Nothing like a paperwork run around to make you want to take a baseball bat to something… anything.

The nice people at the Vespa dealership would of course like a check when I take delivery of the scooter. The bank won’t give me a check until they have a signed purchase order. I can’t get a signed purchase order until the scooter comes in and there is a VIN to put on the paper. Oh, and the purchase order has to be to the bank before 2 pm, or it has to wait till the next business day.

Should I cross my fingers that the scooter comes in tomorrow, so that I can then run around like a chicken with it’s head cut off to get paperwork where it needs to be, when it needs to be there? Or do I hope that it just waits until Monday after my EAD final is done and turned in, after I have driven up to Livermore and back for a baby shower (which I have yet to purchase a gift for cause the baby blanket is at the same point as 3 days ago), after my Library of Congress cataloging assignment is turned in?
