    God damn it. I live in Chicago and I haven't gotten mine yet. My badge from last year never showed up either and I had to get one on Thursday evening.

    I think my mailman is stealing them.

    Because you are trying to put a webpage in image tags, you need to put the direct link in the image tags, like so:

    39 y/o, 13 years as a tech and I'm still a bleeding idiot. Thanks for pointing that out (the image vs. webpage thing, not the idiot thing. I already knew about the idiot thing).

    Still haven't gotten mine, but I did manage to get a birthday card from my grandmother sent from a small town near Utica and that only took two days to cross the country to San Francisco.

    How a piece of hand-stamped mail can get here from an equal or further distance in significantly less time has me wondering whether they were actually sent out on the 12th or not.

    Being in a company that has to work with USPS on a regular basis, it doesn't really surprise me.

    We used to be able to ship priority mail faster from SLC, UT to New York than SLC, UT to Phoenix, AZ because of the way they route their mail. The company switched over to FedEx completely about 5 years ago and we've never looked back.

    Not that I'm saying PA should do so. Just saying this sort of anamoly happens.

    Note: Should say "had to work with USPS on a regular basis". As mentioned, we don't anymore. Things may well have changed in the years since.

    Well, you're dealing with a company that has the gall to charge you extra in order to ensure that they actually deliver it and are held responsible if they don't. The idea that I have to purchase separate insurance for a package always manages to infuriate me. The only service they offer:take an item somewhere else and be certain that it arrives there without damage to the contents, should be warranted simply because it's what they do.

    "Yeah, we know you told us to deliver your package, but we just smashed it up and threw it out the window of the truck for the hell of it. You should have paid our optional 'we'll actually do it' fee if you wanted us to do what you paid for."

    Meh. It'll probably be in the mail today or over the weekend. Incidentally, what's the process if they don't arrive?

    I work for a place that gets hundreds of packages a day. This pretty much describes every carrier, ever.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get an RGA on some shattered glassware.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

    Then again, I've been in the computer field (until I retired 4 years ago to raise my girls) that I must have a dozen or so lanyards floating around here........

    If I remember correctly the convention center staff/security handed you a lanyard as you came in for the first time after the swag bag last year

    I got my lanyard at the door when I showed my pass the first time last year. The swag bag though was harder LOL some guy was hording a laundry cart of them back near the wait room and handing them out to young people, mainly pretty girls ... so I had to go ask for one >.<
