Yesssss! Three days late, the UPS truck finally did show up. But not before first calling me to say the package was lost. Oh, ok, they didn't use the word "lost", pardonnez-moi; they simply said they couldn't "find" it. Sounds kinda like LOST don't it?!? Which made me feel like half way between broken-hearted and barfing.
Thirty agonizing minutes later... I'm not sure if it was the twitter angels bringing my plight to the attention of @EvanAtUPS or what, but just then the doorbell suddenly rang.
And voilà!
What's that yucky brown stain? See this animation.
My joy was somewhat shortlived. During all this waiting for the brown UPS truck, the electricity company somehow managed to accidentally disconnect my phone AND internet, shaving yet another decade off my life expectancy.
So here I sit, stuck at home waiting for yet another coupla guys in different coloured trucks to show up and fix it...
And since I'm sitting around waiting, I'm trying to install Bootcamp on this crazy Macbook Pro myself, and it's eating me alive.
See the grey?
You can make someone else smile by sharing.
awesome....your ability to make awesome stories and animation out of the hell that is your life over the past couple of days kinda makes me wish your life was always hellish.... Sorry...just telling the truth woman!
ReplyDeleteI love getting a new computer. It's only ever happened a couple of times for us, and it's great. But I hate having to reinstall all my crap onto the new one. I just want it to come pre-loaded and ready for me to tinker!
ReplyDeleteUPS is the devil
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you finally got your computer but sad that you now have another issue to deal with.
ReplyDeleteThe easiest computer switch I ever made was from my macbook to my iMac. Everything was seamless. Why are you using bootcamp. If you use Parrells you can run both operating Systems at the same time. Make my life so much easier.
While I'd like to say I'm sorry for all your suffering, the entertaining post that resulted from it prevents me from doing so! Looking forward to more!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it finally came! I think I got grey hair just from following along with the saga.
ReplyDeleteI love happy endings!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm so glad your Mac finally arrived. I just hope the experience doesn't morph into a whole series of extended downers. Don't let it happen! Time to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally got your Mac. You and I seem to have the same type of lives! Good luck. I enjoyed your animations :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you finally received your Mac, but what the heck... the electricity gets disconnected? Do you think these things happen to inspire you for more animation? I kid. Hope there's power by now. Love your sense of humor & animation work.
ReplyDeleteSo did you get the Macbook Pro or the Macbook Air? Were you a Mac person before? I'm dying to try one and keep trying to talk myself out of it. I'm glad you finally got it and hopefully your internet issues are solved by now. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you finally received your new bundle of joy. Can't wait to see the magic you'll create. As for your trials and tribulations in receiving said MacBook Pro goodness, you've already reaped creative rewards. Funny UPS animation JC! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the animation. Sooo glad you finally got your MAC! I was fearful for UPS ;) I agree with @whyisdaddycryin, I love your talent for creating humour in crappy situations. You rock girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh JC. I thought these kinds of disasters only happened to me. Shelagh
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love everyone! I really couldn't have done it without you; knowing you were following the story kept me going...
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, maybe I really should consider changing my blog name to "Why is JC Crying?"
HAH!
