Whoa, glad you're okay and only that matters!

[Finkster]

That pic looks evil  :o  @Anesthetist  … glad, you and your family are healthy - that's the main thing!

[Snowy]

Glad that's behind you @Anesthetist. Truly scary stuff.

@Seul dated wall paper is the best!

So I've been married for four years and have settled into the idea of the "dad bod". So I buy a pair of 634s a couple sizes up and I'm comfy again…so a few weeks ago Jody decides to give paleo a swing and now  back to my original pants size. Mother. Fucker.

Being taken to court for none payment of a fine you appealed against and never heard back from is not great.

Classic case of a blessing in disguise, no?

Ze German summer sucks so far :'(.

How friggin long can it take to clear a simple small parcel in customs at the Airport in Frankfurt? It's sitting there since serveral days without any status update. It's a pants god damn it, not a load of drugs, so pass it on you lame '!!""§$%!

[Dion]

It takes freaking long: they're so pernickety that I had to drive to the customs office once to pick up a music-CD (!!!!!). I don't dare to imagine how long it may take to clear a pants-parcel…

[Max Power]

Maybe it just doesn't get picked up by the striking postguys…

[Seul]

Any idea how long the strike will continue?.. Have a German package incoming, but it hasn't moved, hasn't even been entered into the database since Monday… 

[Pavel Pipovič]

It´s a strike for an indefinite period

Got some parcels shipped via DHL within germany, which took 10-14 days to deliver…

[Snowy]

Anyone want to do a TLDR on why they are striking? Rates, Hours, Conditions? or all 3?

[Seul]

From what I know: all three. So good luck to them!..

[BloodnThunder]

This explains why the belt I ordered from Peter Fields Berlin took over 2 weeks to receive.  Have always had slow delivery experiences with DHL, strikes or otherwise.

[Max Power]

@snowy: as far as I know one of the main topics is the foundation of smaller regional companies that employs the delivery employees and as usual there's a rik of them getting paid less. But there's also a desire for more money in general. I didn't get a letter in 3 weeks and my packages took 2 weeks (some aren't here still).

Big chaos is at my workplace, as our inpatients don't get the letters with their appointments and the health insurances don't receive the letters asking for cost coverage. A bloody mess…100 people that need treatment and are hard to reach by phone.

That's not good, and country wide. I can't imagine it lasting much longer without some kind of country wide impact/give forcing a resolution one way or the other.
