Guilt. Perhaps Misplaced.

Written by sally @ 2:23 pm — Section: sally

I just changed the shipping options on a package from Amazon because I felt guilty thinking about the Amazon and UPS people running around crazily trying to get my package to me overnight. Overnight, to me, is for emergencies: Christmas is tomorrow! I need these shoes for my wedding! The test is on Tuesday and I have to read the book immediately! Somehow thinking about all the sweaty people involved in a getting Spike a 14″ plush Bert doll just made me feel terrible.

    I think it’s very sweet that you assume the UPS people give a flying toot about whether or not you actually get your package on time.

    Bert can lollygag on his way to your house, but methinks Ernie best follow swiftly.

    Also, overnight just shows me how lazy the other mail is.

    Ernie is already in the hizzouse, as Ernie is beloved and available at all stores. Bert, however, is a curmudgeon that retailers thumb their noses at. Spike’s been asking, though: “Where Bert?”

    Poor Burt! The neat & tidy muppets always get the short end of the stick.
