Joys smit?!?

~~backblip~~

Decent day at work, but all my breaks were taken up trying to sort out the missing eBay delivery. I'd contacted the seller earlier and been told it had been delivered. They gave me the tracking number and I saw for myself it had been delivered. But the typed-in name didn't seem to match the signature, which looked like jays or joys smit or something similar. Who the hell was that?!?

I asked the seller to start enquiries with the courier, and I did the same. In the meantime mathew spent much of his day off checking with the shops in the arcade we live above in case they had taken it in for me. The fruitshop knew nothing about it, nor the photographer, gift shop, barber or cobbler. There's a street nearby with a similar name and he even phoned the shop with the same door number. No joy.

Then, after work, I saw the print-out of the courier's proof of deliver upside down. Joys smit turned out to be fruit shop upside down! Check it out!

When I got home there was a note through the door from the fruit shop owner saying he had my parcel - the staff didn't know about it so couldn't help when mathew asked.

If only the bloody couriers had thought to put a similar note through my door over a week before!
