It was a speedy drive home. Getting a park directly out the front of my apartment building was a "sign".
16:29:50 - shivering with anticipation, I unlocked my box and there was no modem, but a very promising slip stating something has arrived from Australia Post.
16:29:51 - shuddering with realisation that it may be complete box set of Gilmore Girls Series 1 - 7 that I ordered from Bigpond Shopping (too ashamed to buy in person in shop).
16:29:59 - back in car to drive to Post Office.
16:30:10 - arrive Post Office (it is 70m down road).
16:33:15 - reach front of queue after agonising 3 minute wait.
16:33:45 - and the winner appears from out the back and it is..... Bigpond Broadband!
16:33:46 - brief moment of disappointment as realise Gilmore Girls has not arrived.
16:33:46.5 - come to senses. Slap self.
16:39:03 - open box in kitchen. Surprisingly all contents is there and appears intact. Plug modem in, modem works, have connection, but can't connect to it. Call Bigpond. Yell at Parneet. Parneet fixes. All is well. I'm connected.
17:03:01 - Bigpond and I roll over to face opposite directions, and light our cigarettes.
In all, an anticlimax.
