please hold, you're number 583 in the queue

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

so xmas is approcahing. thought i'd save myself some hassle and order
hannahs present over the t'internet (yes, you can shop with it!) and
have it delivered to england.

simple? no.

there's nothing to bring you back into english culture with a bump
than, 'press 1 to talk to one of our muppet-indian customer service
agents.' i spent forty minutes on the phone in total, 19.5 to the
courier, 19.5 to the company i bought the present from and 30 seconds
in each call actually talking TO someone about why my parcel was 11
days late.

anyway, i arranged for re-delivery. this was friday. monday, i get a
rather jovial email telling me 'your parcel could not be delivered!'
(the exclamation mark blatantly taking the piss) - they're emails are
obviously delivered by the same people who deliver their parcels.

at this moment, knowing me as you do, i think many of you will be able
to invisage exactly how my face looked when i was told what i had
found out 11 days previously.

not only that, the number they gave me to call them on was missing an 8.

home, sweet home.

Fear not my wonderful boyfriend! It has been delivered, and I am very happy. No more hassling the moody receptionist or running up to my pigeon hole at the top of the bloody building anymore! It was worth it, bring bring! :)
