Just another one of "those" days

You ever had one of "those" days? You know the one. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Brush your eyes and comb your teeth. Find out you are wearing your pants on backwards, and the fly is down. Wearing two left shoes. Just something or everything is going wrong and you can't help but watch it unfold. Get it off your mind and talk about some of "those days."

For starters, I had to buy something for work. Nothing unusual, quite the norm. But the problem wasn't the transaction but the delivery process. Who was making the delivery? UPS? Fed Ex? DHL? nah, just the regular old post office. This thing I needed to buy for the team has a deadline too, can't really easily get in stores, just buy and wait. So delivery day comes, and what does the post office do? They don't deliver the package and then mark the tracking number as delivered. This is has happened more times than I can count. Way too many times over the years. And really they just don't deliver it. It doesn't get put to the wrong address, it doesn't get hidden behind some bushes or plants, no. It just sits in the post office or truck and doesn't get delivered. Why do they do this? No idea but unless I speak up and bother the post office, nothing will happen. So like the routine this has become I go to fill out a missing package form, but this time it won't send. I get an error saying "it's past the time to put in a missing package form" and I'm like "how?" I've done it so many times before and why now of all times, with the deadline inching closer does it not want to send? No matter I was planning on calling anyways. So I call, and I get told that the delivery address didn't match up with what was on the package. I check with the supplier, and nope everything is as it should be. So what is the post office going on about? We have have informed delivery, so we know what packages are coming to the address at any given day. So I have the supplier try to deal with the post office as well to help put some pressure on them to get our package delivered. But they can't get their forms to go through either! So now here we are in limbo waiting for our important package to finish up the project before the deadline. We can only it arrives soon because if not, that will be a loss as I will have to buy yet another from some sort of store that may not even have it stock! I didn't buy it from the store in the first place due to this and didn't want to waste valuable work time going on a wild goose chase looking for this thing. Will it come in or will more money need to be spent? Who knows at this point... But for me this was just, one of "those" days...
