apple. maybe hip, but technically savvy they are not.

so they send me an email this morning at 6am telling me I’d get that mini-ipod in two business days? well I go to get the mail today at 1 pm? DHL has stopped by yet again and not knocked. they just hung a stupid “you weren’t home, sign this” form on my door and then left. so not only did 2 business days turn into >6 hours but their partner DHL yet again managed to not knock or ring the bell. trust me, I didn’t sleep through it as since I’m on-call I have to be both a) sober and b) sleeping in a quiet room so that I’ll wake up to phone calls(I normally don’t mind sleeping through a TV show.)

I mean, I’m not super mad or anything. I just think it’s dumb and I especially hate it when tech companies fail to use their technology to their benefit. It’s shows a level of ineptness that makes me worry. It’s basically the alienware fiasco all over again.
