Don't care for Valentine's Day. Also not helpful the wife's birthday is the 15th. Prefer to put all my energies into that.

Enjoyed some nice coughtails at Grain Bar last night. At the bottom of the Four Seasons. Food looks good too. Think we'll return tomorrow night.
 
Happy Valentines Day is about as far as I go to celebrate Valentines Day.

Think the wife takes Valentines Day a little more seriously but we are not together this year.
 
Who woulda thunk that the postal managers have rigged their bonus collecting performance indicators? We barely use them now in our business as the place should be run by freight experts and not former bankers. It is time to broom them out and put freight experts back in charge. So many who knew how things worked properly have departed from Star Track and our postal service so we think it is useless.
 
GarrettM there is so much fun to be in Sydney and not working. Tomorrow needs some WOW factor seeing it is MrsGM's birthday!

Australia Post tracking system is a joke. In this day and high tech world they should be able to track an item in real time. Plus there seems to be NO ONE working in Aust Post over the weekends as parcels don't move in the tracking system. 5 million dollars to a CEO who cant get a parcel from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast in under a week !!
 
Well Aus Post just took two weeks to "deliver" an item. Pity they delivered it to me (the sender) rather than the recipient in QLD.... 10 days ago tracking showed "Attempted delivery - incorrect address" but in my suburb so seems someone doesnt get the difference between "from" and "to". :rolleyes:
 
I thought others would be having issues with Australia Post. They should be number one in parcel freight but are running last in 2017.
Would love to have Greg Poche as an advisor as he would be worth that sort of money.
He has retired.
 
We use Aust Post 'eParcel' service daily - their web site is fantastic and so user friendly to use - vast majority of what we send express o/nite - cannot fault them. Very cost competitive and not difficult to slip through the occasional 'under measurement' on an item or 2.
 
Life's full of challenges. What's not important to one person could be serious for another.

Oh and I'm definitely convinced that some are tagged for life.

I use the Click and Send system which works well. It seems to be scanning issues that mean parcels go awol. The last one spent over 30 days bouncing between sorting centres and they wouldnt do anything to locate the parcel, nor would they compensate as it "wasnt lost".

She has a grandmother that will spoil her rotten.

I also believe in Time Travel and people from the future are constantly interefering in our daily lives. But not sure of the effects of the interfering unless a new timeline is created each time. Very confusing but could become clear one day.

Doing the best I can. Breakfast at La Rennaisance, lady's choice for daytime activities, and then El Circo cabaret show and dinner at Slide on Oxford Street.

Might need to pick up some flowers or chocolates too.
