the news of the newspaper

A few weeks ago (June 21 to be exact) we signed for a 3 month subscription to the newspaper.  We figured it would be a fun way to learn more about what is going on in the community throughout the summer when we have more time to explore. We were told our first paper would come by the end of the week. 

Friday came= no paper. Saturday=no paper. Sunday= no paper. So on Monday morning we called. They apologized and said we would get one on Tuesday. Tuesday= no paper. We gave them one more day. Wednesday=no paper.  The cycle continues-- we call, they promise paper, we don't get a paper, (repeat x5) By this point it started to get comical. It had been over 2 weeks. We had made more than 6 calls and still no paper.

Last Tuesday we got a call from the newspaper deliverer apologizing and saying he just dropped off a paper and wanted to make sure we got it.  Well, of course we hadn't gotten the paper! BUT we finally found out the problem-- they were delivering our paper to 705 W. Green St. URBANA. And we live on 705 W. Green St. CHAMPAIGN. Never mind the fact that every time we called we told them we live in Champaign. There was a break down in communication.

We finally went to the office on Wednesday and got things figured out. The guy apologized and gave us a credit on our charge and promised a paper.  Less than an hour after we left the guy called just to confirm our address. "705 W. Green St. URBANA?" to which Noah replied "Noooo, Champaign!!!" (Important point for those of you who don't know the area.  Green Street is a major street in town.  And it goes all the way through Champaign and Urbana.  Oddly enough it goes W. Green St (Champaign) E. Green St (Champaign) W. Green St (Urbana) and E. Green St. (Urbana).)

Long story short, we finally got a paper on Thursday and Friday of last week. But then we haven't gotten a paper since. 

We called today, and we are supposed to get a paper tomorrow.  Anyone want to make a bet??
