Light blogging

Sorry for the light blogging lately. I'm a person who either says everything on my mind or nothing at all. The situation with my arbeits permit is getting a little hectic (should work out, but it's kind of up in the air right now) and shouldn't be publicly described right now. So since I'm not permitting myself to say anything about that, everything else is kind of stopped up right now. It's kind of a bottleneck. Sorry.

Oh, I went to Amazon.de and ordered three books. However, I failed to notice one of them doesn't publish until April (!) so the entire shipment is held up until then. I need to go in and pick something else and delete that book from the order. I need to pick something else because shipping is only free for orders over 20Euro, and deleting that book puts it under that limit.

Hiya Jinglelady,
I've had that problem and have used the order tracking section on amazon.de to cancel part of the order. Just cancel the part for the book that won't be published until April, then reorder it as a separate order. Then the other things will get sent right away.
Gruss from Anne,

Ok, I'm a moron and got to excited about the first part of that paragraph and didn't see that you'd already figured that out. I could offer recommendations for other books, if you like. :P
