purolator ... and later ... and later

First I have to have a rant. I signed off on the final proofs for our winter brochure on Tuesday morning, the printers won't go to print until they have the approved version in their hot little hands. So I called Purolator (they are our courier through a work contract), they collected the envelope Tuesday AM for a 48 hour delivery ... that would be Thursday, brochure scheduled to go to press Friday afternoon.

At 2.36pm yesterday (Friday) I get a call from the printers ... no package. I call Puro-sometime, after 4 minutes of automated hell I finally get a service reps who informs me the envelop was rerouted three times to the wrong depot. It is now in the right depot, but because it has a 48 hour tag on it ... it won't be delivered until Tuesday!

Sorry ... What ... When?

"Can you contact the depot? I need it there today ... actually yesterday!" silence ... "No, we have no way of contacting or getting the envelop."

Is this depot in a shack in Siberia? How can you not contact them?

So I had to call the printers back, pay a screw you royally fee to have the proofs signed off on electronically so it could go to print on time!

What made this even more stressful was I had a 3pm appointment with the massage guru. Seriously, no work emergency was stopping me from my 1 hour of blissful torture.

I was only a couple minutes late for my appointment. Not only did he rid me of much unwanted stress due to the crap service of Puro-whenever-the-hell-we-feel-like-it, but he also worked on my aching muscles. These include and are not limited too ... hip, butt, back, shoulder, neck, hamstring, calf ... oh and the IT Band. Which I think he took a little too much pleasure in ripping through. The man is a hot beach volleyballing playing massage genius, there should be a national day in his honor!

In shoe news, the new ones (newest) are doing good. I ran just under 8 miles in them on Thursday night, no blisters, no swollen foot, could walk the next day ... all good things.

Two weeks to go ... I will be in the midst of livin' large in vegas!
