You know, I was gonna be all huffy about Dell possibly not shipping my computer out until next Wednesday (I will probably still be sorta huffy), but I have to say they do their best to explain why this should be. I wish I'd known that it wasn't going through to my credit card ahead of time so I could have used it yesterday on the money I spent for my Dad's birthday gift, too.

But I forsee a new internet wasting-time-type diversion: constantly refreshing my order status to see if the computer checklist gets to "Boxing" any time soon. Dell breaks it up as "Order Processing," followed by "Pre-production," which is then subdivided into the "In Production" categories: Kitting, Build, Testing, and Boxing. I assume "Boxing" is actually packaging the machine to ship to me versus putting it in its casing, as it doesn't do much good to test a machine without all of its parts assembled and covered as they are to be used.

But then there is the "Shipping Prep" part of this, too...mmm, puzzling. Maybe I should refresh the page...

It's important to do both.

The boxing stage involves kangaroos, I swear.

Awesome. I got this totally cool boxing kangaroo pen for a friend when I was in Australia. You can never underestimate the power of a kangaroo--for good or for evil.
