@FedExHelp I don't need you to do anything. It'll get here late. It always does. It's why you guys took "express" out of your name.
It has gotten predictable that I can tack AT LEAST two days to any delivery estimate you give me.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

I told the UPS guy: "Oh yeah. It was @FedEx who told me to expect my package today. That means I won't get it until Friday."
Thanks for being consistent at least.
It will get here eventually. I just wish they wouldn't get my hopes up.

@mofisoundlab @billwithers Are we still looking at "spring", or should I push my expectation back to summer?

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

Hey @mofisoundlab
Any chance that we are going to get our pre-orders of Still Bill from @billwithers this month?
It has almost been a year now.

@fitbit You barely read my tweet. I don't have a lot of confidence that you have customers at the top of your mind.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

Thanks @fitbit for making my decision for replacing my fitness tracker easier. Without the Workweek Hustle, I don't need a tracker anymore. That saves me a few hundred dollars a year.

@mrforbes is there a story behind "Hondo"?
It really is a terrible name, but Ben sure does own it.

.@GooglePlay why do you "suggest" apps "just for me" on my Pixel 6 only to open the Google Play home page?
Productivity apps? Nope. Homepage
Communication apps? Nope Homepage.
Stop please.

@nathaliejacoby1 Not by my choice.

.@MeUndies thanks for the great customer service. RC was great and really took care of me.
Unrelated: your t-shirts are way too short. I don't want it to be baggy but the size that fits me is too short for my torso.

.@LendingTree This is the third time in 5 weeks I have had to unsubscribe from all of your publications. Please stop sending me stuff when I ask you to stop. I might come back, but I don't want it right now.

Hey @misenkitchen the new prices are great news.
Any word on when you are going to start sending out the Carbon Steel cookware you took payment for last May?
Or are we still in the nebulous "mid 2023" realm?

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@CraftRecordings @Vinyl_Lives Are you guys ever going to start shipping this out to the people that have pre-ordered?
I have friends that already have this on their turntable and I preordered it in March.
Same thing has happened with all of the other titles from this series.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@RickCMJ We have deadlines man. I have testing and deployment to do. Of course I can't take that time off, but the boss says I don't have a choice.
Can you imagine a manager telling a waiter they HAVE to take 8 paid days off?

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@RickCMJ Same same. I've been out for more than 13 years and I still have the guilt. My current manager told me that I had to take at least 8 days off before the end of the year.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@RickCMJ The people who feel the most guilty to take time off are people in the service industry.
They get paid less than anyone & their managers are the most likely to raise hell if they ask for time AND the ones who's time off will most negatively affect their coworkers more than mgmt

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

As a fan of military sci-fi, I really hope to read more about haptic recon.
I feel like that would probably be better as stand alone "pulp" series though.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@GreatDismal any clues as to the publication date for the third book of the Jackpot trilogy?
I absolutely love Lowbeer as a character and their shift.
I hope to see more of the actual Jackpot time frame and the resolution of the Klept.
The TV show is good too

@AmazonKindle I lost my 300+ day reading streak because I went on vacation and didn't connect my kindle to hotel WIFI??
Man, that is BS.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@madebygoogle Disabling "absolute volume" is no longer an option btw.
It was really frustrating because I had to bring my @AnkerOfficial ear buds to be able to hear media on the plane AND my Google Buds for phone control and comfort in the airport.

[Mingus Waits (he/his) A man without a @minguswaits]

@madebygoogle is there any way to increase the volume of my Google Buds? I have to disable them to just use my phone because I can't hear the people on the other end.
