(Sigh...) Don't you hate it when...

...You buy a new pedal you've been GASing about for a while, and the only thing keeping you from enjoying the new addition to your board is the STUPID FeCkING MAILMAN!!! I know I may be acting a bit impatient and overreacting only just a little, but when I'm waiting on a sparkly brand new Darkglass B3K while my main amp is in the shop and the only overdrive I can have is the one I've been craving about, then I'm about to give a whole new meaning to going postal! Seriously, priority mail is 2-3 days, tracking hasn't budged since it shipped Monday and it doesn't look like its coming today either. Definitely a no no for a gear fiend... GIMME MA PEDAL!!!!

You order ... it doesn't come ... so you order a 2nd one ... then you end up with 2 ... @#$%^&*

Sometimes USPS tracking is very slow to update.

But yeah, I'm waiting for the FedEx man to drop off my new aggie preamp, and it's not easy!!!

It finally arrives broken.

Chill out.

Time for a drink.
Play with what you have while you wait.

anybody see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? reminds me of the scene where he clicks to order online then sits in front of the door waiting for the delivery. go practice some scales or something.

Living in Canada, USPS shipping sometimes takes so long that you just start pretending you never ordered it. Once it finally gets there, you can act all surprised and stuff.

I'd be happy if UPS-the-brown-shirted-package-jockeys didn't steal my stuff. Last week, I sent two dozen batteries to a guy in Florida (I'm in Wisconsin, if that has never come up). The box arrived Tuesday. Sixteen of the batteries were in the original packaging (remember, I'm in the UPS-the-electrical-boxes-of-life-or-death business) boxes. Those two boxes were gone. The foam with which I packed them into the larger box, as well as the loosies, were all intact. Someone had cut into my box, taken two boxes out, and sent the rest onward. Those brown-shirted package jockeys will SUFFER for their transgression.

I wish Madison had better pedal selections. Or, more importantly, I wish I were happy with my choices. Right now, I am in a good spot.
