I am never ordering anything from Barnes & Noble's website again if I don't need to because their shipping rpocess annoys me. They have these people called DropShip Express do their shipping, except Drop Ship uses the United States Postal Service. So... I made an order at 1 pm, Drop Ship gets it at 11 pm. The order is sent to and acknowledged by the Post Office at 11 pm the next night. The next morning it starts its journy via the USPS.
Packages can take their sweet ass time getting to me, but why that particular extra step? Even if everybody else actually operates that way (which they don't), as long as they don't tell me I'll just think they're slow and I won't shop with them. But they have to show the extra day and a half step to piss me off.
I actually think that this order was placed by Barnes & Noble to the publisher, and then they gave me free shipping, so really I should be very pleased. The publisher didn't directly send me the book, they sent it to Barnes & Noble first, which probably means Drop Ship went and picked it up, thus a delay. So I could've ordered directly from the publisher and paid shipping and I might have the book now.
I really do have plenty of reading and homework and exam preparation to do, but it's not in my face, so I'm just not going to do it. Not right now.
I went to bed around 4:30 last night thinking I would sleep until about 1pm this arfternoon. Well, I plopped down on my bed completely unable to move despite having plans to do other things around 4:30 - 5:00. Anyway, at 8:30 I woke up feeling refreshed thinking I'd slept a good amount, the sun was shining, I was ready to get up. Looked at the clock and went back to sleep, annoyed with all that crappy sound coming from the television.
An hour later I woke up again completely unable to stand being in bed. I am entirely too lazy for that to happen. And later in class I will be tired and it will be sad.
I hope Ben takes me to the mall later. <3
Oh, and if it isn't too much trouble, might I ask for a moment of your time, and just two of your daily mouse clicks?
