Amazon are normally pretty good at logistics, but sometimes they disappoint.

I ordered a pack of AA Duracell batteries on Monday, advertised as being for next day delivery.

They did not come on Tuesday.

They did not come on Wednesday.

I checked yesterday on their tracking, and apparently they were in Germany.

I checked again today. They are now in Belgium. Progress, I suppose?

Serves me right for ordering such an obscure and unusual item, I guess.

A majority of #Amazon Air Hub workers in #SanBernardino have signed #union cards with the Teamsters!!! This comes after years of organizing and an intensive 3-week campaign.

The news will probably come out more widely today, but for now, here's a link: instagram.com/p/DDdBIOsuLEA/

There is a TV ad running now in pre-Xmas times here in Sweden. It is using the classic track "What the World Needs Now, is Love, Sweet Love”.

While I don't disagree with the message itself, I do find it really provoking that this message is brought to me by #Amazon
