Overmisunderstood / Some Dude Jacked My Shit!!

May 20, 2004, 03:13 pm

Ack. Work is killing me. I seriously need to take some time off soon. It seems that each morning there's shit waiting for me. I'm getting too many emails from clients and way too many calls. Today, I got off the phone with a client and immediately JB started asking me something. I keep snapping at him and Jesse; it's no good. I don't mean to. I feel cornered and overwhelmed at work.

Let me fill you in on what's going on with my keyboard controller. I was supposed to have it Monday, but there've been complications. To start, my paypal address was my old apartment number, and the seller shipped the keyboard to that address (despite the fact that I sent him a note asking him to send it to my new apartment number). Shouldn't be a big deal. So I'm tracking it online and it says that it's delivered. Great! So I stop by my old apartment and knock on the door. No answer. I leave a note. The guy calls me back and says he never got a package.

“That's weird,” I think to myself. So I investigate further. I look online to see the signature of the person that signed for it. It says, DELIVERED WITHOUT SIGNATURE. Well, that's promising. I do the unthinkable: I call FedEx. The guy tells me that in some cases, drivers will just leave the package on the doorstep. Awesome! Anyone could've jacked my shit! The FedEx guy says they'll talk to the driver and find out what's up.

I get a call yesterday from the driver. I tell him about moving apartments, about the phone call from the guy in my old apartment saying he doesn't have the package. The driver says, “Really, that's weird because I delivered it to a guy there.”

Yet again, I do the unthinkable: I go back to my old apartment to ask this guy if he's seen my package (real non-confrontational like). He says, “Nope. Never seen it.” Okay. I have a real suspicion he's lying.

The FedEx driver is supposed to go by there today to retrieve the package. This is rediculous! Jesse and JB think this guy not only jacked my shit, but pawned it. Fucking ridiculous! I hate this guy.

I joked with Jesse about this yesterday saying that my new thing is buying keyboards off ebay and either getting ones that don't work or not getting them altogether!
