So I mailed my manuscript out yesterday, Express Mail, and checked the box that waives the signature. It's going to a PO box, and there won't be anyone there to sign for it.

So I check the tracking number today, and I see that 'a notice was left, and we will try to deliver again tomorrow'.

Um, fuck?

So I call the national number and explain the situation, and the lady asks me if perhaps the package was too large to fit in the box. It's a manuscript, being sent to a publishing company which is expecting such manuscripts. If it doesn't fit in the box, that's a BIG BIG problem. And slightly unlikely.

She gives me the number for the central post office which handles such things, so I call them. And again they ask me if maybe it wouldn't fit in the box. Hello, do I look stupid? (Yeah, and I've worked tech support, I know, but geez...)

So...she's going to call the local post office and tell them to put it in the damn box, and then she's gonna call me back. And we'll see. I really hope it was just a post office fuckup and easily fixable. If not...man, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
