Arggggghhhhh!

I needed to ship an important little box with a special cable it it to my business partner. So I fired up the FedEx software on my computer. It asked if I wanted to update. I said no, I have seen how slow that is in the past. I enter all the address data, and the package data and the tracking info.
Nope, screw you dummy, you have to install the update first. Why did it even give me an option. Ok. Install update. Nope, get that done after 20 min. Enter two pages of info, nope screw you dude, you have to restart the software to and update.
Restart computer and reload software. It takes several minutes to load as they display REALLY HAPPY people using the FedEx shipping services. They all have huge grins.
Ok, re-enter two pages again, nope ha-ha gotcha dude, you still need to update som software. WTF!

After the 4th try I said screw it, and drive to the FedEx drop off place that I had to go to anyway. It is almost dead center of downtown of heavy traffic central for rush hour traffic. As I wait through 3 cycles of lights to turn left, along comes a fire truck. They can turn the lights green for them, and they screwed me of my left turn. So I wait one more rotation, turn left and get to the place. He entered the address, and bingo, it is shipped.
I will figure out the software tomorrow. Grumble grumble hurumph hurumph.
