Just to make a person worry...

Yesterday I prepared about 25 packages for pickup by Purolator this morning.

This morning, as I come in and check my email, I find 25 messages from Purolator saying "shipment cancelled".

Of course I panicked. All my hard work!

So I phoned them. Turns out they were just re-allocating my pickups by consolidating them as one. Did I need to know that?

I will be relieved when they've been here and taken the packages... So I can be sure they're on their way.

I'll have another pile to go this afternoon. This aside, I like working mail duty.

Good Night, Sweet Prince...

Watched the film of the David Tennant version of Hamlet this evening with maaseru and Pim.

What a show. Keep in mind that I adore Shakespeare with a passionate passion, and Hamlet is my favourite of his plays. I've seen a lot of Hamlets, from the embarrassingly terrible to the brilliant.



I'd heard Tennant's performance was good, and I'd also heard it was over the top - that Tennant starts on such a note of hysteria, or madness, that he left nowhere to go for the emotions to escalate.

It must have been someone who really liked understated performances who said that, since I thought Tennant was just about perfect. I'm not saying he was the best of all Hamlets, or that there could be a definitive Hamlet, or that I haven't seen other great versions: I am saying that I found Tennant to be expressive, interesting, sympathetic, dynamic and utterly natural in the role.
