All being well I'm up for this so long as I don't get asked to work between now and then.

Raz are you going to present for this? Kim Jong-Il is not impressed and apparently wants your nuts deep fried with a side order of fresh dog meat!

Yes well.....after various phonecalls to that number you gave me, led to nothing.....I then phoned UPS and the guy blamed Microsoft, I then phoned Microsoft and they told me it was UPS's fault.

I phoned UPS and was told again that Microsoft were at fault, at this point the poor bloke at the end of the phone wished he was on lunch as the conversation went liek this -

Me - Hold on two seconds let me just move somewhere a bit more quiet

UPS -Yes no problem sir

Me - So are you able to sort out a pickup of my parcel that you DO know of and have known of for a week now or do i just keep waiting....

UPS - I'm sorry sir, but we get instructed by Microsoft when to pickup the parcel.

Me - So you have sent me a label that is practically useless until someone at Microsoft has told you for the second time to pickup up the parcel...

UPS - Yes

Me - What do you mean yes....I expect that if both yourselves and Microsoft have this automated service that works together to get this parcel collected, then it is done automatically.

UPS - There is no need for that tone sir

Me - There is every need for my tone, I have been told that this is a very simple automated process that usually work faultlessly, but obviously it doesn't. I even gave you my work address as I spend more time at work during the day then at home to make it easier....obviously that doesn't matter.

UPS - *quite sheepishly* Would you like me to organise a pickup for you sir.

Me - I would, thank you

UPS - We shall pickup your parcel between 9 & 5 tomoroow sir, I just need you to confirm your details.....


I subsequently thanked him for the eventual resolution (I'm not a complete bd) and walked back into the main office to the applause of my colleagues hehe . ......were quite sad really, we get joy out of accosting those call centre types.
