I took today off work because I had ordered a new graphics card so I could enjoy Oblivion this weekend. Shipping info specified delivery between 08.00 and 12.30 so I sat by the window the entire morning. Then, the shipping info changed to “12.30-15.30” so I continued waiting. And I felt a bowel movement coming on.

Knowing my luck, I tried to postpone it as much as I could, but I eventually had to relent to the power of my colon.

And wouldn’t you know it - in that 4-5 minute window, they ‘attempted delivery’ and I now got a message saying I can pick it up after the weekend.

Which is when I start a new work regimen of 6/7. So no Oblivion for me in the foreseeable future.

Thanks Belgian post services! Always ready to disappoint. Never change!

    Looks like you may be in market for a potty 😁

    I avoid post when i can, they are almost always a bad experience. Do you have delivery lockers in Belgium?

      Delivery lockers are the way.

      We have a system here by the blueBox people. In form and function it closely resembles an Amazon locker system; but this is for anyone. My wife’s Desky setup was largely delivered over the course of a few days into these lockers for me to grab when I had a moment.

      But they under-planned for capacity, and access to that vestibule is open to the public 8x5. So when the amazon driver sees the lockers are near full, he seems to upend his cart and peace out, and it’s a ‘blue-light special’.
