First World Problems

UPS showed up with the new toy around 10pm.

Honestly, I’d given up on them, was preparing for sleep. In the morning, I was gonna get up and scream at UPS customer service staff on the phone.

One of the least attractive parts of my personality is that I kinda like screaming at people. When they don’t have any connection whatsoever with my real life.

I have this really strong bellicose streak. It’s why I was so good at martial arts.

Of course I’d spent the day obsessively checking the UPS tracker every 10 minutes. The truck with my new phone had left Kingston at 8:45 in the morning. It’s exactly 38.62 miles between Kingston and Hyde Park. Less if you swim across the river! So why wasn’t the new phone here yet?

First world problems!

Otherwise, it was just a hideous grey day. It rained and rained and rained. I told myself I was lucky it was raining— because (a) look what happens when it doesn’t rain (California firestorms!) and (b) three degrees colder, and it would have been snowing.

First snowstorm of the season is supposed to take place tomorrow.

Phone is living up to my expectations. I really like it. Though the cats won’t sit still long enough to pose for dramatic photo portraits.
