i haven’t ranted about parcel delivery companies for a while. this is because i’ve been holding my tongue (or is it fingers?) rather than because i’ve had no cause to rant. i’m still convinced that there is a business to be made out of circumventing them. on the bright side i’ve noticed a few websites offering to deliver after 5pm for a surcharge lately. this is good.

and is parcel tracking anything but a placebo to make you feel in control of the system? it’s fun to know my goods are on the dublin to holyhead ferry but it would be a damn site more useful to be given some way to interact with the system. i’d like to specify preferred timeslots for delivery and tell the delivery people when to not even bother coming round because i won’t be here. merely telling me which day a delivery will be made on isn’t good enough.

one of the most annoying things about being female is that you can’t go off into a sulky and irritable grump without someone accusing you of having pms which just serves to annoy you further because you want to be irritable and moody with people because they are annoying not just because your hormones are having a hokey kokey party. it either takes all the wind out of your sails or drives you further into moodiness. i’m glad to say they’ve now recognised ims: irritable male syndrome. cue the usual joke about women only being grumpy once a month but men being stuck with it.
