Thanks to my buddy Marc G, I got the heads up on a sweet deal that Future Shop was having on a Garmin Street Pilot GPS. About a hundred dollars or so less than the full pop, so I ordered it.
Paid the extra so I'd get it asap.
Well that hasn't worked out yet.
I called Canada post with my tracking number and they said it was created online and the computer read it but it actually hadn't been shipped.
Then I called Future Shop and spoke to a nice person who told me they can't declare it "lost in shipping" until 4 business days have elapsed.
Huh?? I asked why not check on it's status now but the FS lady told me it may arrive today and it it doesn't I'm supposed to call Friday.
But, I said again, why not check on it now?
This seemed to annoy the nice FS lady who didn't seem to understand why I wasn't getting the fact that it isn't lost in shipping and checkable until day 4.
Forget the fact that I paid for Express Shipping thinking that the thing was supposed to be here Tuesday.
Now I'm working for Future Shop cause I have to call tomorrow to declare a Shipping Emergency.
I tell this to annoyed FS lady and this does little to un-annoy her.
I say isn't it ironic that you can't locate my GPS. Maybe if you had GPS-locater-GPS you would know where it is.
She doesn't see the irony.
Oh well, at least it will give me something to do Friday.
By the way for you people that have been asking...this is what I've been doing now that I have no real job.

Don't get me started with Future Shop. I'd love to explain but there's not enough time in the world for that.
