timepieceNote to self:
Next time you need to renew a passport, put a travel date much earlier than actual date.
The passport office says they put my new passport in the mail, and it should be here by the 4th. My plane leaves on the 8th. I would have liked it to get here MUCH earlier, especially since I shelled out for expedited service.
[bites nails]
It does not help that the tracking number they provided says only:
"U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on April 2, 2007 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date."
This has happened to me before. What it probably means is that it is in the mail, but they neglected to actually scan it in when they picked it up. Which means tracking will not tell me anything until I've received it, WHICH KIND OF LOSES THE FREAKING POINT OF TRACKING, NOW, DOESN'T IT?
I just need to think positive.
