Just a quick bitchfest. TTVJ states that "All Fedex Express orders placed before noon on a business day will be shipped the same day." Smells like lies to PJ. My order placed on Sunday still shows as "pending", and my credit card has been authorized. And I paid for overnight shipping so the package would arrive before my vacation.

So I've sent them an email explaining that now we'll have to totally rearrange our plans, unless of course they did ship out the package today and just didn't tell me. I had the package shipped to work, and I am off Friday, and I am NOT fucking coming into work during my vacation. Well okay I will come into work to get my package. But I will be grumpy when I do it!!

Shipping is the bane of the shopping class.

That sucks Posty. Hope you get it quick.

But what did you buy?

In my experience they tend to be a bit lackadaisical. Don't get your hopes up until you see a tracking number.

This reminds me of the old "Think Different" ad from Apple - it really annoyed me for some reason.

Sorry.

Sorry.

It wasn't you, Nanoha, that annoyed me - the old Apple ad. Every time I saw it, I had to say under my breath, "think differently!"

Are you sure about that? If "different" was supposed to modify "think", then yes, but isn't there are an admittedly more rare construct of verb predicate-adjective? Or would it have to be in quotes for that to be correct? For example, "Be different" (probably a bad example, since imperatives have an implied subject, I.E. "you", and in this case, "different" is modifying "you", but in "think different", "different" is not modifying "you").

Buh?

But what did you buy?

It is a secret!

In that case, I've no idea. All I know is that they did say "think differently" somewhere in their ad text when it run few years back.

Nope! But the package did arrive today, only instead of shipping via Fedex overnight from TTVJ, it shipped via UPS overnight straight from the manufacturer. Either way I'm just happy to have received it. Pics and stuff later, but don't get excited, its not a big deal or anything.

Record cleaning machine?

pics or ban, jack, you know the rules.

I prefer to thinking of it as "posting a follow-up".
