Today's replacement thing is a 5TB external hard drive that was stolen. I bought the first one not long before I moved out of the last place. The plan was for it to tide me over until I purchased the parts to build a custom NAS, which I was meant to do before I moved in here, but never did..... I actually did buy a motherboard from overseas for it, but I never bought any of the other components lmao, so I just have a motherboard sitting in a drawer. I don't even know if it's functional, because I obviously don't have the rest of the components to test it with.

Interestingly, the Australia Post app told me it was a 2.5kg 60x55x32cm parcel, and I was very confused because the only thing I was expecting from JB Hi-fi was the single hard drive. When it arrived it was more like a 20x15x10cm package, that the sticker says weighs 0.34kg (dimensions just a guess though, I don't know how to eyeball measurements). They did post it in a toll (or "team express global" as they call themselves now) bag with an auspost sticker taped over it though, so maybe AP was just shitty at them ๐Ÿ˜‚

But this is the last thing I think is coming this week, because interestingly both the program manager and my case manager have been MIA since Monday. No contact or out of office auto response on their emails. It's odd. I think this is the last thing from my list they ordered, and they wanted to drag their feet on ordering things. Maybe I need to escalate this to the regional manager again
