Closely related to the previous entry but this one deserves a thread of its own.

Merchandise: electronics, 2lbs.
Route: NY, USA -> Trondheim, Norway
Fee: $49
Courier: DHL Global Express

Notice the immodest fee, $49 for shipping, that's not peanuts. I get an email from DHL saying the package has been sent and I got an url for tracking. It gets into Oslo within 2 days, that's not bad.

But that's a Friday 7am, even though there's no shipping on Saturdays, nothing more gets done. By Tuesday it finally gets to Trondheim and they try to deliver while I'm not home. Gee, they do have my email address and they're supposed to send me delivery notification, so how about an email on Monday saying "expect delivery on Tuesday at __ o'clock". No, that would be too convenient. On Tuesday at 11am they come by, noone's answering the door so they leave a note saying they came by.

I come home, see the note, call them up. "Will you be home tomorrow between 10 and 4pm?" "Can't you tell me a more specific time?" "No, the delivery guy has lots of packages *blahblah* *some excuse*." So I stay home all day waiting, thinking it'll be 11am probably, as last time. The whole day goes by, no sign of him. I also gave them my phone number over the phone, they were supposed to call me. Meanwhile the online tracking page shows "delivery attempted" at 3.54pm, which is bs because noone came. No note today either.

I call them up again, the customer service guy doesn't understand how this happened. He says he has no choice but to reschedule for tomorrow. *sigh* I don't feel like sitting home another day for this. "How about I come by and pick it up." "That would probably be the easiest." Yeah for you guys. It takes me half an hour to find the place, out on the peer. I give him the tracking number, 20 minutes on I have my package.

So for $49 I have the privilige of driving to the terminal and getting the package myself, door to door delivery my ass. They never called or emailed about delivery, since I'm not a psychic I didn't know when to expect him the first time and after that he just didn't show up. Global delivery specialist..

You suck. Kafka, Camus, Sartre, I tried all of them. For the most part it's exactly the same. No passion, no conviction, just a bloody boring story about something completely insignificant. Completely useless stories about life that don't say anything. Not to me anyway and believe me I was focused, I tried to read between the lines, there's just nothing there. The last one I couldn't finish, couldn't stomache it. Dull wrapped in a thick coating of boring.

If you want my views on life and existance, I'll tell you without putting you to sleep.

Ok, whoever came up with this idea deserves to be hurt. I don't mean java in general and I don't mean the idea of an ultra-portable gui, but the way it is implemented, it simply has to be the most painful way to code a gui known to man (or coders, whatever). Period.

Some days are like that, right? You set out to do a couple of things and by the end you haven't done anything. It starts off by saying I'm not gonna start doing that right away, I'll just do this for a while first. Then you end up doing this for way longer than you intended. And once you realize it, you're completely demoralized and don't feel like doing anything, in fact going back to bed sounds just about right.

Today is like that, I don't even remember what I planned to do today but it's been totally unproductive. What also messes is up is the weather, a sunny day and I got the rays from the sun right in my window, heating up the room and leaving a glare on the monitor. So I'm not comfortable and I'm too hot. Can't draw the curtains either cause I gotta keep the window open to air out the room (the window opens inwards, which is totally inconvenient cause I can't have it open and have the curtains drawn simultaneously).

Oh that's right, my bike is broke again, last week I was speeding and I hit a curb going quite fast. I tried to get on the pavement where the curb is really low but I didn't make it cause I was going too fast. So now I got a flat rear tyre, today is Sunday and yesterday I was fixing the computer and forgot to buy a new hose.

I just noticed this post perfectly matches the title.. :lazy:

but it applies equally to people. When I'm speeding on my bike, you get the hell out of the way! One guy almost fell face down in the gutter cause he was clicking on his phone and didn't see me until the last minute.  :redface:

Also, if you're a tourist, I understand that Trondheim has so many beautiful sights on a rainy day but do watch where you're walking or you're gonna have to pull out your health insurance id.
