I ordered some stuff from Kohl’s yesterday. About forty-five minutes after I ordered, I looked at my email and realized it was being shipped to an old address. So I tried to call, and they told me it was too late to change the order because it was already in fulfillment. Their suggestion was to contact whatever carrier it’s being shipped through and ask them to change the delivery address.
Got my shipping email this morning (which, if I didn’t get an email that a label was created until this morning, how was in not possible for them to change the shipping address sixteen hours ago?), and it’s being shipped in three different packages through two different carriers, one through FedEx and two through UPS. I don’t think the FedEx one is going to be hard to change, worst case scenario, I have them hold out at a facility or retail store, no big deal.
But the ups ones say that I can only change delivery options after a delivery attempt has been made. I imagine ups is just going to drop the packages off at the door and say they were delivered. I’m still going to try to call them to change it before they deliver them, but this has become one big pain in my ass. And it’s made all the much worse because it’s my fault that I didn’t notice that it was set to go to the wrong address when I placed the order in the first place. So I can be irritated that Kohl’s wouldn’t modify my order, but at the end of the day, I can really only blame myself for ordering wrong.

Kohls has an inappropriately good customer service policy. If UPS delivers your packages to the wrong address, you could probably go back to Kohls customer service for help and have them re-send it.

I worked there one summer, and I thought that was kind of their thing, but the lady I talked to yesterday did not inspire confidence. I just need to take it one step at a time, though, and hope for the best.
The good news is, the things I’m most worried about (the three identical pairs of the exact same pants that I already own another pair of), are in the FedEx package.
GRRRRRRRRRR.....I suck. I didn't proceed to walk out to my car and go home like nothing happened after hearing a pop and smelling a burning smell at work tonight, literally 10 seconds before I was going to clock out, as the last person out. There was a small electrical fire that could have become very, very bad. It was easy to locate because of the sparks flying, and I was able to unplug both cords without dying. The receptacles were pretty toasted and the cord to a cooler was melted. Of course I was the only one in the building and had had a frustrating night already, and then I had to empty the whole cooler and figure out what to do with the other cooler that was plugged in there. Exactly what I needed in the middle of a 30 work hour weekend. Now I get to remedy the situation, which will be another blast.
When i first smelled it I considered just ignoring it in hopes of it doing enough damage to give me a couple weeks off. No joke, and it might have, because I found that two 30-amp circuit breakers tried to trip but only made it half way and didn't click off. I'm beginning to hate a lot of things about my job, and could easily have just walked out and claimed ignorance. Maybe I should have, lol. We had another location close for good several years ago after a fire that started the exact same way.

Sounds a little different than Amazon. A couple weeks ago, they sent me a delivery notice with a picture of a front porch that wasn't mine. I informed them about it and had to spend an hour in chat to get them to do anything about it. At one point someone said "just a moment" or whatever and never came back. Then I had to explain the whole thing to someone else because she couldn't see the transcript that I saw in the same damn window. The kicker is that they didn't want to do anything about it because it was already a re-ship, after they picked and sent the wrong item a few days earlier. They wanted me to wait a week and see if the package magically delivered itself! I had to bitch and moan some more, threaten to cancel my Prime account, and beg them to compare the delivery pic to the numerous previous delivery pics for my same address. Then they finally offered a credit, and I had to insist on a refund so I could buy from someone else. They refused to simply reship because they had already screwed up once.
Amazon is great until it isn't, and then good luck.

Honestly, I am glad that you are ok. Also, it shows your character that you risked yourself to stop the building from catching fire from an electrical fire and then cleaning up the mess.
Fuck. I just hit a nice Exacta at Gulfstream Park only to realize that my balance didn't go up. I pulled up the bet and clicked the wrong fucking horse. I wasn't 3 figures or anything, but it was a bunch of house money to play with. Bitches.

Update: I tried changing the deliveries online, and they kept telling me I couldn’t (all three of them). I thought about calling but I somehow could never make myself do it because I knew I was just going to sit on hold for an hour to be told no. Yesterday, the FedEx package said it was delivered and today one of the ups ones said it was so I sucked it up and texted my old landlord who said no one was living there and I was free to go check for them. The FedEx package was there but the ups one was not. Planning on running back over after the other ups one shows as delivered.
Spending 45 mins on the phone with Department of Revenue over the issue for ~$1000 collection I just received for 2015 taxes in NC...WHEN I WAS LIVING AND WORKING IN DC (WHERE I PAID TAXES) THAT ENTIRE YEAR = not the most fun.
Now have to find and send in all these things from 2015 forms/filing as proof that I was in DC and paid taxes there that year, but even so, they might make me pay hundreds of dollars in late fees, despite the fact that the first statement of issue was sent to my old address, so I didn't receive it
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

