work, fedex woes, moody gardens

I worked till 9:00pm last night, and groomed four dogs. I'll be working closing shifts about twice out of the four days I'm to work each week. So far everything is going fine, although I'm concerned about "mandatory meetings" for store associates, which are apparently only held on the Lord's Day. I'm going to have to talk with the store manager and see if there's any way we can work around this.

FedEx... have I mentioned how much I dislike FedEx? I'm pretty sure I did in a blog last fall. Anyway, the equipment I ordered was destined to arrive last Thursday, and it is now nearly Wednesday and I still don't have my package. The reason for this is simply that they lost the package. As you can imagine, I'm not very pleased about this. The shipper can't file a complaint until 10 business days have passed from the time the package was lost, and add on top of that the time it would take to make a new order... it could be a long time before I get my equipment. This is rather a large problem seeing I really needed it yesterday.

Mark and I met up with James and Hayley at Moody Gardens on Saturday. We went to a somber Titanic exhibit with artifacts and details about the the incident, watched a neat 3D IMAX about the Grand Canyon, and then had a peaceful ride on a paddlewheel boat.
