NB I-5 in Sacramento shut down due to deadly big rig crash

Wind was pretty damn strong this morning, and it was coming down pretty hard once I hit West Sac. Took an extra 10 mins to get to work today.

Morning....Friday Eve couldn't come soon enough
Running on about 2.5-3hrs of sleep today as it is my on call week and one of our locations went down early this morning
I did manage to make it into work only 15mins late as a light sprinkle coming from the sky means everyone has to drive 35mph.

I can't stand FedEx. I have never had a problem wit USPS and only one issue with UPS that wasn't their fault, but the shipper's. With FedEx, it seems every other shipment, coming or going, there's some hiccup.
My favorite with FedEx: I bought an exhaust (shut up) off a kid on NASIOC. Before I got it, I happened upon another exhaust locally (I said SHUT UP) and decided against keeping the first one. I found a buyer for the first exhaust so all I would have to do is cover the original shipping label with the new one. I have this issue with FedEx coming to my house so I try to opt for picking the package up at the store near my house whenever I can. When I went to go get the package, and subsequently ship it back out, the box looked like it had been drug behind the trailer for several miles, but still maintained its structural integrity--which is to say it was all in one piece with no holes. I even commented on the condition of the package to the Jenny Craig reject behind the counter. After explaining what I intended to do with shipping the package back out (keep in mind, the box had not left the FedEx store and, quite literally, not left the sight of the employee), the employee said, "Oh.. we can't ship this package in this condition. It's just too well .. uh, loved."
Are. You. ****ing. Kidding. Me.
Obviously, you can see the paradox here. If they don't ship "packages in this condition", then there are only two logical explanations: (a) The package was not in that condition prior to entering into the custody of FedEx, presumably better condition, and that it got the **** kicked out of it while in the custody of FedEx, OR (b) The employee was trying to extort a "packaging fee" to repackage the item. The latter became obvious when they wanted to charge me $100 to remove and repackage the exhaust in a "container suitable for transport per FedEx policy." After much arguing and long discussion with manager, I took the package, as is, to the UPS store up the street and shipped it out for half the cost and without repackaging.
Yeah. **** FedEx.

Also Jenny and Chris aren't married yet, so was this a girl that Chris dated at some point or...?
