Moar Mystery Post!
Mar. 27th, 2009 10:23 amOn tuesday (I think) when i got home from work there were 2 'missed delivery' notices. One was from the postman, which is handy enough, because the main office is just round the corner from work. The other was from some courier company less handily located up by the airport. But, they said they'd be back the next day. So, that was fine, since Gardener Interior Decorator George would be there doing the kitchen.
Went to post office, picked up lovely parcel of Pocket Ponies from adelpha. Yay!
being_here had said she was sending stuff from amazon, so I assumed that's what the other package was.
Got home to find yet another failed delivery note, since knocking the door is apparently not part of their delivery technique... WOES!
So yesterday I set off on the arduous trek to find the Courier place (well. not so much arduous as dull getting through traffic after work...). Finally work out where it is from the v. crappy map they gave on the card - I did *try* checking on google AND work maps, but apparently their postcode doesn't exist, and beacuse it's so close to the airport, there's bugger all detail on the maps.
Anyway. Find the place, but it is behind MUCH fencing and a barrier and a security man. Who wants photographic ID to let me through. But, I do not HAVE photographic ID with me! I shall not pass!
He insists it should say on the card that I need it, I show him the card where it says photograhic OR bills. I have bills! He looks dubious.
I point out I am only coming to pick up a parcel and smile plaintively, so he lets me through. HURRAH, VICTORY is almost mine!
Drive down the road a bit and find the place, where a very nice man gets the package from Amazon and I say "do you need ID?" and he says "nah, just the card".
"but" i ask, perplexed, "what was all that fuss at the barrier about ID? I had no id!". He looks *very* surprised I got through at all - apparently it's because they are very close to the runway and normally Barrier Man makes HIM come out to people with no ID, because THEY SHALL NOT PASS. So, plaintive smiling for the win (it got me through 3 police checkpoints with no license last week too. Really MUST find license).
Anyway, having conquered all the obstacles on my quest, I return the car and open the package to find ... gift wrapped books. Being-here had specifically said her's wasn't gift wrapped. Checking the invoice I discover No Name. 'Hmm' I ponder briefly before laying into the wrapped goodies.
Now, I am the proud owner of a pony club book called Blaze and the DARK RIDER which sounds... OMINOUS! also, awesome :p
And the book of the Twilight Movie. YAY.
Returning home from my Epic Quest, I found the package from BH which they'd managed to get thro the letter box. Which is also great. And I call to check she hadn't also sent books. But SHE HAD NOT! So, the mystery DEEPENS...
Thank you MYSTERY SENDER, whoever you are! Birthdays are great ;)
(i suspect
adelpha still ;p)
