And now my friend is worried that this flat bd driver who told her he was from the insurance company might just be a dude who has the means to steal an Amazon truck and saw her post on Facebook.
I told her she has no duty to protect Amazon’s property and they are ALL trespassing since she didn’t invite any of them. Let him take the truck. She’s not responsible. (Putting that law degree to work.)
Latest news: the flatbed truck cannot get back up the driveway without the weight of the Amazon truck on the bed.
But!!!
Because when the driver was rescued, he took the keys and van is locked so there is some problem with getting the Amazon truck loaded.
Waiting now for someone else to come out with keys, a Star Trek transporter, or a portable blast furnace to melt the snow.
The insurance company for Amazon sent this latest flatbed tow truck. Now the owner of the towing company is on his way over. My friend, her neighbors , all our friends and y’all on Mastodon are all 
totally invested.
Also 100% sure Amazon will refuse to ever again deliver anything (on purpose) to her house.
So the driver got rescued a few hours ago and they decided to abandon the truck for night and deal with it tomorrow. So my friend thought. A flatbed truck has arrived, negotiated the driveway, but can’t turn around at the bottom and is now stuck.
has been sitting in the truck all afternoon. My friend hobbles out every hour to bring him hot drinks and see if he’s ok, but he won’t come in (see flu sick kid). Dude must be losing their mind.
So, she doesn’t want any of us to come over and shovel. Amazon is apparently trying to find a plow guy. If not, they’ll abandon the truck and hopefully send someone for the driver and deal with it tomorrow. If your package didn’t get delivered in eastern Connecticut, at least it’s got a good story.
My friend who has amazingly bad luck, like jaw dropping bad, threw her back out yesterday helping her kid (who is sick with flu) out of bed. And broke the bed.
This afternoon, an Amazon driver took a wrong turn down her long, steep, twisty driveway, and then got stuck because the rear wheel electric van couldn’t get back up the snow covered drive, which was unplowed since her plow guy never showed up. Two tow truck drivers took one look and said nope. Driver, who is so getting fired
I have a student with a service dog. Yesterday our class was small, only 3, and she asked if she could take the dog’s vest off because he had been on task all day. We were all OK with that and as soon as she did, Milo, the dog came up to all of us for scratches and pats, a silly goofball with a full body wag. I had not appreciated how well trained and obedient he is, how much control it takes to be working. Really grateful he’s there for my student, and impressed how much they do together.
@AngelaPreston ugh. I used to enjoy conferences and found them intellectually stimulating. But if I have to go now, often do what’s required and find a quiet place to sit and put on headphones and stare at laptop (with a good book on it)). Too loud, too much pointless interaction and “networking”. Hope you can endure the rest and breathe a sigh of relief when you get home.
Once more being reminded to freeze any acorns I pick up and bring inside. The weevil grub that just emerged on my desk safely relocated back outside.
