This is a joke post.
I'm 30+ and I've been overworked as fuck for the last 2 months. So one evening I said you know what, I'm gonna do a present to myself. As a typical impulsive buyer, I researched for around 15-30 minutes and then buying + the docking station.
And dudes, due to burnout, I kid you not - I checked the shipment tracking about 50-60 times per day. For some reason Steam Deck is something I got incredibly hyped for, even though I've been rarely gaming for the last years due to working. Right now I've bought 2-3 games and I'm not touching them JUST to get to experience them in Steam Deck for the first time.
I'm in the state in which I want to sleep just for the Steam Deck to arrive.
Now for the fun parts - The packet is legit avoiding me. First of, there are delays to my country as a whole, so right now it's 10 working days since my order. I've contacted the shipping company to go over and pick it up when it arrives and when i went yesterday, the said they already gave that to a driver. Then after ~2-3 hours the drivers come by, having only the docking station. At this point I'm questioning whether I actually bought Steam Deck or my device got lost.
After that I noticed that for some weird reason the docking station and Steam Deck was in 2 separate packages. So I contact them again in order to pick it up when available and they said sure, come tomorrow morning. I go over 1 hour earlier than they requested, and they again handed it over to a driver.
At this point I feel like that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. I just hope it arrives and it's not broken. I wouldn't be surprise if it's a box of confeti inside the package.
I know my feeling are a mix of an overworked person trying to find a way to relax, and also the joke that is the communication with this shipment company. But noticing that I react like a 15yo who just waits for the new toy, I find myself very funny.
