Grrrr

Posted on By admin 3 Comments on Grrrr

Got a call from my movers this morning on my way to work. They were supposed to call me either last friday or today, so I'm not really fussed about that. They tell me that I can have my furniture delivered tomorrow! or sometime in the upcoming weeks. The lady on the phone is of no use whatsoever because she's “not in charge of the booking”. Thank you. Why are you calling me then?

This shoots my plans of having it delivered on friday so I can have a long weekend all the way to hell and back. Also, since my boss is away for the moment, I don't even know if I can take tomorrow off!

*seethes*

Update: it's 3pm and I'm on the phone with these people. I need to find out when the hell my furniture is being delivered, and it's now unclear as to when that's actually going to happen. It seems that nobody has the answer and the one person who might know is now on lunch. I need to book my time off with my boss before the end of the day. The worst case scenario is that I take the day off and they never show up. The lady on the phone just now suggested that I schedule the day off work tomorrow, but go into work anyway, and they can call me on one hour's notice to give me time to get back home if they're coming.

Am I the only one who thinks this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life????

2nd update: It's 5pm and after much hemming and hawing, I've finally managed to get them to pull the finger out and they're supposed to come by my place some time in the morning. I'll believe it when I see it, but ok. The annoying news is that all the senior people here at work are on vacation today, so I can't get anybody to sign off on the leave I want to take. The most senior person here isn't senior enough to approve it, but he says that I can have it done retroactively and it shouldn't be a problem at all – the place isn't really that fussed about paperwork as long as there's a good reason and it's not like I didn't try to get the paperwork done. My boss, his boss and the big boss are all away on personal and business trips. The senior people after that, who usually cover for the big bosses when they're away are also all on vacation at the same time, so there's nobody here bus us peons.

  2. Seconf scenario doenn't look half that bad.

    Give the company your cellphone number. Go to work, but advise Management you may have a call to receeive your furniture any time during the day and you will have to leave.

    Second choice is have is have Kate's Dad be at your place to greet the movers, advise them where to place the goods, note any discrepancies, losses or damages on the delivery bill.

    Third choice is have the Landlady filled them with beer till you return home, but risky, as the movers might, by this time, installed and screwed your bed to the ceiling of your bedroom.

    Have a good day.

  3. Coming into work and then leaving is not an option as I'm working 30 minutes out of town and there's no public transit outside of the work shuttles.

    Katy's dad lives 2h avay and won't come tonight to pick up the keys so he can come and wait tomorrow.
