11. The adventure of the lost delivery lady

It was always odds on … where we live, it’s like maze, plus satnav or whatever you call it always gets our position wrong. At least it sometimes gets it right and stays right for months, then somebody has to come in and “adjust” it, i.e. wreck it.

Plus today, it was a female delivering. Now you know my opinion of the ladies … adorable, great at gymnastics, dance, many other things … but perhaps navigation is not their strongest suit as a rule. So I was watching the tracker and she was going to some weird towns along the way here … checked the pinging of the phone … someone was guiding her by phone. I added twenty minutes to my estimation, awaited the text to me from HQ.

Downstairs, I knew she’d go down the wrong road and if that happens, one of two things usually happens … the lady gets caught in the circular road horror … or she’ll stop, three point turn and hover near the corner. That’s where I come in. Calling to her in the next road, I suggested, using semaphore, that she actually go the third of a mile up our road and all would be well.

It was … bright gal, this one, leaving aside ladies’ nav skills … hell, are we any good at empathy or humility if it comes to it? She was shocked it had worked out, then there was yet another text … her texts with whomever were also coming through to me. Someone wrote “delivery completed”, then a text to me … “delivered”. All good, I had the foodstuffs. Went to the site, gave her 10/10, all good, hope it helped her.
