Critical Thinking by Amalia

So what's the deal with Fedex, UPS, etc. all delivering packages to your home while you're at work? This is what I'd call a "bad system" (and I call a lot of things that, so I hope you find the phrase a clever one.)

Now that I work from home, I no longer suffer through the futile 1st, 2nd, and 3rd "We Tried!" notices, but I can't understand the logic here. Don't most people leave their homes during the day? Isn't that an accepted practice? That whole "office" trend? And yet package delivery services continue to hope that people have maybe stopped doing that???

Isn't it time we implement a standard "Your package has arrived, so come get it now" practice, and stop wasting all the gas and paper slips because Fedex wants to look like it's holding up its end of the "delivery" bargain...

This is really interesting. You are really interesting. But you need some linking action. I can offer. It's not dirty, I swear.

there was an anne tyler book with a character who started some type of business venture called something clever relating to "lend a hand" or "hand-lender". like the random person to do whatever you want (like put up a shelf, feed the dog, and wait for the fedex man).
