Epic fail

There I was, all excited about my new bits and pieces coming through the post. I knew it would be today (good old reliable dpd) so I checked the mailroom for the parcel (uni halls).

Me: Any mail for flat 7?
Man: No
Me: Are you sure? dpd says its been delivered...
Man: Nope nothing

I walked away blaming the man for not producing my parcel, when the dpd website quite clearly states it has been delivered.........

It was indeed delivered, to my other address 121 miles away.

Delivered to the wrong address

Was getting some patriot viper 2 sector 5 ram, and some blue lights for the case, and some other bits and bobs.

Turns out my corsair ram is incompatible with my mobo somehow, according to corsair tech support anyway. Errors in dual channel but fine in single.

Your misfortune was not totally worthless,
It's just reminded me to change the delivery addresses for the shops/sites I use as I used to get them shipped to where I used to work.
