On a tangentially related note, I’m waiting for one of those telco appointments where I’m supposed to be home “between 8am and 5pm”.
On Sunday I looked on their website, and I see “between 4pm and 7pm”. Wow, kind of late, but nice to have a narrower window. Yesterday I check again, and I see “between 11am and 2pm”. Oops! Almost missed it. This morning I get a text: “between 9:50am and 1pm”. What the f?
So I am home at 9:50am and check the website: “This appointment is in past”.

Possible correction: although last time this happened both Amazon and USPS agreed that my item sat in El Paso for 4-5 days, this time Amazon’s tracking shows it traveling from Baltimore to El Paso during that period while USPS just shows that it shipped with a “partner” in El Paso and continued to “ship” every day in El Paso for that period.
SNAFU all around. Whatever, I give up. I’m tempted to order it again 2-day (it’s even $1 cheaper now), get it a day earlier, and return this first one out of spite but it’s not worth it. Besides, they might accidentally send it to Alaska and then to Hawaii or something…

End of story: it was delivered an hour ago. That’s the kind of screw-up they should do more often.

That’s like a “bank error in your favor” card in Monopoly.
