The storied Harry Potter book arrived in the mail on Tuesday morning.
Seems my frustrations were more-or-less unfounded, but I was under the impression it wasn't going to arrive for a week or more. After spending half and hour on hold with Indigo, I finally got to speak with someone.
"I was wondering about my order, I placed it a long time ago and it looks like it hasn't shipped yet..."
The girl paused a moment, dread creeping into her voice. "Is this about Harry Potter?"
As it turns out, shipping went according to my plan, and I should have received it Monday morning. Because of the huge number of copies shipped, there was a slight breakdown in the system (not used to handling such a volume of books at once) and it took the extra day to reach me.
On top of that, they just stopped updating peoples orders online, so nobody had any idea if/when their book had shipped. "Do you know how much time it would take to update everyone's information?" the girl scoffed.
Oh, excuse me...I thought this was the information age...
Anyway I'm about halfway through, which is preposterous since I've had it two whole days. But I've only had the chance to sit down a few times and delve into it. So far it's very good, and very different from the other novels in the series. Hopefully I'll be done this weekend, but I've also been working on two essays for my trip to France that have to be handed in August 1st. Sadly they take (some) precedence over Harry Potter.
Thank you for all who were concerned about my mental well being during this time of crisis.

She scoffed. How funny.
How much easier it would have been if the company she represents had simply placed a disclaimer on their to alert ALL customers about the situation.
Enjoy the book. I am sure I will read them at some point.
