That NBN box thingy hasn't moved from sunshine West since it was scanned there for the 12th or 13th time on Friday. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. It could be good, cause they might have already dumped it at wherever the local delivery facility is ready to be scanned in tomorrow morning, or maybe they've sent it back to Adelaide (it took 3 days to/from Adelaide, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's a scan at 2:30 this morning through Adelaide again)

In any case, if it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I'm just going to call up the ISP again and ask for a new one and then return this one to sender whenever it does eventually arrive

Cheers fishy, I know I brought it on myself with the redirection, though

I admire it's perseverance I must admit. It reminds me of me. It started out somewhere shit (Sydney, for it), made it somewhere decent (Melbourne) but didn't realize it, so got scared and ran away to Adelaide where it got lost and confused and very very frightened. But it persevered and made it back to Melbourne, but kept getting bounced from suburb to suburb like a displaced rat. And now it's almost at it's forever home, but isn't sure about it. Will it learn to trust and go find forever happiness, or will we need to wait until the sequel?

Edit: this is a joke for whoever who needed to hear it. Not meant seriously. Lighten up a little! 😆
