Quick Small Updates

So, the last couple days have been pretty busy.  I’m in the middle of writing a case in the voice of someone who works at a nonprofit organization, but in the other room I am transferring files from my old G5 Dual 2 GHz to a new Intel Mac Pro.  I am using a crappy old Dell monitor of Rob’s (like it looks like there is something wrong with it) while I wait for mine to arrive.  I am really excited to use the new computer!  The G5 will be repurposed because it still works pretty well (knock on wood).

In my class last night this really cool guy came and talked to us about the nonprofit sector.  His name was Robert Egger, and he was very inspiring, and I highly recommend you check out his blog.  Watch the videos.  Read up on his NPO the DC Central Kitchen.  The guy is really cool.  

Chew on that while I set up the new computer and finish up my schoolwork.  Tomorrow I should have some pictures for you.

Oh, and head over to Carisse’s blog in the meantime, and see if she has any updates from the Obama rally in South Bend. And enjoy this picture of Nico.

Seriously…

Dear UPS…

Why do you provide me with a tracking number if you’re not going to update the system with my package’s whereabouts? That’s cool that my package is actually in Indianapolis and scheduled to be delivered today, but I get a little worried when it doesn’t say “Out for Delivery” because two times ago, it never got put on the truck. And when I called and asked about it, you were like, “Oh, they have until 7PM to deliver so just wait it out.” So I did. And my package never came because you figured out they never put it on the truck. You apologized, but it didn’t change the fact that I was right in being concerned.

But last time even though it never said “Out for Delivery”, it still got here in time. So, I don’t know why my packages never say “Out for Delivery” anymore. Are you trying to torture me? Why on earth can’t my tracking number have more info? Isn’t that why people pay you the big bucks over the US Postal Service? I just want my cute stuff from Delight.com! And I hate when you tell me to wait until 7PM to call because I know that it is abnormal for my UPS guy to be in my neighborhood after 4PM.

Sincerely, A frustrated customer
