Waiting for my Kindle

Posted on May 20th, 2011 by Sacha Chua

I’m waiting for the delivery of my Kindle. Well, I’m not really waiting for it. I’m waiting for my co-worker so that I can hitch a ride with him to the office. But my Kindle has made its way from Arizona to Colorado, with a brief stopover in Ontario. (What?!) It got loaded on a delivery truck at 7:27 AM this morning, and now we’re down to the wire and wondering if it’ll get here before my non-morning-person coworker gets his coffee. No big deal if it doesn’t. I can pick it up when I get back to the hotel.

I’m this close to waiting for it and then just taking the bus to work, but that way lies temptation – even though it would be great to fully charge it before heading out later. Must. Resist.

7:56. My coworker has made an appearance. Oh well! I’ll see my Kindle later. =)
