I might fly to Berlin next week because post office lost my wet ink contract.

There was 2x successful delivery in the priority mail that originally sent, which can only happen, if you have found ways bend the space time continuum in a way not known to the current laws of physics.

See for yourself:

Successfully delivered. Twice. I know Berlin is weird but I did not know that it is quantum weird 🍄 And this was with priority letter that cost almost 30 EUR. Yeah.

I neither have much trust to courier companies, unless you are multi-billion corporate customer (like Intel, Google and similar size company). E.g. corporate DHL is totally different story than consumer DHL.

I went to UPS Access Point yesterday, and the dealer said literally that you should reconsider because your contract might get wet (it was raining). I asked WTF are you talking about. "Boys sometimes might forget them outside for a while so they might get wet."

"UPS - We wet your mail"

This is literally true - according to UPS. How I ended up to this awful sitcom 🤷 I'm a Mike Judge fan (Beavis and Butt-Head, Silicon Valley, Tales from the Tour Bus etc.) but do not want live inside his script for God's sake.

So yeah. Better to just pay for plane tickets, say hi to some friends and hand over the wet ink (*not* wet contract) by myself. I might be weird not crack smoking and glue sniffing weird like these delivery services 🤖

It's less than 200 EUR to get Berlin and back. I like the place, and I do like also Döner so better to start looking for tickets :-) Optimal would late next week but have to check also with people I need to meet etc. :-)

Not even pissed. Post and courier services fucking up consumers is a universal standard. Keeping your letters wet... Just had to write this down because this is beyond mental 🙂

I want to remember this later on so now it is documented :-) Not pissed at all, I'm used to hmm... anything? ;-) Maybe I should try to sell my scripts to Mike. He does not have to know that it is documented reality...

@NetworkManager No that 30EUR thing was a priority letter with tracking code :-)

At UPS Access Point I took immediate U-turn because I like mail dry, not boys wetting it :-) I believe my employer shares my view on this (did not ask tho).

@NetworkManager Berlin is neither too bad so good excuse to go there, meetup, get drunk and head back ;-)

I don't get tho the renting business there for apartments. Not uncommonly you have to bring your own kitchen when you move. Yes. Never lived there, heard from friend living there. Dunno if this is standard in Germany 🤷

Yep, and Adam studio monitor speakers are great if you're not rich enough to buy Amphion's https://amphion.fi/ [which are best there is IMHO, including Genelec's for my taste, both companies actually like neighboring municipalities in North Karelia, Finland. I.e. middle of nowhere. High tech from the woods].
