Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Anyone ever use the US Postal Service's tracking system? When I enter the tracking number it tells me that the package was accepted on Monday by the post office in NJ, but there's no more info. Is this normal?
Yes. USPS tracking sucks the proverbial donkey dong. 9 times out of 10 it will tell me my item has shipped and then it will tell me it's been delivered. The parts in between are apparently not for the eyes of mortal men.
ETA: X-posty
Huh. That's what I was afraid of.
Well, I suppose that for purchases on eBay the tracking number is evidence that something was, in fact, shipped (unless the seller gives a phony tracking no.). And then evidence that it was received.
edit for sense-making....
I am now alone in the office, and I'll be alone all next week too. I've got nothing billable to do - my only task is to move a hard drive to another server. And be available for any crisis or rush job for our two biggest clients.
I suppose during that time I could make a post or two at b.org....
We're now officially closed for the holiday, so I think I'm going to leave.
I'm gonna leave early too. No client would call with stuff for me to do on Dec 23rd afternoon, right?

For some reason, when I first read this, I thought you meant that the Buffistas were closed for the holiday. And I was very dissappointed.
I'm done for the day. Out to score firewood and a fire extinguisher.
Just in case.
Merry Christmas to all Buffistadom. Thanks for being such a great part of my online life.

OK, that it. Everybody out. Last person turn the lights out and lock up....

Probably not. Though I'm pretty much stuck for the rest of the day. One of the other techs is covering the help desk (well, actually I am at the moment while he goes to lunch) and it would unfair to him for the other tech and I to leave since he has to stay. The rest of our team either didn't come in or is already gone for the day, though. And there's a skeleton crew at our corporate office.

Yeah. That would be bad. Especially for those of us still stuck at work.

Heh. It's always good to plan ahead.
