Happy Birthday Aussie Mike!!
Ya know, I would have made to the party, but I had to wait in line to ship a package to a friend, far far away. The line was only 16 people, no big deal in Los Angeles, right?
I go to the counter, and he hit me with a price that almost made me drop to the floor. I dust myself off, and we negotiate for about a half hour, deciding to reduce the size of the package.
Size matters Mike, even at your age.
So, now in a reduced size package, secured and safer than the original carton, the attendant explains how the freight will ship no with less hassle, blah blah blah.....Mike I have shipped maybe 75,000-100,000 packages during my career, and I have some understanding of psychology as behavior patterns unravel. This attendant was Bipolar with out a doubt. It was amusing how they tossed the contents of the package around, giving it the old OOOUPS test right there in front.
Long story, so I will cut it down in my less wordy way, as it is customary to do so......Your Ch_t's on the way after a 3hour lecture on "Freight to international destinations"......A Three Hour Tour....Flash back to Gilligan's Island and Ginger.....
You are set, but the cost of doing business and the time consumed in the modern era, with all of the computers, and techno speed breaking Quad CPU's, Vista....It took longer and cost more today than it did 5 years ago.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND. As I said, sorry I missed the online party. Now you know. Hey, I think they are still playin catch with that box......
