Being a guy who rarely goes out “shopping”, I have this bad case of “ordering stuff online”. It has become slightly better lately (thank you) with the advent of “having to order stuff for my business” (weee!).

So today, a big and curiously light package arrived. I did not remember ordering something that was both big and light (Balloons? Scottish Air? A Bag of Extra Light Self-Hatred?). The only thing I remember ordering were some CDs and office supplies… and the CDs had already arrived earlier.

Opening the package up, A sea of packing material awaited me (NOT filled with Scottish Air - as far as I could tell it was plain German Air) and it took me a while to find the actual content:

Leaving aside the obvious question about why I need 4 metal rulers (obviously the answer would be - “Hey, what would I do if THREE OF THEM BREAK AT ONCE”)…

Seriously - a 64x21x39cm (the rulers work very well) package for four rulers? Do you want to make me feel bad about ordering too much stuff online?
