Serendipity...
Apr. 27th, 2007 04:28 pmI ordereed a couple of books on Amazon the other day, enough for their free shipping to kick in, and the books, which were shipped yesterday, arrived late this morning, which is pretty neat. I looked at the box in passing, and it seemed to me that the package originated in Kansas, which seems right for "one day away" via UPS Ground.
I also noted that Amazon dropped the price of one of the books I ordered literally hours after I ordered it. I inquired about that via email and got a response this morning, basically a price adjustment note.
Amazon-wise, I am a happy camper.
* * * Excel-wise, I have calmed down a bit, but I am bothered by just how hot under the collar I got about the whole thing (of course, it didn't help that Galina had decided to take her first steps in Excel - for other reasons - and was coming by at intervals of what seemed to be 10 seconds for help while I was going nuts trying various ways of putting the text back into Excel).
Still, I should not have gotten that emotional. It didn't help solve the framzoggling problem, nor did it endear me particularly to Galina.
Cheers...
