See you next year!

So another year has come and just about gone. It has been an interesting year. Some added responsibilities at work and another child at home. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year.

Not a shipping professional, but....

I by no mean have ever worked at or ran a shipping company but I've been confused by one. I recently ordered something on line. The site sent the package with DHL. Here is the tracking information so far:

So far it has started in Michigan then went to Ohio. It somehow spent about two hours in Milwaukee then reapeared in Ohio. It then got sent back to Michigan two days ago. Since then no update. Couldn't they just sent it with the USPS? I'm begining to think I should have drove and picked it up myself. Oh well!

This just in: CSI Miami jumps shark!

I have become increasingly frustrated with CSI Miami this season. I wondered if the writers were even trying before the strike. Horatio breaks more rules and regulations to get the job done it is unbelievable. He is quite possibly the most corrupt "good" cop on television. This weeks episode was the official end of the shows loose connection with reality. Its one thing for the group to get arrive on a scene, gather evidence, get DNA and autopsy results then solve the crime in one shift. This week however they were searching for a weapon called the vaporizer. This is a weapon that fires so many rounds it vaporizes a human. That would be bad enough, but the climax of the show has Horatio's Hummer have the rear half explode after being shot with the super weapon and he steps out casually. He doesn't even have a hair out of place. He then proceeds to walk up to the guy with the super gun with his 9mm and shoot him and two other men without anyone getting off a shot. What a load of poo.

Boo to all you at Wiipec!

Is is just me or is it ridiculous that people are still having trouble finding Wii systems? It has been out for over a year now and you still apparently have to camp out at the store and bribe the stock person to be able to actually get your hands on it. Are these things hand crafted by Amish craftsman? In my humble opinion Nintendo should be able to meet the demand after more than a year. I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but Nintendo has to be purposely dragging their feet to increase demand. Who can blame them. They haven't had a must have system since before the original Playstation was released. So I say release the hounds already and let stores have their Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!

Jericho returns!!!!!!

It was just recently anounced that Jericho would return February 12, 2008 at 9:00 PM central. This was some exciting news for me and the many Jericho Rangers that fought to save the show. If you haven't seen the show here's the website www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho
You can watch full episodes for free online or purchase the DVD of the first season at your favorite store or website. Nuts to New Bern!
