  • And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.

    But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.

    And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.

    Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.

    I thought of this one day and it did seem a tad depressing, but on the other hand…

    I did well in school, but I could never just mentally relax. After being at school all day, there was always something I was supposed to still be doing…homework, studying, etc. my time at home was never fully “me time,” as there was always more work I was supposed to be doing at home.

    Now that I work full time, when I get home, there’s nothing I’m obligated to do. I physically cannot take work home from my job and I’m very happy that it works that way. I can completely and fully relax and forget about work at the end of the day. There’s no homework or studying that I’m supposed to be doing. Plus, I make money now as opposed to when I was in school and so I can buy whatever the fuck I want.

    I realize that not everyone has a job like that. My brother has a WFH job and seems like he works 24/7. But I’m thankful that I have an entirely separate work life…I’m either on the clock physically at work or I’m not. And I have a much more satisfactory work life balance than I did when I was in school.
