Storytellers
So nothing's been going on lately and I don't have much to write. I'll let you in on a story from the US. I swear it's true.
Cal and I ordered our iSkin's online because well, the ones we wanted we couldn't find anywhere. So it says that it'll ship in 3-6 days. Why so long? They ship it from Canada (had I known that I wouldn't have bought it... damn Canadians). So well, we order them and right afterwards I start thinking and I figure that that 6th day is the day we leave to come back to Valencia. Not very smart, is it? So in theory we should have it if they send it 3-5 days. It's the US, that's what they do, right?
Well, so we wait until the last day (that 6th day) to go pick them up. It's around 11:30 and we go to the office, and when we get there they tell us that they're not there. Why? Why!? It's the 6th day and this is the US! It should be there? Well, the thing is, when they say 3-6 days it is implied that it's 3-6 business days. Is that right? So you can imply that when they say 3-6 days it's business days but you can't imply that when someone gives you coffee it's hot? These Americans amuse me... anyway, it turns out that "6th" day was really the 4th day. Bummer.
So we start on our shameful walk back to the van. Cal tells me to walk slowly because maybe the UPS guy will come. I laugh at him but go along with his ""plan"" because, well, honestly there's nothing else we can do. So we walk to the elevator, go down, then walk towards the van when Cal suddenly yells "hey, the UPS guy!" I turn around and see nothing and I curse at him for making me look. Then he tells me that he's serious, that the UPS guy is there. So I look again and this time I see him. Just minutes, literally, before we were bound to leave the UPS guy arrived with our stuff! What are the odds of that?
