It's Thursday Already?!
 
Morning |waves|

Link Lists are so strange lately. Yesterday, I woke up to about 15 sites in the review queue. Today, there's only 5 :( So no major updates on the Link Lists today, which just means I can get a jump on the other crap I need to get to - like those fucking banners on Real Sexy Girlfriends! |lol|

Have a lovely day!!

Haven't looked at my LL queue yet. Already depressed enough after looking at my sales stats.

Just a day of work planned for today.

Fedex tracking is odd. Ordered some equipment Monday, supposedly the vendor shipped on Tuesday, I got the email confirmation for the Tracking number last night. As of this morning, Fedex reports that the tracking item has been entered in the system but they have no tracking data. The vendor claims it will be here Friday.

But, the odd part is the warning on Fedex's site:

Other than that, I've got nothing.

Hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Good morning. I drank too much last night and now I am regretting it. I think I need a nap.

Having no tracking data at first is what sometimes happens when (larger) shippers enter the airbill and package information directly into the FedEx system several hours before actually giving them the package. Same thing happened with my shipment and it wasn't until the evening of the day it shipped that tracking was available.

The odd part for me was that the tracking showed the package left Shenzhen, China for Hong Kong the day I spoke with my Apple rep, and from there it got to Anchorage, Alaska the next day. That was Friday of the holiday weekend so tracking showed it not moving for the next three days and the delivery date was supposed to be today, the 6th. But FedEx actually got it here first thing Tuesday morning, the 4th, which was a surprise as the website only that morning changed to say "in transit" from Alaska.

The other odd thing is that for warranty replacements Apple uses the original order number again, which meant that the order date showed as 09 Dec 2011. Which might explain why the FedEx girl apologized for taking so long to get it to me.

Wishing a good day to all...and may all your deliveries arrive early.

vendor claims Fedex picked it up Tuesday, though, the airbill being sent to me Wednesday evening doesn't really support that unless it took them a while to get around to emailing it. The time entered into Fedex's system doesn't support that either since it claims Sep 5 3:38pm. But, we'll see if it arrives by Friday. I'm always amazed by both Fedex and UPS tracking. It is fun to watch packages as they make unusual jumps across the USA and you can see their preference for particular airports. They don't use LAX, they use Ontario California. They use Ft Lauderdale over Miami, etc.

I should watch Cast Away again.

Morning all.

No tracking hassles here.

Got a two big projects done yesterday and submitted for sales. Now when they get their credit card processing back on line (which should be within the next week) we are hoping for some big sales. |headbang|

I didn't submit yesterday since I was working on the projects, hence 3 less sites in the queue from me.

Have a good one all |virgohippy|

Good evening,

Another day of tearing up kitchen floors. My back is all sore now. I need to get myself a job where I can lie down o the couch and make money playing video games or watching movies.
Other than that all is good here.

Have a good day all!

Fedex updated it, received by Fedex on Sep 6, expected delivery, Sep 11. I guess they use a different calendar as Sep 7 (the stated delivery date) and Sep 11 appear to be different.
