Monday
Do I want it? It’s a bit expensive. Yes I want it.
Express shipping? Yes, I want it tomorrow. Paid.
Shipping confirmation received.
Tuesday
Why is it still in the warehouse? Must be getting delivered straight from there.
I’ll check at lunchtime.
Label printed, but it’s still in the warehouse. Why?
Better be here tomorrow.
Wednesday
It’s been picked up! Ok I’ll make sure the Ring camera is working.
Should be there when I get home.
“Someone’s at your front door”
The meter reader? Really?
No notifications of delivery.
Thursday
Why does it say it’s in Amarillo, Texas when I’m in San Diego.
I won’t be seeing it today.
Friday
At least it’s going the right direction. Today should be the day.
EXCEPTION NOTIFICATION!
What the fuck? What information do you need from the sender?
Saturday
In Transit with destination carrier. That’s got to be good right?
But they don’t do deliveries after 2pm. It’s already 1:30pm. Maybe Monday?
Monday
Out for Delivery
There it is. On the doorstep. No rain today.
Get home now.
That feeling of excitement as I open it.
What the fuck? That’s not what I ordered.
Return label, sending it back.
