Yet another bumfuck nowhere

[pez]

......if I don't stay home to wait for parcel tomorrow (or rearrange delivery which will have to be a weekday anyway since they don't do weekends unless the sender specified it and I don't know who the sender is or if the parcel is even for me because the courier was too lazy to write down the name), I'll have to get the parcel from here. That's my "local" depot. IT'S NOT EVEN IN MY COUNTY.

Do I

1) Not go to work?
2) Leave the parcel alone until the sender does something about it?

I hate this bloody country. I really really do.

I don't get it! Your surname isn't that difficult. Okay, it has a syllable or two more than mine or Pez's, but come on! :|

Our postmen are really nice and kind of chatty like that. XD Also, when people answer the door they'll say things like "parcel for Mr/Ms [name]," so I guess when they see Liz's name they go fdsdhkjafhskalfdshakl. *snort*

Only a syllable or two more than mine? Really? :P

I still like how between me, Pez, and Liz we have all of two vowels in our last names, and I'm the only one with an E (Liz's pseudo-vowel Y doesn't count).

I get the impression that you northern lot find it a lot less scary, actually, I think because of a) the fact that you automatically recognise all the vowels, where an english person might not necessarily, and b) your pronunciation of the letter j making it look a bit less completely bizarre in that position. I do think the way we sound letters in english by default makes it a bit scarier for people than it needs to be. Also that they just see the big string of letters with a j on the end and panic without trying to figure it out. XDDDDD

That sounds like a sound theory, actually. English 'dz' for 'j' would make your name sound odd. It would've been far scarier to me if it had had less vowels. Polish names can be nightmarish. >>;
