Be The Jam

Some of the things to have to deal with today are.

The Company who make Clark Jungle Hammocks, Clark I think, kindly agreed to send a couple of hammock for use in Ecuador. They sent them from America and the lovely people at Customs stopped them and said I couldn't have them unless I paid a ransom, if I didn't pay by the 1st of October they would be sent back to America. A few email bounced back and forth and it was established that I really did have to pay the ransom. This I agreed to do on the 29th of September. It wasn't until the 3rd of October, past the deadline for payment, that they told me that I needed to be sorting all this out with Parcelforce not with them, so as far as I know the hammocks have been returned to America.

Walk past bank at 8am and make a note of the 9am opening time so that I can be at the front of the queue of content customers waiting to shout at them for loosing their money. Return at 9am to find a piece of paper stuck to door saying that the bank doesn't open until 9.30 on a Wednesday.

Try unsuccessfully to get money out of paypal.

No I have to go to the Post Office, I have a sinking feeling.....

I have just realised that running a business from the jungle will entail my dealing with this kind of nonsense on a daily basis so effectively I'm taking the worst of modern life with me - yay.
