Ordered an item of flat pack furniture the other day
Yesterday get an email saying they missed me. Don't think much of this as I had my headphones on so prolly didn't hear the bell.
Today get another missed delivery email. That's a little odd as I have been sitting quietly on my sofa all day.
I'll just check in case I gave them my old address or something
Worse than that!!
Gave them my current address but w the back half of the postcode of my old address
They are trying to deliver to an address that does not exist
(one could point out that it'd be pretty easy to identify where it's supposed to go but w/e that's not the courier's problem)
Tomorrow will be their third & final attempt
Ok I'll contact Evri (the courier)
Website suggests arranging a re-direct to your correct address but have to choose from a list of my ''''neighbours'''' IE addresses on the street w the postcode I entered
They have live chat on their website but its a robot
Robot takes my details and says someone will be in touch
Not really sufficient I need to sort this before the end of the day
Call them. It's just another robot
Find their actual customer service number online. Select the right sounding option in the phone tree. It's just more robot.
Choose a different option till I get a real person
'hi I know this is the wrong extension but please help'
They say up to 48 hours for my call to be returned & suggest I contact the seller
Seller's website has live chat
It's yet another robot!!
Fortunately it puts me through to a real person
Yeah they can't help
'evri doesn't change postcodes' well fuck me I guess
Fortunately the postcode I put in is adjacent to my actual postcode so fingers crossed whatever location it gets sent to for collection will be nearby
Message my 1 friend w a car like hi. I need you to help me. Bcos I'm stupid.
I might be stupid.

Scott's World of Tomorrow
Tumblr media
It was February 1956, a young Scott Heyward had just turned 16 years old. His father, Duster Heyward of Heyward Oil is about to spoil him.
"Well son taday's yer birthday. What do ya wanna do?"
"Can we go to Disneyland Pa? They have a whole section called Tomorrowland and a race car track called Autopia."
Mr. Heyward smiles as he claps Scott's shoulder.
"Tha's mah boy. Disneyland's gonna be a great client ta have. Can't be runnin no rides without oil."
"Yeah and maybe if they have real cars there I can take some notes for the research department."
Mr. Heyward chuckles as he goes to the phone.
"Ah'll just let yer tutor know yer goin on a field trip. That oughta make 'em happy yer doin yer science project."
"Ok, Pa."
Time Skip
"Alright then son. Ah'm gonna be talk with some a Disney's people. They said some fella named Bob Gurr's gonna be walkin ya through Autopia."
"Wow. Thanks Pa!"
Scott sits down on a bench with his camera and notepad. A young man his 20s approaches him.
"Are you Scott Heyward?"
"Yes. Are you Mr. Gurr?"
"That I am. Just call me Bob today. It's really an honor to have you and father come to the park today."
The two shake hands and start to walk to Tomorrowland.
"Now as you can see, the Moonliner was designed by one of my colleagues, John Hench and of course sponsored by Howard Hughes of Trans World Airlines."
Scott takes some pictures as they walk through the attraction. They get to the Monsanto Hall of Chemistry.
"Are you familiar with Monsanto, Scott?"
"Oh yes. I was only 7 when they had that explosion down in Texas City. Pa sent a crew to bring oil down to the site. He managed to get a deal where we can have a couple ships down at the port."
Bob nods. Eventually they make it to Autopia.
"Now this is what I helped design. I used what I learned from working with Ford."
"You worked with Ford? What did you do?"
"Well I helped design the Lincoln Continental. I published a few books on automotive design and that's what brought Mr. Disney's attention over to me. He wanted me to analyze the chassis for these cars. Originally designed by Hartmann Engineering, they were having issues regarding the ability to be mass produced. Too noisy and smokey with a lot of vibration. Eventually the company dropped out so I was brought on permanently to come up with a different design."
Scott's writing all of this down the best he can. Mr. Gurr's slowly turning into an idol.
"So where did you get the design for the cars? They don't look like anything I've ever seen."
"Take a closer look. If you're familiar with Porsche, I took the idea of their 54 550 Spyder and combined it with the recent custom made Italian Ferraris. Of course the Chevrolet Corvette also served as inspiration."
"Wow."
Bob continues telling his story. Scott listens to every word including everything about engineering he has yet to learn.
"What make are these cars now?"
"Currently these are the Mark II's. I had to fix the chassis so they can accommodate a sturdier, smoother-running engine. We've been getting a lot of youngsters so it was necessary to add booster seats and extensions on the peddles. I just finished a prototype for the Mark III and already started work on the Mark IVs"
"Why? What's wrong with these models?"
"Longevity and ease of repair. With how popular this attraction is getting it's only a matter of time before these cars will need repairing. Every month we're learning something new about what people like and don't like about the car. Just goes to show that even when a product is a success, there's still a lot that needs to be done to perfect it."
Scott writes this down as Bob finishes talking.
"Would you like to ride in one of these, Scott?"
"Yes! I'd love to."
Bob chuckles as they wait in line to ride in one of the cars.
Time Skip
"How was yer trip son?"
"I loved it Pa. Mr. Gurr let me take so many pictures and showed me all of Tomorrowland."
Mr. Heyward smiles as they make their way back to Texas. Scott would recite his notes and Bob's story. His father could only nod along as he never really got into the science side of business.
"Well Ah bet yer science project'll turn out real good."
"Oh yeah Pa. Until science finds a better way, everything needs oil. Even the rockets."
"Thatta boy. Yer gonna be takin Heyward Oil inta space."
Scott smiles and sits back in his seat. He starts to fantasize about making his own world of tomorrow.

untitled elriel snippet, set post-acosf:
y'all i wrote this in the car before my yoga class. i am feeling so unhinged! but it's obvious that elain & rhys need to have a little talk about his orders to azriel...
“And what if Feyre had loved Tamlin?” Elain asks. Her eyes burn. “Would you have invoked the Blood Duel?”
“That’s an Autumn Court custom.”
Elain huffs. “That’s not the point. If Feyre had been happily in love with Tamlin, if she had married him, would you have fought it?”
Rhys pauses, considering his sister-in-law. “No,” he says softly. 
“And why is that?”
“Because,” Rhys starts, “from the moment that bond appeared, I knew I loved her more than my own life. My own happiness. More than anything. And if he had made her truly happy…” he trails. “No, there would have been no fight.” 
Elain’s face flames. Usually there’s a light pink blush across her cheeks and nose, mirroring her favorite dresses, but now her skin burns dark red. Anger. Frustration. Desperation, even. 
Rhy quirks a brow. “Do you love him, Elain?”

Lamborghini Countach LP400 S "Cannonball Run," 1979. Chassis number 1121112 was originally delivered to the Lamborghini distributor for Rome, Italy, SEA Auto, who almost immediately had the car exported to the United States of America. Hal Needham. the movie's director, decided the factory original Countach wasn’t quite wild enough for the film, so it was modified by adding a new front spoiler with additional lights for night driving. In 2021 The Cannonball Run Countach made history by entering the Library of Congress National Historic Vehicle Register.
