Love/Hate
I hate The UPS. Well, I hate their delivery service I should say. I don't mind popping into their full-service store because the people there are nice and they do everything for me. I suck at getting things like xmas pressies wrapped and boxed and shipped and I like that they do all the work.
But...
I hate it when someone ships something to me via UPS because the bastards won't leave the package outside my door if no one is home to take the package. Even if I sign their slip saying it's perfectly fine with me if they leave it on my doorstep - which is in an enclosed apartment complex. They still won't leave it and it pisses me off royally that I then have to drive out to Bumfuck, GI to pick up my package because I'll never be home when they deliver because I, you know, work all day.
Normally I have things I buy online shipped through the USPS. The US Postal Service has no probs leaving stuff outside my door, why should the UPS? But this time I had made my purchase on Amazon and didn't realize until the order was complete that they ship via UPS.
Sorry it's just irritating to me today because I had to drive to the pickup center TWICE tonight so I could pick up my package containing my beloved season four of 24.
The first time I went out there - at 6pm mind you - they said the driver was still out on delivery and they would call me when he comes in and if it was before 8:30pm I could come back out and pick it up. Otherwise I'd have to try again tomorrow. I'm already bitchy because I forgot I had to pick up the kid at the Gs and they called wondering where I was. (No, I don't normally forget about my daughter :) I had just mistakenly thought she was getting a ride from them. Sue me, I'm on a lot of meds right now :)
Oi enough moaning. Long story short, I got my DVDs and all is well. Now I have to power through them before Sunday so I can be caught up :)
