Had an appointment at this university I'm translating for at 11. Arrived 11:10. It's now 11:35 and all I've gotten is "I'll just be a minute".
I have a lunch reservation that I have no intention of missing after the stress of last night and this morning. The really cheap shipping company (that actually partners with UPS) won't give any coverage for personal items, so I'm pulling all the valuable stuff out to send in one box via DHL. Power cables and clothes hangers I can afford to lose, as well as some of my jackets, if it comes to that, but my kitchen knives and nice coats…
