Lost in Fed Ex Land

Let me say that I truly like 99% of the people that I work with and since some of the people I work with are family I can honestly say I love some of them. That being said heres my latest rant. Federal Express (FE) is a multi billion $ company that does a pretty damn good job at delivering packages overnight. They dont have a reputation for not delivering packages on time, am I right? If you have read the previous posts then you know my firm is coming up on a deadline. Certain shit has to be at certain places really fucking fast or money will be lost. That being said, our office is located in a very large OFFICE COMPLEX many business's on many floors. We have a FE drop box in the building that is picked up at 5:10 every day, there is even a window that tells you if it has been picked up already that day. We have used this drop box for the past 5 years and have never had a package not delivered on time. So 3pm rolls around and I am asked to FE an important package for next day delivery. No fucking problem as FE doesnt pick up until 5:10 pm 2 hrs 10 minutes later, but wait......THIS PACKAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Their all fucking important if we spend $40 to ship them overnight. I am ordered to take the package to a FE Kinkos to insure that the package gets there on time. Does anyone see where Im going with this? Theres a fucking drop box 50 feet away but that shit doesnt work. FE is a fucked up company that always gets your package there late unless you take it to a fucking 18 yr old zit invested drugged out Kinkos employee who doesnt even work for FE and really gives a shit about this IMPORTANT FUCKING PACKAGE. My point is that FE drop boxes work. If they didnt then FE would be out of business. This shit happens on a Friday and shitty Kinkos isnt on my fuckin way home. Thats a wonderful end to a perfectly fucked up week. Thanks for listening again to all of my negativity and if you dont like this blog then go fuck your self.

Peace
