I press refresh so obsessively on the FedEx tracking page that I knew the second that my new laptop was delivered. I ran up to reception and was like “where’s my shit!?” and the receptionist was like “whuh? I don’t have anything for you” and I’m all like “oh .. really?? then what’s this box!?”

Have the new iBook here plugged in at work. Everyone in the cubes around me was teasing me that I was being like a little kid on Christmas morning. .. which I was. I recently just got a new laptop at work too because my Dell laptop decided not to recognize the hard drive any more. They replaced it with this black IBM. It’s pretty nice…. for a PC.

Can’t wait to get home and start transferring data and customizing and everything. I don’t really need to get any work done today… do I? .. come on!!! I’m kind of dreading finding old CDs with my software on them, though.

Btw, Shanghai, China to Chicago, IL in 3 days.. no too shabby.

  1. congrats on the new addition! i feel like i should buy you a card for the occasion. now’s the time – what did you name him/her? ivory? ivy? maybe you can ask people here for suggestions.

  2. Hey, I used to work on tracking, shipping, etc., webapps on fedex.com, so hooray for the web!

    Awesome that your package went 6 hours backwards in time between China and Alaska. 🙂

  3. james, you’re my hero.. bc whenever i have anything shipping that i really really really am excited to get, i track it like crazy. same thing happened with my digital camera. i was sitting at my desk and i knew when it came so i ran up to the front desk to get it .. before they could even go through everything that was just delivered.
