Reality of Simplicity

So I don't know if you ever get disappointed over small things that really don't matter to anything in life, however, recently I have found myself in this category. Domino's Pizza has completely revolutionized online ordering! It even has an interactive alert process letting you know Who is preparing your food, When it's placed in the oven and even When its sent out for delivery. Sound too good to be true?
After a long day and a frustrating evening, I was too tired to cook and too upset to go anywhere. Sounds like the perfect night to order pizza to me. After ordering the pizza online and paying for it with my convenient Easy Pay Account on Dominos.com, I waited, waited, and waited. After 40 minutes I called to ask where my pizza was that was supposedly sent out by "Daryl" for delivery. I thought "Domino's, We deliver in 30 minutes or your order is free!" This was the first of ruined beliefs. I asked the guy where my pizza was and alerted him that the online tracker stated that the order was already delivered. He responded by telling me that it was a computer generated timer and that it is in no way tied to the actual order. WHAT!? So much for personalized service!!! I have always been most amazed by this interesting feat of technological intelligence!
Day by day I lose my faith in technology. It slips away as it fails me and proves itself more ignorant than a 3 month old comatose snail thriving on no life at all! I guess life as we know it is only as difficult as we allow it to be or even perhaps make it. The simplicity is still there; hidden by our wretched greedy need to be "convenient". Sorry, but I don't consider waiting 73 minutes for a pizza, convenient, especially when an ignorant source tells you to expect it in 30!
