Wot?

Seems to be the day for cryptic posts.

In this case some camera bits, but can apply to just about anything

Bit of a rant!

I am expecting a delivery but not had any notifications about when it will be delivered.

Clicking on the link provided by the supplier goes to the couriers as you would expect, so all good there.

At the couriers tracking gizmo nothing, nada, zilch.

Copy tracking number and paste into relevent box, whoopee, we have your parcel and will be delivered to you today.

So what happened to customer service letting me know, they have my email, they have my phone number, is it so hard to send a notification.

I can't see how though, as so many seem very capable of performing this task seamlessly, some even have a little map showing where their driver is in relation to where you are.

FEDEX need to get their fingers out, and improve their system.

Rant over!

Best thing for us about Covid, we have a porch and they mainly leave the good in there Parcels arrive by magic.. 
Some delivery drivers are not so bright, open the porch ring the bell then leave it out side 
 

[dynax]

I think I should rant a bit more it's just been delivered

When you haven't used something for a while, and you remember where you had put them, only to find it's not there, luckily the bits that I wanted and needed were there just not in the way i was expecting to find them.

 So fingers crossed i can get out today and use them

I wouldn't waste my time

Besides which it would be of no benefit to myself to even attempt it

I don't think you have to chase it. Its more of a natural talent surely?

There are those that have a hunger for it, so much so they would teach their grandmother to suck eggs, then sell her as comedy act.

So who am I to deprive that sort of commitment

What’s caused the return to the office at this point?

I suppose the weekend will seem all the sweeter?

Company guidelines - 'we are not a work from home company, we are an office based company'.   Yeah, the weekend will seem that little bit sweeter - been a strange week...

Good Evening 

Thought of you today. Happened upon a word Im not familiar with ‘sinecure’ looked it up and thought “oh like rennie” 

Edited December 9, 2020 by Slowlycatchymonkey

[rennie]

I'll have to look it up now!  will I like it? 

[rennie]

well it could be worse I suppose! to a certain extent I get paid for what I know not what I do

but I do have to do stuff quite often, it would probably be noticed more if I didn't do it than when I do,

people think stuff happens by magic

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Pulling your leg @rennie 

It’s more the sort of thing I’d like to have now!

Yesterday my son said “well things just happen here, I don’t know how they happen, I don’t see it but then it’s nothing to do with me”

Good Morning

Why is it that you have to wait for months to receive a reply from the local county council for a response to whether you can trim a tree (not a protected one) whereas, you get a new CRB check done on the same day?
