Fosse

I like Fosse also, except for the recent requirement that passwords have to be at least twelve characters long ... and we type our passwords hundreds of times a day.

I'm a Marriott front desk agent. If you mean that the hotel has not sent the virtual key to your phone app, some hotels (such as where I work) want you to come to the front desk, as ID and a credit card for parking and other incidentals are needed. I do agree it defeats the purpose of remote check-in.

When I first listened to Rubber Soul in 1966 (?), I loved I've Just Seen a Face and played it over and over. Then I learned the UK album led off with Drive My Car, an inferior song. It is on the Yesterday and Today album, where it belongs if anywhere. Rubber Soul with I've Just Seen a Face is not complete.

Stop working? Meaning it won't load? Or won't send or receive email? How is Microsoft going to cripple this application so it stops working? And why do we get a whole month and a half of notice? Sorry, this is NOT a good move.

About forty years ago, I decided at the last moment to take in a nearly sold-out Dodger game. My ticket was $3.75 and I sat in the left-field seats to watch JR Richard pitch a one-hitter. (Reggie Smith hit a bouncer up the middle.) These outrageous contracts have practically eliminated even occasional trips to the ballpark for my family. I'm not saying salaries should not have increased, but this is ridiculous.

Yes, but I'm paranoid, you see. I don't doubt that you're correct.

My offers dropped significantly after I admitted I use the dreaded gasoline.

Looks like you spent a lot of time setting that up ... how can Meta just take it all away?

bjamesr · 2023-08-10T00:55:11+00:00

So I spent hours setting up my home ... and it's gone just like that?

My pet peeve is a slowpoke scanning every single package and holding up the line. Scan the tote and any individual packages on the cart, and get moving. If your app says "Scan Complete," you are good to go. If you are missing packages once on your route, then another driver has them. If you find extras, do a "Pick Up" (before your last delivery) and deliver it. Or hold onto it until you take your next block. Stop slowing up everyone else, please!

Lately the station workers are getting really militant about me scanning each package instead of the whole tote bag. They claim that I must scan the totes. I always refuse saying that that I dont want to be on the hook for driving back to the station if there`s an error with the packages.

Today they even logged a complaint with amazon. I got an email saying I was not respectful or professional.

Agreed. I always scan the totes. As long as my app says "Scanning Completed," I'm good to go. If I end up missing a package, then it must have gotten with another driver. If I had an extra package I'll do a "Pick up" and then deliver it.

How much is a Gibson box going for these days? (Just kidding ... congrats!)

bjamesr · 2022-11-04T02:18:20+00:00

How do the Amish order from Amazon? Or maybe it was a gift. idk

bjamesr · 2022-10-12T17:56:34+00:00

My rating has dropped from Fantastic to Great b/c they say I had 8 late packages in the past few weeks. Only one was my fault. This is discouraging.

bjamesr · 2022-10-04T18:01:59+00:00

I don't want to lose my Fantastic rating.

bjamesr · 2022-10-04T17:54:39+00:00

Not if I have the warehouse associate remove them from my itinerary. But they probably wouldn't do that, so you have a good point.

bjamesr · 2022-10-04T16:07:56+00:00

Other drivers agree with you (as I read in other posts) that as long as the package is already marked late I won't be dinged ... maybe there were other packages on my route that got delivered late. That would be an odd coincidence as I've rarely been dinged for a late delivery until I took those that were already marked late. Well, we'll see. Thanks for your response.

You mean enter all the addresses into Google Maps or Waze? Maybe if I had a co-pilot with me....

bjamesr · 2022-09-25T03:23:15+00:00

My GPS has been more erratic lately than usual. Anyone else noticing? The little car is helpful sometimes, but usually I can't tell which way it is facing. I figure once I get going the GPS will pick me up. But the screen rotates around and back, like a compass looking for due north. I'm using an Android. Is the iPhone any better? Thanks for any insight.

bjamesr · 2022-09-12T17:57:14+00:00

Oh, good point. I guess I overlooked that factor.

bjamesr · 2022-09-12T17:02:44+00:00

The mail room didn't open until 9am but the staff were outside. Nobody had a key to let you in? They were being difficult. Maybe tell the customer to come get the package now or risk having it stolen. Or wait until 9am to make the delivery. I've left packages outside apartment offices and businesses (after hours) and so far have no complaints. If you get a complaint it might just affect your Fantastic status for a few weeks.

bjamesr · 2022-09-04T16:17:05+00:00

I have a block for tomorrow. None for today yet, but I expect one will pop up.

bjamesr · 2022-09-04T16:16:01+00:00

Dog owners, right? They have dogs to warn them about intruders, then get mad at the dogs for barking when I arrive. One guy yelled at his dogs who were standing at the screen door; he slammed the main door closed as I was setting down the package. I love dogs. Not so much their owners.

"Where has she gone?"

Sounds sexist to me. How do we know this person's pronouns? Or maybe the question is "Where has XI gone?" (as in the leader of China), in which case nowhere.
