Disappointed

I went to collect the modem from Akademihotellet this evening, only to find out that someone else had already taken it. What the... He called on Friday about a package, and the receptionist asked if it was a modem. He said yes, went down and took it away. She didn't even ask for any proof that he was the intended receipient! How can that be possible? Does this mean I can anyhow call and take a package that does not belong to me? Didn't they write my name down on the package, and why didn't they ask for any identification? Aren't these standard operating procedures?

Shoot. Now, I'm left high and dry without my modem. The one for which I paid good money. They better settle this quickly otherwise it'll be a failing mark for them when it comes to feedback time.

I'm sorry default. I have to continue borrowing your bandwidth.

And my rosary had to break this evening as well. I can't find a shop selling them at all. Nada. Zilch. Not a single one. While I managed to fix it, the metal wire is now so weak that it's liable to break off totally at any time. This is sad. I only brought two with me. And if one breaks, I'll be left with only one. The one that I don't want to use; the one that was blessed by Pope John Paul II; the one I don't want to dirty or carry around with me because it was blessed by such a special person; the one I didn't want to bring to Sweden but gave in at the very last minute because it was so special to me. I asked around and nobody knows where I can buy one. I have to ask one of the Fathers or Sisters when I see them next.

Sigh...
