New Toy

My new toy arrived yesterday. Woohoo!

[Aside: UPS Suck. I arrived home to find a UPS truck outside my apartment, so I ask the guy if there is a package for me - afterall, I was expecting one. He said that he didn't, and that it would probably come tomorrow. I went inside, a little frustrated. After talking to S, I went back downstairs to double-check with him - the UPS website said the package was Out for delivery i.e. in a van. I then found a note that the UPS guy left on the front door of the apartment block after I left saying that he had attempted delivery and no-one was home. That wasn't true because S and I were in the apartment. So I went to the Dry Cleaners room - the place UPS drops undeliverable packages. They didn't have my package either, so I drove around the complex and finally found the UPS van at another apartment block. After confronting him again, he handed over the package - he said he got "confused". This made me angry because he lied to my face about the package, and then put the note on the apartment security door after lying and didn't attempt delivery. This isn't the first time a UPS driver has been too lazy to deliver a package either. At least the camera arrived safely.]
