UPS no go

Today I got my new Lenovo Ideapad. Looks like it has travelled the world before getting here. It started in Shanghai China, from there it went through, Osaka, Japan, Narita, Japan, Anchorage, Alaska, Louisville, Kentucky, Port Hope Ontario, Lachine Quebec and finally NS.

UPS lists all this but not in real time. Even yesterday it showed out for delivery while the guy had come and gone at 10.00am. Even today it still shows out for delivery. I guess the driver will go back and only then the status gets updated. How sad. With the technology it should be able to show immediately. For instance yesterday, by 10.00am if it was updated one would not have rushed home from work to find the yellow sticker.

Purolator is doing the deliveries for UPS here in Halifax. And how nice it would be if these couriers could give one a time window when the delivery would be made. So one does not have to stay home the whole day. It could be as simple as stating delivery by noon or delivery anytime between noon to 5.00pm or delivery after 5.00pm. Moreover, I think these guys don't even have a office in Halifax. It is in Dartmouth some place. But I may be wrong.

Laptop

After weeks of contemplating and research we have finally purchased an IBM Lenovo ideapad. September is moving typically in the sense, days are getting smaller, chilly nights and mornings and a general despair in thoughts about the forthcoming winter.

M has begun her basketball tryouts and today we also got a note from T stating that they "will" have Sunday skating. So M begins again this week.  At office things were a bit different as C has to HR and complained about being victimised. It  is really sad that despite trying my best to even get her permanent spot, she has gone and done this. Her mental imbalance is attributed to this behaviour, but we still have to address it.

In another news got to know that the other Bs have now purchased VW polo. That is great news. Otherwise trying to see the bright side the weather and the office when there isn't any. 

September slosh

Well, into September now and back to the grind. School has begun for M. P is back in office and for me work is picking up. Yesterday we had gone to see U's mil in the hospital. She had a fall but luckily no broken bones. Later at night we invited K and U for drinks.

The temps are already falling and we are in the single digits at morns. Also, yesterday on way to Superstores, there was a scream moment. One of the trees on way had a red leaf. Fall is getting here and soon it will be depressingly cold.

Not that there is anything wrong with the cold. But, shovelling is what makes winters terrible. Lets see how this year goes.

बाकी बघू काय होते.
