Nuisance

I'm not a nuisance but our office management are. They took the whole Christmas-to-New Year week off as part of annual leave, I knew they were doing it they always do, but I forgot. So the whole building was closed, no manned reception no public entrance at all other than by key holders. So what happened during that period was I had a delivery turn up, it was some stuff from Spain which I'm out of stock of and have orders for, and they couldn't deliver because there was nobody there to take delivery. Instead a little card was popped through the letterbox.

My goods were taken back to a depot in Essex, that's miles from me!, and we have to call them to re-schedule delivery, furthermore there 'may be be a surcharge'. I asked P if he'd told Jose, our Spanish supplier, to make a note on the delivery note not to deliver during the Christmas period, I also asked whether a phone number had been given, in which case it wouldn't entirely be our fault as the driver should have called us when he couldn't gain access.

To cut it all short I blamed P a bit, I also asked him why he hadn't been at the office that morning because he did go in for a few days during that period, and come to think of it if he wasn't there where was he. He didn't even bother thinking back to whether he'd been there or not, he just blamed the office team for not sending a note round reminding us all that the main reception would be closed. He also blamed Jose for not putting a phone number on the delivery details. He also blamed me for not taking closer charge of my deliveries and said I'd have to call the carrier in Essex and sweet talk them into re-delivering, free of charge if I could manage it.

Well I did call them and have re-scheduled but they said it would have to be Saturday but at least there would be no penalty charge so that was good. I told P and then said 'you know you usually go in Saturday mornings....well, do you think you could please take care of my delivery for me...pretty please?' and I smiled sweetly. He told me I could bloody well come in and take delivery myself, we were apparently going to get a call from the driver this time, 30 mins prior to arrival, so it wouldn't be that much of an inconvenience.

I told him he was a meanie and it was no hardship for him to do it, what about if I stopped ironing his shirts and clearing up after him etc etc. It didn't work, he told me I still had to come in and if I didn't stop trying to weasel out of it he'd make me come in early with him and tidy the store-room up too while I was waiting for the delivery to arrive, and if I moaned about that he'd give me damned good spanking to boot and still make me do it only I'd be doing it with a sore backside.

I thought 'Oh P, what a way to put a lazy girl in her place' and felt my knees go weak. I'm sure I'll be moaning:)

Have a fun weekend.
