FedEx F**k Up
So I finally order a new piano thing and arrange for it to be delivered on the last day of my week off, except FedEx f**k up completely and leave the piano at the depot, only delivering the stool! The fools didn't check that my order had two parcels in it and the driver picked up the small one, so after wasting all day waiting in for the delivery, I discover at 5pm that it's not coming, when I phoned up to chase it. The bloke at the other end was very apologetic, although said it was all the driver's fault, and offered to deliver it next week. Not good enough say I, as I'll be back at work, and laid it on thick that I had taken a day off specially (not strictly true but they don't need to know that), and so managed to get them to agree to deliver it tomorrow morning before midday so hopefully I should get it. The old one is up for sale on eBay and has already got loads of people watching it and an opening bid of £100, so can't complain! The video here shows (at 3:55) what the first thing is I'm going to play on it (again from the "Play Piano with Muse" book), but will be taking requests from anyone who comes down to listen to it! Perhaps...
Not done a lot else with my week off since getting back from Wales and Bristol last weekend, went to see a friend in Oxford on Wednesday, got new washing machine on Monday (but still need my dad to come around and plumb it in), but nice to have a break I guess and just faff around a bit. Booked my holidays for the rest of the year which of course are going on a 0% credit card, both interesting for different reasons although my mum is none too happy about the second one in particular! More about those some other time, got to try and drag things out a bit as not much else is going on!
