I am Error

“I hate UPS. I hate so many things.”

So said my disgruntled husband today, upon seeing the following status for his package on UPS.com:

Your package has experienced an exception.

Awesome. I couldn’t write better error text if I tried.

The package he’s tracking on UPS is his birth certificate, that he ordered a few weeks ago when we thought we needed to apply for new passports. So much for expedited 3-5 day service. We would be completely freaking out at this point if our passports hadn’t been found.

(The title of this post is a quote from Fracktail, for those who haven’t been fortunate enough to experience Super Paper Mario).

  • I’m leaving this comment for all the wrong reasons, so you’ll have to forgive me and my nerdiness:

    While “I Am Error” is from Super Paper Mario, in that game it is actually a reference to Zelda II on the old NES. A character (named Error, incidentally) says ‘I am Error.’ And that’s it. That’s all he says in the whole game.

    Sorry. Enjoy the trip – sounds like a lot of fun. An, uh, I’m getting married.

    Anyway, I digress.

  • Brian — congratulations to you and Laura! That’s wonderful news.
