Adroit Timing

I changed my Amazon account information about three days ago; new physical address and new email. I had an outstanding item on order which I had "forgotten" (read, mind-fuck as I don't usually forget these kind of contingenies). So what happens? Amazon tells me today that they have shipped the item, sending to my new email address, otherwise I would not of known, as the old one got hacked so bad I had to terminate the account. BUT, they shipped it to my old physical address when this was updated at the same time, to that of Penticton, BC. Like WTF; how did they do this, take an up-to-date email address and match it to the old address when both were updated at the same time?

And too, this would of been no big deal as the parcel would of been re-directed by the Post Office like Amazon usually does, as I filled out a re-direction form and paid them to put it into their system. But no, they sent this by UPS, just to make things more awkward. UPS has this little ritual where they must make the first delivery attempt and then supply the little brown and yellow tag with a phone number on it. Only then can one phone and have them hold it for pick up instead of making more delivery attempts. I will be out of town by Jan. 05, so it would seem that Amazon purposely chose this delivery to be as inconvenient at possible; right in the middle of a move to another town, a 10 hour drive away with a carrier that has the most awkward means of changing the delivery method.

And furthermore, Amazon had some kind of rare powers as they claim they billed my credit card, but lo, if my credit card wasn't suspended for some strange reason, some four days ago, and I have to investigate it to find out what the problem is.

So it would seem that someone chose this item's delivery to be a major pain in the ass, and made sure they picked the most problematic options availible. This is one example of how the perp like to jerk with one.

Earlier today, the perps pulled a rain storm for when I was moving boxes out of my apartment with my in-town brother. All of them were rain splattered, so I put them in the First Feral Family house without stacking them so they could get dry. More freaking hassle.

This is likely to be my last posting for a week or so until I get relocated to Penticton and start my viticulture laborer certificate course. This PC will be taken apart and won't be set up until Jan. 06, 2012 or so. There is the FFF house computer, so I will be able to monitor my email. Needless to say, December has been a highly distracted month, with working full time, a house move/re-location organized (almost), and then the email hacking hassle which resulted in terminating my email address that I had for the past 10 years. Maybe it was Yahoo who supplied the password to the hackers so they could get rid of long time email users, 3550 messages in my case. Or maybe it was the perps doing their harassment escalation thing, piling on more hassle, like the Amazon/UPS shenanigans mentioned above.

Onto another city and to ponder what is my harassment fate at Okanagan College in Penticton, BC.
