My entire day today is optimized around the red eye I’m taking tonight.

Your Daily Lex.

Liam, Ani, and I all woke up at five in the morning.

Lauren, 530, Sierra 6.

But the goal is, I want to be tired later on today when I’m on the plane.

The plane takes off, or is supposed to go around 945 950, something like that.

And according to flighty, this plane has been late, uh, 89% of the time in the past 60 days and more than 45 minutes late, uh, still more than half the time, like 60% of the time.

So that’s fine.

But so I, uh, went to sleep early and got up early at five and, um, you know, did a workout, did my normal stuff, just shifted early and, uh, have had no caffeine today so that I will hopefully fall asleep on the plane.

Uh, I, the only thing I don’t have that probably would be worth getting, I just, I can’t find one that works for me is a good, um, airplane pillow, but that’s fine.

It’s going to be me and Liam next to each other.

Uh, the others will be behind this.

Uh, and just the goal is to sleep on this flight.

Cause when you lay it, it’s 10, something in the morning there, I think 10 55 in the morning in France.

So, um, we’re gonna, we’re gonna make it work somehow or other, but the whole day now it’s now I’m in like wasted hours.

Cause now it’s, I’m recording this at 1 11 PM and, uh, not going to head to the airport until a five handle and I’m close to six.

And it’s like, what are we now?

I’m just kind of wasting time.

I’m packed already.

Uh, but I had a fun experience with Amazon yesterday.

I had, uh, yesterday morning decided to order a couple extra adapters, plug adapters for while you’re in France.

And, uh, I saw that I could get some that could arrive by, it was like guaranteed delivery tonight, meaning last night.

So guaranteed delivery Thursday night by 9 PM.

And some of the could arrive before eight in the morning, Friday.

I was like, great.

Both of those things work out great.

So I, uh, ordered some of each and all went well because I got the notification from Amazon last night around, I don’t know, seven, something PM.

Hey, uh, your package was delivered.

And I was like, great.

So I go out to get the package.

I don’t see it.

And then I look closer and the Amazon thing says it was left in the mail room and there’s no photo.

Usually get a photo.

Um, but it was guaranteed delivery by tonight.

They said it was left in the mail room.

So I contact Amazon support via chat and they’re like, uh, yeah, sorry.

It will be there by tomorrow.

I’m like, well, I’m doing really good.

If it comes tomorrow and today, I need it today and a day.

Cause we’re going internationally.

Can you reach the driver?

And they said, let me escalate this.

And then I’m talking to somebody else.

And that person’s like, you can get it tomorrow.

And I’m like, no, I need it today.

I’m flying internationally tomorrow.

And she’s like, okay, I’m going to get somebody to do an emergency delivery from the warehouse.

Like we have a truck that does all the, the missed ones.

So they’re going to come out to you and it’ll be there by nine.

So of course nine comes and goes and there’s nobody here.

And I’ve taken my sleeping pill and I want to go to sleep, but I can’t check in for my flight yet.

I still have to wait a little bit.

So I decided this time I’m going to have Amazon call me instead of doing the chat support.

And I explained my predicament to the person on the phone.

And this person was very stupid.

Like, I don’t like to be mean, but this person was very stupid.

Uh, and, um, he’s like, oh, well we can get it to you by Sunday.

And I’m like, well, don’t do me any freaking good.

I already explained to you what the situation is.

He’s like, oh, I’m sorry.

Well, we can get it to you with two day shipping.

So you’ll have it by Saturday.

Like, again, that doesn’t, I’m not going to be here.

Uh, you guys have screwed the pooch.

You have no way to help me.

Um, and I’m like, I specifically ordered those items, which weren’t necessarily the cheapest ones because of their guaranteed delivery tonight.

Like it didn’t say probably it’s a guaranteed delivery by tonight.

It was like, yeah, I’m sorry.

Uh, what if we get them to you on Saturday?

And then I’m just like, oh my God, just let me get off this call.

So I think what’s going to happen now is he shipped more that are going to come while I’m away.

But you know, don’t worry about that.

We’ve got people taking care of the house, but, uh, I was asking him, Hey, well, the ones that you say are delivered that aren’t here, get delivered tomorrow.

Is there any chance?

And he’s like, no, those, if those say delivered, then they’re gone.

Uh, he was wrong about that too.

They arrived today.

So I’ll have two more adapters come that I don’t need.

Uh, but I have all the adapters that I do need because the ones that were supposed to arrive by eight o’clock this morning did.

And the ones that were supposed to arrive by something last night arrived later this morning, whatever.

Uh, but we’ve got all the adapters.

So we’re set.

We’re packed.

I’ve got my packing list.

I got my Disney list cause we’re going to hit Disneyland Paris while we’re there.

Uh, we’ve got a nice robust agenda.

I think the only thing left to stress me out is, well, I sleep on the red eye and, uh, will I, will I master the E-sim situation?

I think I will, but we’ll see.

Anyway, I hope you have a great week.

I’m not banking episodes for you.

Like I said, I’ll miss you terribly, dear, your daily Lex listeners.

And uh, I hope it’s a wonderful time for you as June slowly segues to July.

Goodbye Lex.
