That is hardly a great name for a post, but here I am. My grocery delivery did not go smoothly. I am supposed to have contact-free delivery. This means that the bags get left outside and the delivery person leaves after either ringing the doorbell or sending a text. I normally watch from either a kitchen window or a peephole.
My instructions to them are to notify me regarding any substitutions which need to be made to my order if the store is out of an item and to leave my purchases beside my ramp outside the front door.
What would appear to be fairly straight forward, however, has been anything but simple the last three times packages or groceries have been delivered.
Saturday's drop off included a text to me saying an Amazon driver needed help with delivery, so masked and after hearing noise on the metal ramp outside, I cracked the front door open to discover that my storm door which is normally locked, was wide open and the guy was in my face, without a mask, and placing the bags at the top of and on the ramp.
Normally locked, the storm door is clear glass and would enable me to show the person where to place deliveries, but having someone that close who was also blocking my ability to roll outside and who opened a door without permission infuriated me.
I texted Amazon because it is now impossible to reach anyone by phone, and it took three individuals before I got someone who seemed to know what he was doing. He focused on the mask issue, so perhaps something will be done, My delivery instructions are now in ALL CAPS, which likely means nothing, if recent behavior is any indication.
This might easily be seen as a first world problem were it not for the health threat involved.
How was your week?
I'm sitting here on a Saturday attempting to psych myself up to deal with the grocery order I have just placed for delivery later this afternoon. I'm hoping not to have to contact Amazon regarding a blocked front door and delivery people not following instructions. They have made their customer service online very hard to use.
Things here are otherwise quiet. My meditations this week have gone well except for one which was a Zoom group suddenly "bombed" by a party who had somehow obtained the password and inserted live sexually explicit video on our screens. This was turned off and the group finished quickly.
You really do have to wonder about people who feel the need to hijack Zoom meetings with this type of content. In the spirit of the meeting, I elected to send our meditation to this entity. Supposedly, if sent, this meditation can be felt by the receiver.
May you be peaceful and happy
May you be safe from harm
May you be as strong and healthy as you can be and
May you live with the ease of well-being.
I am still catching up on sleep.
Cheers...
