All day today I’ve been anxiously watching my FedEx tracking to see when my most anticipated packaged would arrive today. You see, earlier this week (Monday night) I drove all the way out to Durham (yeah not that far), to the Apple store to purchase their new Aperture software. While they had it in stock, they couldn’t give me an academic discount :(. The discount is $250 so I returned home and ordered it online.

Let’s fast forward to Tuesday night when I get an email saying Aperture has shipped (much to my surprise). Even more surprised was that FedEx ground would be delivering the package today. I was very excited, as I knew I had the night free to play with the new software.

I sat and sat and sat around here this evening, waiting for my package to arrive. When finally at 8 PM, FedEx site changes to the following message:

Dec 1, 2005 6:33 PM

Delivery exception

DURHAM, NC

Delivery delayed, scheduled for next business day

I don’t know what the exception was but now I must wait even longer. Knowing my luck, they’ll try to deliver while I’m at work, leave a door tag, and thus I won’t get my software until Monday! Sigh - oh well.

Now some of you are laughing or making fun of me for my stress over a piece of software but like I’ve said before, I’m a nerd and I accept it
