Go West Young Geezers

I called the credit card company four times yesterday. The first time to verify that the credit card was coming here, not to our home. The second time to verify that it was really scheduled to get here on Saturday. The third time was after the scheduled delivery time of noon. And the fourth time mid afternoon to have them track the package and to get the tracking number. This last time the gentleman said that UPS had until the close of business to deliver the package. That was ok, the office was open until nine that night.

But when I got on the UPS web site to track the package, the one thing that leapt out was the status. I was hoping that the status was “out for delivery.” But nooooo…… it was “on its way”. The last location was Kansas City at 6:19am. Nothing after that. That is a BIG RED FLAG. I hoped that it would be delivered that day, I kept the hope alive, I did not want to be an Eeyore, I did not want to jinx the delivery. At 9 pm the status changed to “expected delivery Monday by 12pm.” Alas and alack. Gee, I don’t even know where that expression comes from. I suspect the package fell of the conveyer belt onto the floor, there to stay until the clean up crew found it.

I was wondering what photograph I could use to illustrate this post. A photo of an empty wallet? A photo of our other credit cards? A photo of the UPS logo with lots of bullet holes it it? Or no photo at all, just like there are no credit cards.

Stay tuned.Leggi altro
