tracking numbers

4 packages in the mail.
3 different tracking websites.
UPS
USPS
FEDEX

4 tabs in my browser.
4 arbitrary series of letters and numbers.
4 refresh buttons to hit every 15 minutes.

Arlington, Spokane, Industry, Memphis... Hong Kong?

Every day the departures and arrivals pile up.
Every day I get a bit more jealous of my parcels' travels.

They get passed around their state of origin for a while.
2 or 3 stops.
Cut the package some slack! It's still a greenhorn.
Once it figures out what it's doing, it makes a huge jump to Pittsburgh or Chicago.
Maybe even Cleveland.

Then, that precious moment.
TONAWANDA, NY.
out.
for.

Thanks to my diligence, tracking numbers, and NORAD like command center
i have wasted nearly 4 man hours of my life.
