Ticked: Pro-tip; never trust Mayans when doing financial planning.

Smile: Jury is out on the Incas.

Smile: Nintendo's customer relation service has agreed to refund the entire repair fee for my Wii-U. They agreed it was unfair to charge me for service after convincing me to send it to them for free service (and thus losing the chance to take the console back to the store for a refund).

Frown: It is scheduled to be delivered to my doorstep Christmas Eve. I'll be out of town. *sigh*
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Not celebrating yet. The funds are not in my bank account and the system is not in my living room. Plenty of chances for this saga to continue yet.

:? Been working non-stop since 7am on German. This is after 8 hours straight of it yesterday. My brain! :cry:

On the plus side, today is the last day before I get two nice long weeks of relaxation.

Make sure to get a post office hold. You don't want some UPS guy stealing it.

Lol, coincidentally as I type this I am on hold with UPS trying to get the package held at the store.

Good luck. I hate Brown. I've never had so many problems with any shipping company, including USPS, as I have had with UPS.
