		<description>I know the feeling all too well, Atma.  I&#039;ve gotten zinged before by the &quot;you must stay home between 10:00AM and 2:00 PM to receive a $19.00 book shipped while concurrently losing $100 of income or four hours of personal time&quot; game.  On the other hand, though, I&#039;ve seen FedEx leave a $2000 computer (with the big &quot;Gateway&quot; logo on it nonetheless) sitting on the front steps of a home in the middle of a city!

Although USPS may be good for you, they don&#039;t have the greatest service where I live - there&#039;s been more than a few times that we get a &quot;you weren&#039;t home&quot; notice down in the foyer yet my wife was home all day!  Yes, sometimes you actually need to *work* for your money and walk up three flights of stairs since we&#039;re certainly not going to camp out in the foyer of the building for a package.  On the same note, UPS also never carries anything up the stairs but FedEx always does.  I guess it just amounts to the fact that we&#039;re just dealing with people, some more honest than others.  Anyway, enough of my mini-rant ;)

Re-routing:  I have a friend that worked for UPS, and they also play the re-routing game.  Can&#039;t handle those three trucks that just came in?  Re-route them to a hub a few hours away, who will in turn re-route them back to us since we&#039;re supposed to handle them anyway.  Can&#039;t handle them the next night?  Do it again - I&#039;m sure we can process the trucks at some point!

Love the story about the paychecks - I needed a good laugh today :)</description>
