The quest is over
IT ARRIVED!
[And you thought vampires are bad. They're nothing compared to the alien
white squirrels!] [1]
Two days [2] after my quest [3], I received an email naming a price (which
was pretty much what I thought it would be) and that they had set aside one
of the banners. Unfortunately, I received the email too late to pick it up
that day. I replied that I would pick it up on Friday as we were leaving
town. Shortly thereafter, I received another reply that it would be waiting
for me at the front desk.
Unfortunately, on Friday [4], with all the packing and loading of the car and
it being o'god-it's-too-early-to-be-doing-this, we were a solid fifty miles
out of town before I remembered I was supposed to pick up the banner.
Sigh.
I called to say I would call back on Monday to do the order and have it
shipped.
On Monday, I called, only to find out the person responsible was out of the
office and would call me back on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, I called just before they [5] closed and again, the person
responsible was out of the office.
On Wednesday, at o'god-who-is-this-calling-me-at-this-time-of-the-day, I
finally received a call back. The sale was made, the shipping was paid, and
then it was a waiting game.
I did not expect it to be delivered so quickly.
