God I love electrical engineering/tinkering
Had an appliance break last week, took it to the lab, opened it up, did unspeakable inadvisable electronic things, slapped it together and now it's all good
~5h of work saved me an entire €10, incredible!

The local postal service has become a fucking joke. It was bad, but I have rarely had this shit of an experience with it.
Bought a few things from a German store, usually works great because that's another EU country, but it's taken the postal service a full working week now to get my package to somewhere I can pick it up.
It got into the country in the morning hours of Monday and the tracking said I'd have it that day so I stayed home. Two hours after the proposed delivery time it was still not here and the tracking updated that it was still in the same place as at 1am...
Package traveled to the city I live in during Tuesday but got here in the evening for delivery on Wednesday, but I couldn't be home on Wednesday. The door delivery failed as I was not home(it would have failed if I was home too because they don't go into apartment buildings also never asked for door delivery, it was forced on me and the delivery options button was broken).
Stayed home yesterday too as the tracking said they would make another attempt but with no specified time, then it updated to saying I had received notification of where I could pick up my package and then a few hour later it said I could not be reached at my telephone number with calls or texts so I would get a "different notification". At no point had I gotten any contact from them. All I had was the tracking number. Nothing in the mailbox, no email, nothing at all.
Package went back to the distribution terminal late last night and apparently I have been notified by a mail slip where and when I can pick up my package. Haven't checked that yet but if they mean that they have sent me a letter the that will probably arrive on Monday
Pretty pissed as the store I bought from promised a 1-3 day delivery to where i am. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up my package today, I really need the stuff I ordered...

I really like public transport and really belive it should be expanded and utilised by more people, but when it's about €1/day cheaper and 80min/day faster to commute on a Vespa I think I'm gona go for the Vespa
This is with insurance, fuel and parking included in the calculation and the cheapest option for public transport
