Adventures with Amazon

View from the office

My printer finally arrived today and I was allowed to have it.

On Thursday Amazon delivered some display cases and sent me an email with a one time pass code that I would need to take delivery of my new printer. In the eveningĀ  I had another email telling me that there was a problem with my delivery. It was, to say the least, short on detail.

So, my free next day delivery was not “next day”.

On Friday the printer arrived whilst I was on the phone to the company that delivers my drugs. I call them that because it sounds more exciting than “the company that delivers my medication” and it’s easier than learning to spell Imunimulab. I have found over the years that if I put any effort into learning spellings they change my medication. It’s like when I finally learned to spell eczema: they changed the diagnosis to psoriasis.

They asked for the OTP. I gave it to them. It didn’t work so they took the printer away again. At that point I checked my emails and found they had sent a new OTP. They hadn’t told me I’d need another one.

Finally, today, I received the printer and managed to give them a correct code. I haven’t tried to set the printer up yet as I feel it is bound to be a disaster after all that has already happened. Maybe tomorrow . . .

Meanwhile, I finished my piece on Nottingham Transport Tokens for the NSN Facebook page and added the finishing touches to the one of the medallions commemorating the opening of the carillon in Loughborough. I will probably add a few extra bits and post it on the blog. It’s much more interesting than you think once you start researching.
