And the books are finally in!

A few months ago I had participated in a contest held by Site5 — my webhost — and, surprisingly, won it! The prize was David Allen’s book Getting Things Done (which I really-really wanted to get hold of).
Right after I got the confirmation of my winning the contest I sent in my shipping details. One month passed and I got no confirmation. I reminded them about it and then another month passed. Then another.
Thinking this was another fluke contest (as other winners of previous contests were complaining the same thing), I forgot about it and moved on.
Fast forward till today and I had an amazon.com package waiting for me as soon as I returned home from work. Here’s what I found inside it -
Voila! Site5 also added bonus book — Ready for Anything — along with the promised prize.
Awright Site5, I might give you another year of my business as you have proved that along with providing a ‘consistently’ excellent hosting service, you also keep your word — no matter how long it takes.
I am impressed, honestly.
Oh, now I am just waiting to win a contest with iPod as a giveaway (muwaaaaaaaa! I really want it). :p

Hah! Bryan, you know what – Computers, iPods and Women are something you will always have this problem with! As soon as you order one you will be happy that you have ordered the best possible model but when you see what others have, you will hit yourself for not waiting a bit longer.
Damn, I am ready to take anyting that resembles an iPod even remotely but someone should be willing to give it.
