Just another Aramex puzzled non-recipient of parcel or help reporting a totally unsurprisingly mess-up. I reported to their (HELP) desk that a parcel I was hoping to see this year was not showing any progress on what they call a tracking site. They promised to contact the local branch to have the parcel located, so after allowing time for my pinch of salt to be digested I checked the tracking for another day or two. To nobody's surprise, no result. I then tried their local branch number, and that lady was apparently reading exactly the same script, even mimicking the first accent. Being of little faith, I don't expect any result - just like it happened when I asked the phone person if they were actually in the Albany depot. A strangely muffled response was beyond my decoding powers, so no useful information from that quarter.
I have just realised that the difficulty lies in my questions being at fault. I should have asked for a good curry recipe, or perhaps useful hints re the care of water buffaloes, THAT may have tweaked a reflex answer instead of a scripted reply.
Alternatively, I could have asked her to spell out her name, so I can be sure my report to the Commerce Commission is correct. At least I could get her to hang up, a small thing, but at least a response.
Patience is a virtue, but my chances at "Virtuosity" are dwindling fast.

Entropy is not what
it used to be.
