In case you haven’t been keeping up with our plight, here’s a quick synopsis of what’s been going on.

• On 7/17, we order computer desks and other office furniture from Staples for our home office.
• On 7/24, FedEx delivers one of the computer desks, damaged.
• On 7/25, FedEx delivers the other computer desk, damaged.
  We call Staples to report the damage. They order two new desks.
• On 8/4, FedEx delivers two new computer desks, both damaged.
  We call Staples again to report the new damage. They order two new desks for us and tell us they will be sent via someone other than FedEx.
• And that brings us up to today (8/12)…
  I called Yellow Freight to see where our shipment is since their website says it will be delivered today. The very nice lady on the other end of the telephone tells me the shipment is considered lost because it did not arrive on the truck it was supposed to be on. They want to wait another day to see if it turns up.

We can put a man on the moon. We can fly airplanes across oceans. We can perform surgery on the tiniest parts of the body. We can even teach a computer how to play chess.

But, we can’t figure out where two lost computer desks are.

All you can do … is laugh.

• Update 8/13 9am Yellow Freight has officially declared our shipment as lost. They’re put a ‘tracer’ on the packages and has basically told us there’s nothing else they can really do.
• Update 8/14 9am Yellow Freight has found our shipment and delivery is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed. Let’s hope this third shipment isn’t damaged!
