Deliveries
So being at work again throws me into that age old problem with deliveries. On the one hand having a post room means you don’t need to worry about being in to sign for stuff, it just turns up at your desk. On the other hand getting larger stuff delivered is a pain, especially if you can’t get it home.
While I was out yesterday TNT tried to deliver my new computer. Since I wasn’t in I missed the delivery. They automaticallly try again the next day unless you phone and on the second failed delivery send it back. Not good as I got back at 9:45pm. Thankfully the office was still open so I got to find out what my options were. Limited it would seem. They won’t upgrade to Saturday delivery or change delivery address without written authorization from the sender. Great. I got redelivery put on hold and had to wait for today to call Apple and ask what my options were. Saturday deliveries are on an ‘exception basis only’, require supervisor authorization and are generally such a pain in the rectum I went for plan B. My delivery is going to a friends office. They drive to work so can load the stuff in their car and drop it round mine. They should get the machine tomorrow. I should get it sometime, possibly this week 
Yay! Must be exciting to get your new bits. Does your friend have a big enough car to take the monster display?
My neighbour also works at this place and he has a ruddy great big Warrior.
You need a cat, then they could accept delivery for you! clever cat!
Erm… yes… except I’m not allowed pets, it wouldn’t be able to operate the entry phone or the doors and I doubt even Troy could carry the monitor up the stairs. But yes, otherwise a sound plan with very few flaws….
I usualy just get them to leave the suff outside the back door. That’s how my last 2 computers arrived anyway
