iPod Returned

I had to go to Hell and back last night to pick up my iPod from the repair shop. You send the iPod in via UPS, but they send it back via some obscure shipping company called DHL. Considering I had to sign for the package, I had to arrange to pick it up at their depot.

Their depot was in south Nepean. Krista was gracious to lend me her wheels for the adventure so we high-tailed it down to South Nepean to find this depot. Keep in mind that it’s dark, it’s rainy and it’s 5 PM. That’s right, rush hour.

Let me just say this…traffic is literally insane once you get to the junction of Hunt Club and Prince of Wales, otherwise known as the Gateway To Barrhaven. I don’t even know how people can manage getting into that cramped in spot to their community. Gak. I almost got caught in it, but didn’t make the turn quick enough but realized I can just go up another block and find the depot easily.

Anyhow, after some pains at the depot, I ripped open my package to find a brand new iPod! Yay! Now, it’s not the newest version (which I had thought for a whole two minutes as it said iPod instead of iPod photo on the back) but it is a new iPod with a colour screen (no video capabilities).
