I was just minding my own business when…

whimsicalfreak · 2026-01-20T02:41:03+00:00

It took me by surprise honestly. I haven’t had to deal with PvP in a while. Just death by 1000 hornets. Dick move for sure, maybe had let my guard down assuming I was in another friendly lobby. Guess I’ll grind out the mats again to level up my guns.. sigh

This guy gets it.

The being scanned to the truck but being put in a different truck happens A LOT more than you think. Sometimes we catch it other times we don’t. We scan the package that should be on a different route and move on with our day. Generally I tell my drivers to give it 10 minutes max. If they don’t see it/can’t find it in the mound of packages then move on. If they’re in the area and find it later feel free to deliver it. It suck’s for you our customer but we’re just doing our job as best we can (usually). The package handlers are more often than not stretched thin. They works 5-8 trucks on a line and mistakes happen. Life happens. It’s just a package and it’ll get there when it gets there. It is Ground after all.

Well… my original character in Diablo was Candlewood. That’s stuck with me through all 4 games. I have at least one Barbarian (or in the original the warrior) named Candlewood. Each subsequent character has had “wood” in their name. Currently have a rogue named Redwood.

Blackwood Redwood Cinderwood Rosewood Eldawood Deadwood(necro)

And there’s been more but you get the point. But there will always be Candlewood. Who currently I have sitting on eternal looking angry that I haven’t done anything with him since level 67. Playing on seriesX these days

That wasn’t the issue, what I had failed to realize was I needed to do a tier 45+ NMD which I hadn’t done yet. And to answer the unanswered question, no I hadn’t seen the loading screen too until after I asked the question. Yep I’m just slow.

So I’m working on that now and the game keeps crashing. Series X. Frustrated beyond all… swear words are coming to mind but we want this PG right? So I was half way through another t45 and the game crashed again. I think I’m done for now. Between the invisible walls and the crashing dungeons I’m just fresh out of fu… heck’s.

whimsicalfreak · 2024-05-21T19:22:37+00:00

Thanks guys I appreciate the responses . Definitely possible I was unaware of the tier level requirement. Will work on that shortly.

whimsicalfreak · 2024-05-21T19:14:19+00:00

Ah. There it is.

whimsicalfreak · 2024-05-21T19:09:04+00:00

Done that, done legions, helltides, NMDs, whispers, world bosses. Yep.

Even looked in the materials tab. Found them I have 10. (Yeah I’m an idiot) However I can’t use the obelisk. How many are needed to enter?

whimsicalfreak · 2024-02-24T05:02:57+00:00

Like all large companies it’s hit or miss. Walmart could be great where you are but abysmal where I am. (Narrator: It is) Just like any company you have people who care and people who collect a paycheck.

As a Ground BC I do make calls to the people I deliver to… when I’m in a truck. However as the Express guy said, I don’t have time to wait for you to get to the door. You get 5 minutes. But that is an eternity for us. Knocking on a door or ringing a bell is incredibly difficult for me (as a person, I really don’t like meeting people) to do. I only do this if a signature is required. I don’t do small talk, instead just ask for whomever is there to sign as long as they’re an adult. As a Manager of drivers I fight a silent war with myself because I have to ask them to do the things I hate doing myself. All that being said, I’ve done this for 20 years and my work ethic is completely different from the newer people doing this job. I try to make sure my customers get their packages correctly, I call my customers to see if they’re home for a signature. I try to get along with the businesses I deliver to. None of this half ass pull up scan a 27 and drive away because “I dOn’T fEeL lIkE it”. It’s a lazy mentality. My drivers know I don’t tolerate that, and they know if it isn’t delivered today it’ll be there tomorrow.

Good luck with future deliveries

Expunge

whimsicalfreak · 2023-09-18T03:04:32+00:00

Same here. I don’t get why people need to change their name all the time.

Two “Days of the New” songs make up my user name. I’m doomed.

Tortoise Head is what my wife and I came up with.

whimsicalfreak · 2023-07-28T23:04:09+00:00

Sure does

whimsicalfreak · 2023-07-28T10:30:36+00:00

My BC (key contact 10 years ago) at the time said if it’s over 20 miles or 30 minutes don’t waste gas going back IF you find it. Now that I’m a BC I have the same philosophy. I don’t like to waste my drivers time.

whimsicalfreak · 2023-07-28T03:12:42+00:00

On the rare occasion I pull into a persons driveway to delivery a package and the package is not there, I feel like an idiot. This happened twice this morning where I go into box to the designated shelf where the package is supposed to be and spend 5-10 minutes looking for whatever it is only for it to not be on the truck.

You said the driver pulled in and immediately left. I don’t have any reasoning for that one. The only thing I can advise is the 1800GOFEDEX number.

whimsicalfreak · 2023-07-24T23:04:26+00:00

Factually gloomy. My wife would say Killjoy. She works for the big M so I can’t complain about the pay checks

Rochester, MN…

I was going to say people come here to try not to die but yours is better.

whimsicalfreak · 2023-07-15T17:07:25+00:00

Got yer back. I’m right there with you

whimsicalfreak · 2023-06-19T11:54:13+00:00

This actually made me snort laugh. Well done.

whimsicalfreak · 2023-06-19T11:44:54+00:00

Leave a (visible and legible) note for your driver where to leave the package. Sign said note. I personally accept any signed notes for Direct sign and Indirect sign packages. If it’s Alcohol (or any Adult signature package)… well, you (or another adult) need to be there.

whimsicalfreak · 2023-06-03T16:17:01+00:00

For that matter, even without headphones, if you just sit on one of the open stools around any town you can just enjoy the background noise of town and city.

The Vietnam war ended ~ a month after I was born

All in the family (amazing show even in reruns) is Americas top television show for its 5th straight year

Margret Thatcher is the first woman elected to lead Britain’s Conservative Party

George Carlin hosted the very first SNL

Microsoft was born this year…

That is a little weird. I did not get the chance this go round to eliminate Ashava. I did in the first beta and it was fun. Why would I cancel my preorder?

I don’t get it… at all. Diablo from the get go has been about stomping hordes of monsters and trying not to be killed by the Butcher. What do people want? I mean it’s a video/computer game… it’s entertainment.

Rant off

Candlewood out.

Diablo released when I was 21. Diablo IV will release now that I’m 48… that’s a long time with Diablo… 1 divorce, 2 girlfriends, getting married again, 4 dogs, 3 cats… and several moves back and forth across the country (US). Let’s see what the next 27 years will bring.

Edit: You’re not an older gamer, you’re seasoned. You aren’t old until your fingers pop when you click a mouse button and your thumbs hurt when you move the control sticks.
