, so that involved sending out our gifts early. I sent mine to my mom, dad and other people via FedEx...everyone got theirs...three days after I sent it. My mom sent mine via UPS on the same day I sent hers out...still not here. Tonight is Christmas Eve...there will be no presents for Christmas...which brings me back to being a grown-up. I don't need the presents, it is not about the material goods...it is however, a matter of principle.

I was less irritated with UPS, you know, holiday rush, fine, whatever, but then I found out that my package is actually in the Phoenix hub and has been here since Wednesday...today is Saturday...what the fuck (well, there goes my no objectionable content flag...) are you doing with my box? No one seems to know why I don't have it (and believe me my mom and Joe have been on the phone with them all day...until they turned their voice recording on anyways.)

So, I will not be using UPS anymore, they have upset my mother and that is unacceptable...me, I'm fine...but don't mess with my mom...

Otherwise, I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday and I'll talk to you soon.

Some Suggestions Please

Okay, so this is really to help all of us. I mean, there is at least one person in your life that drains the lifeforce right out of you. It may be someone we work with (as in my case), a loved one, possibly a perfect stranger who you just happen to encounter on a near daily basis...whoever it is, there is someone in your life that drives you absolutely nucking futs! So what I would like to see are some suggestions...what can we do with these people? Like for example tie them to a rocket a la Wyle E. Coyote and send them to the moon...or Jupiter...that would be a fantastic suggestion. Or, perhaps lock them in a room full of howling hungry wolves...hmmm...might be cruel to the wolves though. Well, anyway, you get the idea, so...any suggestions? Please...comment away!

'Tis The Season...

Well, I suppose that the "you get what you pay for" fairy would tell me "I told you so", but I really don't care. I love my tree.

This is my first for-the-house-grown-up-I'll-keep-it-for-the-next-few-years thing. So I only spent thirty bucks on the tree and I spent more than that to decorate it...if you don't like it BAH HUMBUG! I love my Charlie Brown Christmas tree!

Of course...it looks a million and one times better when it is decorated and I will probably be one of those crazy people this year to wrap empty packages and have them under the tree so if people come over it isn't completely obvious that there isn't anyone here that will have real presents under the tree...cause that is just sad. Also, now there is a tree skirt, but I didn't feel like retaking the picture, so please just use your imaginations!
