The place I ordered it from is 10 miles away, but because I selected the free 5-10 business day delivery, they are going to make sure I don&#8217;t get it for at least the 5 day minimum. You just know it&#8217;s sitting at the post office down the street right now when it could be in my hands. <\/p>\n<p>I have to go to the dreaded DMV on Friday because we realized today that my license plate registration expires this month. For whatever reason, the DMV did not send me a renewal notice. They sent Joe one, however, and his doesn&#8217;t expire until next month. Of course, they sent it to the old address. Why? Who knows? You&#8217;d think the same database where they store your driver&#8217;s license address information would also use that address for your registration, but I guess it doesn&#8217;t. Because that would make sense and we don&#8217;t want the Department of Motor Vehicles actually doing something right for a change.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been renting Season 1 of <em>Dead Like Me<\/em> from Blockbuster over the past month and we&#8217;ve made it to Volume 4, which is the last few episodes of the season. Every time we visit BB, which is at least once a week, we check for it but it is NEVER there. Finally today we asked the guy ringing us up when it&#8217;s due back, and he told us they don&#8217;t carry it. When we pointed out that they have Volumes 1-3, he said it was probably stolen. Joe suggested they take the box for Volume 4 off the shelves, but you could tell from this dingbat&#8217;s response that he really didn&#8217;t care and won&#8217;t do anything about it. So much for customer service. The least he could have done was <strong>pretend<\/strong> to care. Now I have to call all the other nearby BBs to find this disc. If it wasn&#8217;t for the fact that I never pay for rentals (thank you, Discover card), I&#8217;d sign up for Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Postal Service is holding the Scrubs DVD set I ordered on Wednesday hostage.
