the replacement cell phone.....

ok, so a major source of anxiety this week has been the connection with the cell phone insurance folks regarding cell phone damage, and the arrival of the replacement phone.......with a saturday departure to d.c.......there was great anticipation of the phone arriving in time......nothing came on tuesday, wendesday, thursday....and so friday i opted to actually look at the emails sent by cingular/dhl....to my horror, the dhl folks reported the phone as delivered on wednesday at 1:00 pm......which couldn't be true because there were people in and out of the house/up to grandma's yard on wednesday afternoon and a delivery truck would be noticed......and so the phone calls to cingular/dhl began...with assurances that the wayward package would be retrieved from the hinterland and delivered unto our door.....yeah, right......and so the cell phone's owner drove away on saturday with a broken handset...and no idea where the replacement could be.....until this afternoon....when my mother called me to report that the folks on the main road who found the package on their doorstep had delivered it to our house.....no numbers similar in our addresses...only the road versus circle......these folks have their name on the mailbox and it is certainly not ours.....omg....
