Not only do I want popcorn for dinner, but I want to put butter on it.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am having popcorn for dinner! Utz cheese popcorn. Because I needed milk, and was hungry.
Good luck, amych.
Stay safe, shrift.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, that would be scary, shrift.
I'm glad the outcome was as good as possible, under the circumstances, amych. My org. has an opening for a digital library assistant: [link] I think it's a temporary position, but it could be a stopgap until something else opens up.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Skipped a huge backlog, sorry.
Came back from my trip to find my mom had cleaned/decluttered my room. This is huge. I was trying to psych myself up for doing it when I returned. It's such a load off my mind to have it done. Yay, Mom!
Thanks to JZ for making time to see me while I was bopping around the SF Bay Area. It was a pleasure seeing you and catching up on things JZ-like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sox, I just called the number on the delivery ticket and went from there with my delivery complaint. They filed it for me just fine.
Amych, I'm glad it worked out relatively okay.
MOVE SHRIFT.

Devi has repurposed my work laptop as a catwarmer. I guess this means I can't open it and check up on stuff any more tonight.
Cats are good for my sanity.

The U.S. post office made major trouble in Delivering to a post office box in South Berkeley. Sent priority, lost, then found and delivered late with the replacement.

I looked all over their website for a "are we delivering oddly?" customer service link. Cannot find one.
When I had a fit over UPS a while back, I tried phone calls and emails and got brushed off both ways. I was going to send an epic letter to the corporate office but it was such a complicated story that I gave up and sent much shorter messages to Amazon & a few other companies saying "Listen, you're swell, but since you ship via UPS I can't shop on your site, because it's just not worth the frustration. Just thought you should know in case I'm not the only one."
I've also sent grateful emails to companies that ship via Fed Ex or USPS, and a couple of times I've said things like, "I really want to give you my money, and I would be happy to pay the difference in cost if you could ship this ANY OTHER WAY."

"Listen, you're swell, but since you ship via UPS I can't shop on your site, because it's just not worth the frustration. Just thought you should know in case I'm not the only one."
I have a friend who was told by someone in UPS customer service that basically UPS didn't care about keeping the deliverees happy, they just care about keeping their big corporate clients happy, and she's been leaving pretty similar messages ever since.
