In directly related news, I hate UPS with the fire of a thousand suns. Not only are they incapable of reading simple notes, let alone following the directions stated on said notes, but they just generally suck balls. They're currently holding two of my packages hostage, and I'm about ready to swear out a fatwa against them. Because I have evening classes the next two days and hence won't be home to receive packages, and of course I can't drive out to the UPS facility to pick the fucking things up. So I'm going to have to call them and see if they will keep my packages until Friday, and either have them redeliver them then (which I'm not thinking they'll do) or find someone who'll take me out to pick them up.
I really wish places would give you the option of how you want something shipped; I would pay EXTRA to get something delivered NOT by UPS. (And it certainly wouldn't be any slower...with UPS' fucking moronic delivery method, and complete inconvenience of their package pickup centers, I'd get fucking USPS Media Mail faster than this shit.)
So...calling UPS tomorrow. If they are not polite and professional and willing to accommodate me, I'mma go ballistic - and while I'm normally pretty laid-back, when I go off I go OFF.
In completely unrelated news, reality reflects crazy Japanese pop culture, take 2. (Take 1, of course, being the kids who attacked/killed their parents who may or may not have been inspired by Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.) Sadly, my first reaction was not "oh god, how horrible," but "goddammit, how stupid do you have to be to spell 'desu' wrong?"
And speaking of the wacky Japanese, have some ramen porn. (Worksafe, if not particularly brainsafe.)
...does planning ahead to skip a class tomorrow make me a bad student?
