It should be here tomorrow

Last week (on Tuesday), I decided to get the desk that I had been contemplating getting. It was on sale at Office Max for $119.99 (regularly $199.99). Since I was considering getting it when it was full price, I would have been a fool not to get it $80 cheaper.

Since it was furniture, the store didn’t have it in stock. They put in the order and were going to have it delivered directly to me. I called them on Friday to see what my order status was. I was told that it was actually out for delivery … that it should be delivered between 8am and 5pm, and if it wasn’t, to call them back. Well, 5pm came and went … no desk. So I called them back. They put a trace on it. Since I really didn’t expect it until this week, I wasn’t too upset. Although, I would have liked to have gotten it so that I could have set it up over the weekend. Now I have to wait until this coming weekend to put it together (if I can get some help … Lisa?? Robin??).

I got a call this morning from the shipper asking if it would be okay to deliver it tomorrow. Kinda surprised that they called. She told me that they had attempted delivery on Friday at 10:05am. ‘scuse me? No you didn’t. I work from home. I was home ALL DAY. No one tried to deliver anything. I should have asked her why they weren’t trying to deliver today if they had tried on Friday. Oh well. I don’t plan on putting it together ’til Saturday anyways. I have a feeling that I’m gonna need more than a couple hours to get it together.

I can’t wait until I have that thing set up. I just hope I didn’t overestimate the size of it (I did measure, and I don’t *think* it will be an issue). To have all of my computers fit on the desk will be nice. I can get rid of the lappy power cord stretched across the room. And to get my printer off of the floor … that’ll be nice too.
