I spoke to them on the phone. They HATE these people - all of them are returning Amazon packages, so not a penny goes to the UPS Store. I suggested they put up a sign saying box holders come right in, or making a separate lane for us. I will not stand in line outside, because I pay for a service as do all box holders. It would be one thing if they were actually shipping packages, but every single person was returning Amazon shit, which begs the question why the HELL or what the HELL are they ordering and not keeping? It's infuriating.

They definitely need a separate line for box holders. So far I have been able to avoid purchasing anything that might need to be returned.

A few minutes ago I placed an order with Amazon prime for eye drops I need by the end of the month. The Prime delivery says April 4th with a warning deliveries have been delayed.

Starting to watch Marius, the first of Pagnol’s Marseille trilogy or the Fanny trilogy. Amazing restoration. Crisp, clean images and legible subtitles. Even the sound is improved.

Keith ordered something on the 25th that arrived today. We could have waited longer for the order.

Jane · « **Reply #125 on:** March 27, 2020, 06:00:54 PM »

I ordered another item today that is scheduled to be delivered on the 30th. I am not in a rush for this item either.

Yes, I ordered something via Prime - three weeks to get here. I'm going to call Amazon at some point, because I've already been charged and that is NOT supposed to happen until the thing actually ships. I'm also going to suggest that if this is now the new normal for Prime that they give everyone a free year.

Amazon got my bird food to me in three days. JB was happy. So was I.

Jane · « **Reply #128 on:** March 27, 2020, 07:02:05 PM »

JB's food was an important delivery. Maybe it was given priority. I think eye drops for dry eyes are important.

Alvin Ailey was supposed to come to the Tobin Center next month. Well, that ain't happening, but I can still watch Revelations.

Apparently an ER doctor in town had a COVID-19 party with a great many people invited, a sort of raspberry or FU to the disease. I would not be surprised if he's fired.

Hello, everyone. Which, at the moment, seems to just be John G.

Hello, John G!

I've been watching THE ENGLISH GAME, written by Julian Fellowes. I'd not heard of it before tonight. It's on Netflix. It's pretty good, class warfare on the football field.

Last week I placed an Amazon Prime order for some cleaning products, a supplement, and a novel. The delivery time for the supplement and cleaning products was quoted as four days, but the novel as a month off. They had said they'd be giving priority to essential items, but perhaps they changed their mind as all of the items arrived today. Did they suddenly realize how important fiction is in my life? I read, therefore I am.

Good evening. Had a pretty good day. I did make a shopping run. Went to Petco and bought a couple weeks worth of the cats' food. Their food is sometimes hard to find, so I stocked up a little more than I would have. It used to be cheaper on Amazon, but now is cheaper at the local store.

I then drove by one grocery where the parking lot was totally full and went to my fav grocery which had many fewer cars. It was nice inside. Lots of people in gloves, but I didn't see any masks. They were out of toilet paper and cleaning supplies and paper towels were being rationed, but other than that the shelves were pretty full and they had a ton of young employees stocking shelves. Of course I saw a box of the cats' food and bought that. They will be fine for at least a couple months, lol. I got the usual milk, bread etc. I'm trying to only go to the grocery once a week

I was able to get an extension on an appeal brief, so I can actually breathe this weekend. I can't remember the last time I really just took time and relaxed. I'm sure I'll do a little work here and there, since the office is here now, but the pressure of getting the appeal brief filed right away is gone Whew!

Haven't listened to anything in particular. I'm watching Cold Cases on Netflix. Bus driver holiday....I think that's the expression

Glad JB's food came so quickly. The wild birds outside have been giving me the evil eye from the empty feeder, so I bought bird seed today too

Listening to music and feeling quite disgusting. I tried a Stouffer's meat loaf frozen thing - it was really rank, but I ate it because I felt I should. Now I just feel nauseous and disgusted and wish they'd given me the damn package with the Pepcid. I only have one left here.

Page five? Where is the late-night contingent? We know they're home.
