*sigh* parents
Even from thousands of miles away, they can cause me no end of grief.
Before I left toronto I packed up my desktop and a box of things so my parents could ship them to me.
Today finally recieved my stuff after a week of fighting with the forms for ups and customs. Scanned and re-sent the same form 3 times. Then my parents had written down the wrong address for me, so I had to go knocking on the neighbors doors to figure out who had signed for my boxes.
Once I saw then though, my heart fell. 3 boxes, none of them big enough to be my compy. So I take them in and open them up. Lo and behold my 1 box has been needlessly re-packed into 3, plus a whole bunch of crap I do not need and cannot understand why they would be shipped.
Like pots. There are already pots here.
Or pens, I brought pens already. And bought like 30 more for a buck once I was here.
Rubber bands? Useful sure. Why would you spend $1000 shipping them overseas? I dont know.
Sure they care about me. Aww...
Too bad they are the most wasteful and nonsensical ridiculous people ever.
So. A thousand dollars to send me maybe $50 worth of stuff that I do not need. It could have been less than a thousand for $2000 worth of stuff. Not the best bang for buck they sent me. Its so nonsensical to have them complain and worry about money, then do something like this.
Also now there are 2 boxes sitting in storage that at the end... I have no idea what I'm going to do with. I might see if I can sell them...?
I dunno... Now I have 2 boxes of pretty much dead weight.
