When it absolutely, positively, has to be there by sometime in the next.. um... real soon now?
Having recently spoken to a rather unhelpful representative from DHL, the express envelope containing our letter of acceptance from China is somewhere. But not here. Not here is a problem. "There was a routing mistake, and it'll probably get there, um... Monday." In other words: lost? Don't wow me with your competence or confidence in your transit time estimates. Usually people overnight things that are important, like, oh - documents that were months in the making, involving several governmental bureaucratic entities and agencies, that allow families to adopt children, which need to be returned to our agency ASAP so that we - AND another family who is waiting on us - can adopt! They currently aren't sure where it is in the system, so no, I can't go and pick it up, even if I could hop in the van and drive to wherever it is (like, oh... Kansas or something).
I resisted chewing out the DHL guy, since he probably just got off the phone with somebody else who chewed him out for something, so I'm venting here instead. Vent over, keeping my fingers crossed for Monday. Blagh.
