Annoyed Thoughts: archive 1

So I haven’t experienced packages delivered to the wrong address. But I have had something like three packages in the last two months get delayed. Some just by a couple days, but one was a Prime 2-day delivery that took 2-3 weeks to arrive. It wasn’t anything I urgently needed but it’s annoying.

I know you’re in Canada & all, but, go on…:popcorn:

Or, by “weed” did you mean cocklebur & milkweed and such?

My bil grows a few plants but doesn’t smoke, so he’ll give me a pound or two. And my son has a friend that grows too much and will give him a huge bag.

I split into smaller amounts, vacuum seal it so the house doesn’t stink, and give it away to my and the kids friends that do smoke it.

The boy just got told to move three litre jars of it off the kitchen island where it’s been for a week. SO said we don’t need everyone walking in the front door and seeing that.

I’ll probably get another pound when I go home in November.

But it’s better than trying to get rid of about 8 lbs of moose liver. I can’t even give that stuff away.

Just contact amazon and get a refund. I talked to a nice bot who gave me a refund. After contacting the courier who “completed and investigation” and claimed the package was delivered when it was clear from the picture of the porch it was delivered to was the wrong porch and getting nowhere there, I contacted amazon. They ask no questions and just give a refund. Not sure if it was a more expensive item if they would ask any questions.

I did contact them about missing package #1 and they sent a replacement. I haven’t contacted them yet about missing package #2, as they ask you to wait 48 hours after the reported delivery time as packages sometimes show up later. Still annoying even if they send another.

ETA: neither missing package was expensive. If a thief got either they were probably disappointed.

Did you check on the delivery service’s website for a nice picture of not your porch where it was supposedly delivered to?

No picture this time, probably because it was allegedly “delivered directly to customer”. Also was a relatively cheap item.

My other delivery from sephora that I assume went to a different house I did eventually get. Now I have two because I contacted sephora immediately and before whatever neighbor had the first walked it over. I don’t really need two, but I’m not bothering to figure out how to return the 2nd

Ignored their suggestion to wait 48 hours there.

Ah yeah mine was left on what looked like a random porch

That movie producers don’t pay attention to actuarial exam dates so as not to release things I want to see the week before when I can’t actually watch it. Jerks.

Missing package #2 showed up today. :clap:

No idea if it was delivered to a neighbor first or just finally showed up.

Think I finally submitted all the tests/samples needed to get my medicine… or at least a half-dose of it.

The doctor said I can track statuses for all the tests on their online portal. The portal does have a few procedures listed, but claims I have no medical conditions and am on no medications (which is only off by 1 and 3 respectively), and has no info about the tests.

whee.

Similar annoyed thought. My doctor recommended a test Sep 1. It wasn’t scheduled. I asked about it, via the portal, bc it’s better than getting a random phone call. It wasn’t answered, maybe bc I asked another question that was answered. So I asked again, separately. It took a week for them to read it, and then another week to respond. Now I’m waiting on a phone call to schedule the test. We met our deductible this year, and may not meet it next year, so I really want to do this before Dec. 31.

I was mowing the front lawn when I just about twisted my ankle on a stupid divot!!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

The gophers were probably burying their raSINS for winter & forgot to fill that one in.

I’ve been out all day. Just confirmed it’s not the provider, but where the provider connects to the Canadian equivalent of comcast (Rogers). I may never have internet again.

Worse, my email is cloud based and in supposed to review a 25 page legal agreement today that I can’t access. Not the sort of thing i can do on my phone.

Guilt free studying today I guess. Getting caught up on assignments since I can’t work.

Can you use your phone as a hotspot? I’ve done that when there were things I absolutely needed to get done.

I don’t have anything like that due today, so I’m just reading/responding more than normal on GoA.

Not easily. I’ve got everything hardwired in the house, PC’s, phones, tv’s, etc. Wireless is for normies. Except this one time I guess.
