Another day, Another FedEx Missed Package

Now that I know that FedEx Express and Home are the non-deliverers and FedEx Ground always brings the goods, I ask before I order. I ordered last week because the vendor said that they use FedEx Ground. On Saturday FedEx Home tried to deliver their package. Called me and left a message on my machine and a door tag.

I signed the door tag and left it on the door. This afternoon, no door tag and no phone call and no package. Déjà vu vu. Only this time I have no tracking number either. I forgot to copy it down Saturday. I've sent a note off to the vendor requesting it. Man, I'm tired of this song.

My brother and Trey got home to Jacksonville a bit ago (I got email). Their house is fine and their dogs are fine and the hurricane is gone. Whew.

I haven't talked to Mom today. She was getting her hair done this morning and Bill and Trey were there until noon and this afternoon got away from me and she's not answering her phone now (maybe at dinner?).

I did finally remember to look up my Delta frequent flyer miles and their upgrade allowance and determine that I have barely enough for a trip and won't likely be using them for that, I have plenty to upgrade to first class when I go see Mom at Thanksgiving. So I called today since their website (which is pretty darned complete for everything else) does not have a way to upgrade using miles. I waited on hold forever. Then I finally got a person and explained what I wanted and got put back on hold for forever x 2. When she finally came back she said that my fare made me ineligible for an upgrade. I must have paid at least $1,300 for my flight (within the U.S.) in order to upgrade using my miles. I laughed out loud for a while and thanked her for the information and hung up.

I am so not a good traveler - there's just nothing that I like about it. Nothing. I wasn't always this way but I sure am now.
