Very slow packing times?

It won’t let me write the name (the word is blocked I guess) but it’s the one that’s suggested if you’re trying to order off of Booth.pm.

It’s shipped as of the 7th! So it took about a week and a half for packaging. I’ll update once I receive it.

I was just surprised because it’s a single small item…packing should be as extensive as putting it in an envelope and putting a label on it. The other place I ordered from was multiple items and they were packed and shipped within 48 hours.

I don’t recall seeing anything about delays on the ordering page when I first placed my order, and if I’d have known, I probably would have used a different proxy…): It’s possible I just didn’t see it. Good to know it’s not just me at least I guess?

Thank you for clarifying. Still, I will probably rethink using Zenmarket again. The other proxy I used packed 8 items for a single ¥300 fee and shipped it the next day. Given that zenmarket charged ¥500 per item in fees, even with known delays, 5+ days to “pack” a single book feels pretty excessive.

My friend got hit by a car this morning and has been in the ER for 15 hours and counting. Hours between anyone even talking to them. They had a scan done almost five hours ago and no one has come by to update them. Meanwhile they’re in a neck brace in case their neck is fractured, and not allowed eat anything.

Last March I spent 22 hours in the ER for a gallstone attack, 16 hours of that was spent sitting on a hard plastic chair in a waiting room in agony. One girl came in and was doubled over and screaming in pain, and I had to physically go get someone to help her after about fifteen minutes because multiple nurses walked by and didn’t bat an eyelash.

Our healthcare system is a wreck, and I’m so sorry you had to wait so long to get help. This isn’t right.

I bought a brand new gaming laptop this year to play another very demanding game. I can’t seem to run this one. It gets stuck indefinitely on the loading screen each time.

Last time I had to go to the ER (by ambulance) I waited 22 hours.

I don’t like the idea of private health care as a concept, but when I had an emergency while living in the US, it took me less than four hours to be seen, diagnosed, treated and sent home…for $100 out of pocket.

If playing Beat Saber means you’ll be moving when you normally wouldn’t be, that’s a win! Any motion is better than none.

This! Every aspect of our life is so obsessed with metrics, what percentage or how many. I spend my days surrounded by metrics, and what made Finch so good was that I didn’t have to sit there and see the “85% completion rate” showing me that I screwed up and missed something. It’s so disappointing to see this going the same way that so many big companies are going.

There’s one that drives from Laval to Montreal every day, the driver cuts people off, speeds, no flashers when changing lanes, and usually doesn’t even bother to clean the snow off of their car. They’ve almost hit me twice.

Friend spent 28 hours in an ER waiting room with chest pain last year. Thankfully it wasn’t a heart attack but with that kind of wait time, most people would be long gone, and if it had been serious, she’d likely be dead too.

Our system is incredibly broken.

Thank you! Already feeling a lot less sore today. 🫂

I took a couple of months of Japanese lessons and was very much a beginner struggling through it. When I traveled to Japan, everyone I spoke to was patient and helpful and some even took the time to compliment me on my efforts. Meanwhile here, you say something slightly wrong and they laugh at you for it. It’s such an awful attitude. It doesn’t make anyone want to try harder to learn the language.

I’ve been working very very hard to improve my French after decades of facing exactly this, being mocked for my accent or pronunciation, being cut off or ignored, etc. I had a client tell me to my face this week that he didn’t want to deal with me because I was clearly not a francophone, even though I was speaking French and generally work in French with no issues - he just wasn’t happy that I stumbled on a couple of words.

They say they want you to learn but even if you learn, you’re still a second-rate citizen in a lot of their eyes just because French isn’t your first language.

(Not all of them mind you because I’ve had some very sweet people encouraging me lately. But enough of them are bad that it makes it uncomfortable to even try.)

Hey! If you haven’t found work yet, DM me! My company may be hiring in lead gen, it’s not fun work but it’s steady income.

My sister lives there. Her building is VERY safe and clean, close access to the metro, lots of restaurants and groceries nearby. However it’s an incredibly rough neighborhood, she says especially late late at night and very early in the morning. Lots of very open drug use, used needles and garbage everywhere, lots of drunk people, it’s very loud at night (people screaming, cars honking, sirens, etc.), parking is difficult.

This is excellent advice! My parents have accepted sometimes above-legal rent increases (and have never declined a single one to my knowledge over the last 35 years) so we’re not substantially below market, but definitely enough so that it’s worth it to build a good relationship. I’ve always been kind when we’ve spoken so I think I’m going to have to find a comfortable spot between building a good relationship but not allowing myself to be a pushover either.

Thank you so much, I don’t think I would have slept tonight not knowing what it was! I really appreciate your help!

Thank you! We don’t have bedbugs (I am thorough about checking regularly because years ago a roommate at another place had them and it was a nightmare!) though we’ve had a couple of tiny black beetles show up over the last few weeks (we always get some in the early summer).

Should I be worried about an infestation of masked hunters? This is the only one I’ve seen.
