So about three weeks ago, Margaret announced the winner of the Bath and Works giveaway and that I won. She sent the package shortly after and I received the package on the 11th of February.

Well, what I mean by “received” is that it was delivered, but since no one answered the door (my roommates couldn’t be bothered to answer the damned intercom’s phone), they left a slip for me to pick it up. Since I had just started work and I wasn’t going to be in the post office’s area anytime soon, I asked my friend, RN, if he could swing by after his classes to pick it up for me. He went the day after (on Tuesday), but they couldn’t find the package. I was a little peeved, but I thought that I could go in on Saturday for it and they could find it. Well, I realized I couldn’t go on Saturday, so I saved it for the following Tuesday morning, the 19th of February.

I went into the office with my slip and photo ID and waited for what seemed like ten years instead of ten minutes. They couldn’t find the package… again. Knowing that they only keep packages for 10 days, I asked them what my options where. I was told to call the supervisor in the morning before the mail carriers would leave. I called and called and called. Sometimes when I called, no one would answer. Other times, I would be put on hold for an obscene amount of time (I’m on my cell phone, by the way). After a few days of the whole phone situation, I was pretty pissed off, to say the least.

They had my name and number and by Saturday, I was giving it a lost cause and assumed the package for lost. Then, on Monday evening, in the middle of my break, I received a call (or voicemail rather) that they had finally found my package. I asked if they could deliver the package and leave it in the mail area, but the supervisor was afraid that I’d have to sign for it (which I had highly doubted, but I wasn’t going to argue), so he said it would be much better if I could just go in.

I realized that I have quite a bit of time on Tuesday to get things done, especially in the morning, since I don’t have to show up for work until 2pm, so I planned to go to the office. After many weeks of many different emotions running around, I finally got her package in my hands, which I opened at work only to realize that she had completely overcompensated in the box size.

Now the fun part comes when I can finally try these items out. Thanks a lot Margaret! (And not so many thanks to the post office for the delay…)
