Canada Post Anti-Jinx

In the past month we've seen some long delays in arrival of parcels. My thesis has gone completely MIA. A parcel from Australia is somewhere in transit. Various products ordered online have been taking there time...

After much grumbling, we found an article online telling of month-long delays on Canadian imports! Oh no! Now, while the article made sense, Dad (gleefully) pointed out the article was from 2004 and so hardly relevant to the current situation. :P

Regardless, our grumbling seems to have paid off, as in the last 12 hours:

  • a package from DealExtreme arrived at Emily's;
  • a set of books from Amazon.ca arrived at Emily's;
  • a parcel arrived at my place (have to pick it up tomorrow afternoon);
  • another set of books from Amazon.ca starting shipping.

I need to grumble to the aether more often.

There was no 'glee' in my discovery at all.
But it was a buzz that old age and treachery can still beat youth and skill any day.
