yay

I know you were all just waiting, riveted, on the edge of your seats for the shocking conclusion to my boxes situation.

So...today I went back to the place that was holding my packages. I had my rolling suitcase, all prepared to make a botch job of tying at least one of the boxes to it. It got to my turn and the lady behind the desk was having a panic attack because the man in front of me had accidentally taken the official sheet with him that she was supposed to keep. She was muttering under her breath and calling out to other coworkers and fretting and wailing. Poor thing. But she was barely paying attention to my stuff. So she took my i.d.s and then suddenly looked at the boxes and decided that they were too heavy and that I couldn't take them without a car. huh? Perhaps let me be the judge of that?

I sat there looking angsty and feeling sorry for myself when the very kind lady behind me offered to take me home since my street was right on the way home for her. Yay! So one of the boxes was WAY lighter and smaller than I remembered. The other was books and was quite heavy.

But yay yay yay, I have my books! And with a minimum of effort! And yay for the kindness of strangers!

And what is with all this spam hitting my blog? Hint: If I don't know your name and you only write a message that says "See here" and "here" leads to an advertisement or porn site, then I'm deleting you -- immediately!