My stepdad would have turned 60 today. Thanks for the reminder, Facebook.
We’re supposed to go to Montana for Christmas. Pretty sure my mom doesn’t want to spend Christmas at her house this year. I really want to go too. I just can’t imagine how I’m going to feel good about getting on a plane. Still, I’ve told her that if things don’t get worse between now and then, I’ll go. I’m just going to be really surprised if things don’t get worse between now and then.
It's been a tough few weeks for me. We buried my grandpa on Sep. 1. He had a great life, was old AF, and died at home, so it's alright. It just sucks that his house ("Grandma's house") was always the family gathering spot for holidays and where people from out of town would meet, so I have no idea when/where/if I'll see my cousins and their families in the future. I want to buy the house, both for sentimental value and because I really like it and it would be a nice upgrade for me. It will be a stretch but everyone with a stake in it seems to want to make it work.
But then I lost my job last week. 20 years with the company and they decided to cut costs and give someone else a try. COVID hit us hard and our labor market was tough, resulting in overtime which was exacerbated by a particularly abrasive manager under me that they wouldn't let me replace, and they'd heard (through back-stabbing - someone asked me directly without me volunteering it) that I was already looking for a job. My numbers weren't bad relative to the rest of the chain, and we actually managed to beat last year's revenue for my final week, which is damn near a miracle, but they found somebody cheaper who is on board with doing the same old shit and not questioning anything, which seems silly. I'd hit a ceiling there and the company had systemic issues and was contracting rather than expanding, but still.
I inquired about an interesting new local restaurant and accepted an interview. It turned out that the new place has a management team already, and the somewhat-diversified franchisee offered me an Arby's. I thought about it, since the money wasn't terrible, but passed. The four weeks of severance I got is better than nothing, especially while Congress is doing nothing in terms of unemployment, but I'm feeling pressure to take a job I don't really want and won't like. There are a couple interesting new places being built in the area, and I'll be contacting both tomorrow, but this sucks. I need a new career but I don't know who will pay me as much as a restaurant that needs an upper level manager.
And we lost RBG too soon, my fantasy football team stinks, summer is over, and reroofing my carport has turned out to be more of a project than I'd hoped. My only saving grace right now is the new Flaming Lips album (which includes my future wife, Kacey Musgraves) and the hope that everything will work out for the best really soon, somehow. And a Norm MacDonald quote: "Note to self: no matter how bad life gets, there's always beer." Sorry for dumping all this shit at once, but I just needed to rant and get it out.
My brother Joe was in a bad accident. He's in the ICU. Every bone in his face is broken, c-spine and shoulder is broken. Both arms, ribs broken, shattered pelvis, both legs broken. The left one has to be completely reconstructed. Supposedly he was testing driving a motorcycle, they think he was hit and run. He left the house at 10p and was admitted to the hospital at 3a. They think he was on the side of the road for hours. We don't know about the bike, how he got to the hospital or if there were cops involved.
This is the recovering addict brother that has only been clean since his last accident in November. He's never gotten his shit together, my niece is already taking care of her mom, and now this with my brother. Idk what's going to happen. We have at least a week in ICU and then multiple surgeries and at least a month in the hospital.

Dear God I am so sorry.
This was the phone call I gotten right before you texted me yesterday. It really was a ray of light at a dark moment. 💜
I'm still in shock and trying to do things to keep busy. I appreciate everyone's thoughts. Apparently this mother fucker's will to survive is crazy high, the prognosis looks good. He's going into surgery shortly for his left leg and stomach (he had a sponge put in due to a clot I guess).

I'm so sorry, that is awful all around. I hope he is okay and I hope your niece is able to reach out for help with both of them. How old is she? Is there anything we can do to help her?

OMG, you're the sweetest. Much love, boo.
She's 25 and married and they're killing it as adults. She has a huge support system here, which is how she's so incredible. Luckily, Joe, Sherri (my oldest sister) me and Savannah all live in or surrounding New Orleans. Same with Sherri and Joe's real mom.

Idk if Joe's prognosis is looking good. So there was a brain hemorrhage, he was really BAD, if it was larger they would have just let him pass when he was admitted. It's better now but they don't know and can't give a positive or negative prognosis.
And this dude that grew up with us and is in friend circle committed suicide yesterday.
My friend's husband (who she met online and moved to Australia to be with 8 years ago) got diagnosed with something a few weeks ago. He was in and out of the hospital and passed away on his birthday (yesterday).
