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!

    We have that with Purolator, guy didn’t knock just sticker, didn’t even have package out of the truck. I was yelling trying to get his attention as he walked off, he did not even bother looking back. Another time work shipped me a $4000 workstation with signature request. They didn’t bother walking up the 3 steps to the house, just left it on the path at bottom of steps near the main road sidewalk. I only saw it because I kept checking if they had arrived yet…had I been 5-10 minutes later somebody would have seen it and could have walked off with it.
