Change
There's a lot of change that I thought I'd never be able to handle but dealt with just fine. I'm a military brat so I know all about moving and those kinds of changes. I was fine whenever I heard that J'Lo had changed her mind about who she wanted to marry. I even made it when I changed from Verizon to Cingular.
Lots of changes.
There's one change that our company is making however, that I'm afraid I'm not dealing with too well.
We're changing from FedEx to DHL. What the fuck?!
I can't handle this. It's too much for me.
I'll tell you why I can't handle this change. It has nothing to do with them actually delivering things whatsoever. I don't really pay attention to any of that honestly, which I know, I probably should, but it all seems to work out fine. Packages make it on time and everyone seems to be really happy. I love it. No complaints.
It's their service. I LOVE our FedEx guy. No, not "love" in a lets-get-married-and-run-away-together kind of love. Just the you're-so-nice-and-polite-that-it-really-makes-my-day-and-I-appreciate-you-doing-that kind of love. The little things. I'm all about the little things.
He says "good morning" when he has something to drop off and is so courteous. I can't help but smile and think, "Gee, I really like him."
Now DHL on the other hand are a bit different when it comes to services. The delivery guy doesn't say anything. Nothing. ZERO. ABSOLUTELY ZILCH. He has never said anything, ever. It's awkward to say the least, and I don't like it one bit. He has never once said, "Hi" or "thank you." Nope. He just hands me that little electronic board and assumes that I'm smart enough to put two and two together and sign on the dotted line.
Nothing. Unbelievable.
We then get a mass e-mail saying that we're officially moving from FedEx to DHL and everyone can just deal with it. Who made this decision? Why wasn't I included in this meeting? I have to deal with all of our packages that are running in and out of this office. Not only that, we've got mountains and mountains of FedEx supplies. What am I supposed to do with all of that? We can't just send them back. I don't think we can anyway.
Not only that, this means that I have to deal with the mute DHL delivery guy ALL THE TIME!!
I know many people would tell me not worry. To suck it up and take it like a man. It's only two minutes of awkward silence and I should be able to handle that. What you don't understand though is that I don't do anything here, so the few minutes that I do get signing for packages and talking to the delivery guy is golden! It's (sadly) one of the highlights of my day while I pretend to be a receptionist who is constantly busy up to her ears.
This sucks. I don't like change.
