The Daily Hailey

I’m mildly annoyed today. And it doesn’t even have anything to do with lighting my hair on fire last night. Ya, no joke.

But seriously. I’m a bit miffed. My Macbook is pretty outdated. I’m about four operating systems where I should be. Mine is old enough that I can’t jump to the newest one, I have to upgrade a couple of times to get caught up now. I had been told that the initial upgrade would cost around $200. When I recently called Apple, they told me $20. Woohoo! So I paid it and they said everything was in the mail.

For the record, it is. The cost was legit, the cd is coming, I have no doubt. My problem isn’t with Apple. It is with UPS.

Apparently they came to attempt delivery at 9:30am on Friday. I was home and awake, so I’m not sure what happened there. If they just tried to ring the doorbell, it doesn’t work. So maybe they never tried knocking? Whatever. I figured they’d try again today. I know we sleep in around here, but I figured that I would get up as soon as I woke up. That was around 9am. And you know what!! They had come and attempted delivery again at fricking 8:45! Ok, again, I know we sleep later than most, but I feel like a residential drop-off before 9am is a bit ridiculous. A business, sure. But my home? Either way, Brady called them up to see if they could drop it off at the end of the day, or if there was any other option. The person on the phone said it will be any time between 8am and 4pm (helpful huh?) and that if we miss the 3rd delivery, we’ll be responsible for picking it up from (wait for it) the nearest Purolator location! I just laughed! I mean, it might just be better that way, really, so I don’t have to jump out of bed the minute I wake up for nothing. But why does UPS drop off at Purolator? I do not know.

The last thing I want to quickly add on the end here is about my crocheting. I’m not officially “peeved” about this, but mildly concerned. A few people have received their crocheting from me and have not paid. I know my system isn’t perfect, and maybe I should have demanded money first, but it is really my first time actually charging people! I’m not very comfortable with it, and would appreciate if people would just pay. This is not directed to the people who haven’t received their stuff! Only those who have product in hand. Please pay if you would. I am scared of charging you guys as it is, so imagine how uncomfortable collecting is for me.
