UPS - Unbelievably Poor Service

Last weekend I shipped my sister her birthday present, a dvd/vhs combo player. We went down to the ups store to ship it out, along with some other items. The dvd player box was still sealed, never opened. We handed it over to the girl behind the counter to place it in a plain brown box (so it didn't scream "steal me!") and she taped that all up too. We gave her our $12.21 and went on our way, placing our trust in UPS and their employees. This afternoon I received a voicemail from my sister saying "thanks for the empty box ha ha where's my present?" Apparently the outer box was opened, the inner box opened, everything but the styrofoam removed and then the outside box taped back up. She realized it wasn't a joke when she saw that the shipping label said it was 15lbs. She called UPS and they started an investigation. Here's hoping they reimburse us for the value of the player. I hate shipping stuff. :P

Spent a few hours this afternoon with britni running around on Belmont and Clark looking for Halloween costumer fodder. She grabbed a short skirt for her Japanese Schoolgirl costume, I found nut-zing. We ended up at the Bamboo Garden at 3203 N Clark St., Chicago, IL. Good chinese food for a decent price. Would be a great place for lunch. I had the General Chow Chicken and Brit had the Chicken with cashews, and now we're waiting on Banana Won-tons for desert. We had thoughts of Arepem when we saw the electrical outlets at every table. And to boot, the only other table at one point had an sk2 as well.
Surely you can't be serious..

After checking out a new apartment (which looks promising), we ran over to get my car checked up for emissions. The nice surprise was that Illinois doesn't charge for the test like the other states I've lived in. So in the end it cost me 5 minutes and the cost of a stamp to mail the postcard back in. Score!
