Ordering

I've had this thing during this past summer that when ordering things online, several places from which I ordered stuff from with "Express Mail" came within two weeks. That's stupid. If it takes that long, shouldn't I get my money back?

This time I did not order two-day delivery. I did, however, order it last Thursday and still have yet to receive it. I emailed them yesterday asking about it - and the reason I ask and am concerned is that this record company, SST, is located in Long Beach. I live in Los Angeles. We're in the same fucking county. I checked my bank statement and the charges went through yesterday. So it took them just under a week to put my order through. Does that mean that they didn't receive it until yesterday? What if I did do two-day mail? Does it mean that I'd receive it tomorrow?

My boss here is very paranoid. I think that he must've got fucked over big time before, else he's just avoiding things. Well his paranoia costs him a lot of money and a lot of time. First of all, this office in is a condo in a gated community. So although it's not unlikely, it's fairly rare that someone would break into this place. Well, he has and alarm system set up to accompany the deadbolt. Not that the alarm is a bad idea; it's practical. The thing that puzzles me is that he changes the security code every couple of weeks. If anyone breaks in..., it's not like computers. I understand why he changes (although I find it unneccessary to do it as often as he does) passwords for our emails and credit card site and other webpages our company uses, but a security code in this apartment in a gated community does not need to be changed every two-weeks. Oh, and he has a video surveillance system. Really, he does.

Secondly, he has this thing about not wanting to leave the insurance cards in our cars. Reason is that he doesn't want the drivers to take it out or if someone breaks into the car, he doesn't want them to take it. That's stupid. One of our drivers is doing a job down in San Diego and gets pulled over. He doesn't have proof of insurance, so he gets ticketed. As a result of not having the proof of insurance, he has to show that he was insured and someone needs to go down to San Diego to take care of it. Or pay a ticket.

Sometimes he changes passwords so often that he forgets what the current password is. Which is fine by me, I don't have to do work. But he has to pay me to sit around and not do anything.

The list goes on and on. Even being secretive about scheduling, or does this girl who just quit have my number or Jeanne's number. He's so concerned that we're going to keep contact and give her information about our company and leak it out into the state of California. Seriously. She's fucking like 19 years old just starting college. She's got way more important stuff to do than waste her time destroying a small-time limo company.

Ack! I got to go. Better start doing something before Inspector Cluseau comes in.
