It was about 45 degrees, so not too cold. Nothing exciting to report, standard commute. Since UPS didn&#8217;t leave my package, I actually had to go and pick it up, so I got to ride out to somewhere new.\u00a0 It was quite fun, but I think I really need to get better at turning.\u00a0 Luckily, I seem to have the power to deflect cars from driving around me as it seems whenever I am out riding, there are never any cars around me (although this could also have to do with the time of day that I usually ride).<\/p>\n<p>While I was waiting at the UPS center for them to find my package, there was this woman who was picking up a COD package.\u00a0 Apparently she had called and they supposedly had told her it was $234, so she got a money order for that amount; however, the real total was $235 and they would not accept cash to cover the $1.\u00a0 Now this woman got seriously irate, to the point where she was going to give them $5 for the $1, which they still would not accept.\u00a0 What was sad and hilarious at the same time was when the woman asked to speak to the manager, who just happened to be standing there also and he goes on to say that they do not accept cash no exceptions.\u00a0 She then started saying that she was going to sue UPS, which the manager, almost cheerfully, told her to go ahead, they have a &#8220;battery of lawyers.&#8221;\u00a0 eventually she ended up leaving to get a money order for $1.\u00a0 Shitty situation all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, well, I managed to not post anything yesterday, so I figured I&#8217;d post today to make up for it.
