I’d rather ask the post office to give the poor schmucks who have to deliver the packages and mail a decent raise and better working hours …

We see prices go up all the time, but few if any of us doing the actual work get to see any of the rewards for doing our job.

Terrain fest ?
I just didn’t have the inspiration or time to do anything. Maybe next year ?
or maybe I just do a project when I get settled in my new home. I got about 60% of my stuff moved now with the help of professionals. I know I should have planned this better, but I kept thinking I could work on my home and move a few things every week as well. That didn’t go to plan, because the things I wanted to do were more work than I anticipated.

Also when contacting the movers they didn’t exactly ask for more info. I thought that meant that their estimate would be correct. In reality they quoted 4,5 hours and needed 6,5. At least the guys doing the job were willing to be lenient and do what they could within the constraints. They’re returning Friday after Christmas to help move the rest. With a bit of luck I should be ready for the new year.  Yet more proof that when ‘Sales’ gets an order the folk doing the work find themselves dealing with situations that could have been prepared better.

Am I ok ?
Yeah I think I am. We had a Christmas themed night at work that I avoided, because the idea of having to listen to Christmas music all evening didn’t fill me with joy. In hindsight I’m glad I did, because the music was loud as well …

I find all this forced happiness not fun at all.

@grantinvanman mayby you should tell your insurance company the three D-words(*) … I’m sure they’ll find a way to be good to you 😉

 

*) Deny / Defend / Depose …
(or maybe don’t … I heard a lady got arrested for daring to say those words after her claim got denied. The fckers are that scared.)
