jazzfishI have been to the post office three times today.
According to Canada Post my copy of the very nice Subterranean Press edition of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms arrived on Saturday. This is mildly nerve-wracking as I realised after it shipped that I had put the wrong PO box on the shipping address. It's only mildly nerve-wracking because on Friday I mentioned this to a postal worker there, who made a note and took it to the back room.
I stopped by this morning on the way home. There was a package notice in my mailbox but it turned out to be for the package I picked up on Friday. There was a whole mess of people in line at nine in the morning so I figured I'd try again at lunchtime.
Which I did, because I needed to drop off my package for the BoardGameGeek Secret Santa (which I did for a few years in DC and then stopped due to lifestress, but it /did/ result in my getting involved with my DC gaming group). Still no package notice but the (different) postal worker said she was aware of the note and the packages for today hadn't been processed yet.
No package notice at 4:45 today either. Grr.
(I am waiting to put in my preorder of The Broken Kingdoms until I have Hundred Thou in my hands, partly so I can confirm that yes this is something I want and partly to make sure I get the same number of the numbered edition, because that is the kind of brain I have. Preorders close in a week, so I guess if I don't have it by then I'll just order and hope that a) Subterranean can figure out which number it's supposed to be and b) Hundred Thou turns up eventually.)
This has been a very very bad brain day for a variety of reasons. Stress over my book that was SUPPOSED to be here now DAMMIT except for how I SCREWED IT UP has not helped matters.
