Ordered something with delivery to work. Got posted to my home (billing) address but with work’s company name on it 🤦‍♂️

askelon:

 

What really annoys the crap out of me lately is I have one business I do work for where every email I send one of their staff members they send me back a friggin thumbs up..  Like can you not please?!? 

 

Its fantastic when you get 10 of them all replying with a thumbs up while your in the middle of another job, of course not all at once either.... Nothing quite like an email chain of 100+ emails with half being thumbs up... 

 

Unless something isnt working correctly I really dont want or need a reply.  

 

Sounds like email is not the best tool for the task in that case. If you want reactions etc then discord or one of the "grown up" versions of it might be better.

I'm assuming that the vendor messed that up.

One time I ordered a personal item with delivery to work, and the vendor dispatched it with it labelled correctly (my name, work's address). I got a call from the courier saying I had a personally-addressed item being delivered to a business address, was that correct? I said yes.

The next day I got a call from the mail room asking whether I'd ordered anything. The courier had relabelled the package, with the new label showing the business' name and address. My own name was only visible because they hadn't put the new label on straight.

Yeah I have found that I have to put c/o business name or they get confused sometimes.

My internet on One NZ is choppy, up, down, freezes. Wellington, but Down Detector shows it’s all tickety boo.

Isn’t it always the case when you really, really need it. 

A couple of weeks ago the local council put out a poorly-worded statement about a "three strikes" policy for non-recyclable stuff in the recycling. It hasn't taken effect yet, but...

It's collection day today. I went home at lunchtime and found my bin overflowing with someone else's rubbish, and a pair of broken headphones in the glass crate.

I'm Coeliac, so I "should" know better

Gluten free cornflakes, twice the price for 1/2 to 2/3 the volume, ok, it is what it is.

Now, corn has no gluten, so today I read label while on a shop. May have Gluten. What that means is the product has NO gluten, but it may have been processed where wheat was processed so its not gluten free. Yet you pay twice the price for 1/2 to 2/3 the volume. Nice one. There was one large packet, $4 odd, so grabbed that and one normal (small) packet of GF, $8

GF bread, now you cannot get away from that, twice the price for probably close to 1/2 the volume, hence close to 4X the price. I get that, small non standard production line. But its not great. I cant use it as a sandwich, the texture is off and it doesnt hold together. So I lightly toast it. Just a first world problem 

"OK, tonight I'm going to watch that old movie that's sitting on my computer. I'll just put it on a hard drive and connect it in the home theatre.'

And now, an hour later, I'm trying to figure out what else to do tonight, since Mac OS is apparently incapable of a simple file copy.

cp file1 file2

The tip top one is the closest to regular bread. But as you said, is much better lightly toasted. 

I have just become a lot more familiar with cooking potatoes rather than deal too much with substitutes.

That might have worked, or might have had the same issue. The file was around 70 GB and the first 40 or so copied fine, then it slowed to ~10 MB/s. It did eventually finish, after maybe an hour.

The destination drive itself has never showed any sort of issues in the past, although it's possible that it's beginning to fail. The other possibility - which I'm thinking might be more likely - is just that Apple's ExFAT driver can't handle big files very well (normally the sorts of files I copy aren't this big). I might try re-copying the file from my Windows machine and see what happens.

Where did you see that. My daughter mentioned something similar, but she lives in Kawerau, so I assumed...

That would really piss me off. Were they stupid enough to leave anything with their name and address on it?
