What’s the deal with these package delivery notifications? You get the email: ‘Your package has been delivered!’ Great! You rush to the door, nothing. Check the porch, check behind the plant, check the neighbor’s porch just in case they’re playing a prank. Still nothing! Five minutes later, *bam*, there it is! Just… sitting there. Was it invisible for those five minutes? Did the delivery guy just send the email from the truck before he even got to my street? Or is the package simultaneously delivered and not delivered until I physically observe it? It’s like a quantum physics experiment, but with my new ergonomic cheese grater. And then they say, ‘Check your tracking often!’ Why? So I can confirm it’s not there, and then confirm it *is* there? What’s the point of the alert if the alert isn’t *really* alerting me?
