They basically forgot to put it on the truck today

After yesterdays "adverse weather conditions," I spent another entire day (minus a 16 mile am run) waiting around for the package that UPS forgot to put on the truck today. Below is a copy/paste synopsis of the tracking infomation with my personal comments in purple. Why purple? Not sure. Best read from bottom to top. I welcome anyone who might find a thread of logic in the system and is willing to explain it to me.

Haley, I know your pain. My sister is still waiting for a Xmas present that is supposedly waiting since the 17th of Dec. in the Redmond UPS facility. Is she allowed to go pick it up (she lives in Bothell)? No. They aren't sure it's there, that just general gibberish on their website. Tracking numbers are just fun magical numbers to make you think you know where your package it. Good luck!

Good stories Haley. Now I know why you were stuck. I'm working on that anti-training camp since we don't have a pool. I'm going to have to find the winter tri results to see how you did. I hope things are getting better.

OH BUMMER, sorry Haley. That is so lame of them. I hope you get it soon though. If you miss your training camp, come to CA and we will have an awesome camp ;-) XOXO

Thinking of you, what a major pain in the ass. After reading Ben's blog too, I can't believe all the bad luck. Holy cow. Hope everything got resolved.
