Not me, but a "startup" I'm consulting for today that's pivoted many times over the last 13 years. They spun out a different website focused on a single offering about a year and a half ago that led to them developing a focus (sales and tech both) on a specific market and has led to a crazy uptick in business. I can share the URLs if the HN community is curious to see the difference between the two.

FedEx is indeed frustrating and I'd like to share my experience.

My current home is an area that became incorporated about 4 years ago resulting in new addresses for all residents. When looking up my home, almost all map apps leave off the house number. FedEx can't process this, freaks out and ships my packages to my old address. The shipping notification email I receive from FedEx always says "your shipping address has been changed" with absolutely no prompting from me. This has resulted in me trying many things in order to correct with no resolution. Most times, I receive my package by jumping through one or more hoops with no resolution to the core issue.

The hoops:

  1.) drive to the old address to pick up packages (an hour drive) 

  2.) Call FedEx and waste a minimum of 35 minutes each time
 
  3.) Re-route packages to a nearby FedEx store 

  4.) Call the merchant, some have helped, some have directed me to the shipper 

  5.) I've created a FedEx account, deleted all shipping addresses except for the current

  6.) Written a script I copy and paste to Twitter support with all information they will need. They typically respond with "the ticket has been submitted, we don't have any further information"it's sort of a spray and pray approach. Either I'll get an updated shipping notification or nada. If I receive nada day-of delivery, I'm calling or rerouting.

  7.) Update my address in Google Maps, but I don't think it took
My wife's solution has been to have all of her (mostly Target) packages be delivered to her parents' house which is equally frustrating. This address issues also affects my ability to order Jimmy John's online, their system just won't let me, I have to call it in. DoorDash requires I spell out how to find my house in the notes (I've noticed most delivery drivers don't read the notes until they can't find my house).

To one-up OP, I have a World Cup ball from Adidas stuck in some delivery delay hell. It's actually funny now, I'm coming up on my 1st anniversary of placing an order for an item that I haven't received yet. Ordered the ball on 8/16/18, and just received the latest email update notifying me of a delay only 2 days ago. I called support last November and they said that the ball is stuck in the warehouse and they apologize for the delay. I could have opted for a refund then but decided to let it ride. I really want that ball. Photo for proof: http://tinyurl.com/y2st8lt4

That's sweet. I can see how that can be tough though, how do you say no? It'd be a welcome interruption for me, but I think I'd be able to shut the door/block it out when needed. My wife is home during the summers (works at a school), so I could have her play interference as necessary.

Very similar situation as you. Kid will love to hop on my lap and play with the mouse. He's even participated in a few conference calls! Luckily, his grandparents are nearby so I will drop him off every single day. Huge peace of mind and doesn't get in the way of work. I'm considering day care now as I don't want to continue to burden the grandparents (they say they love it, but they have lives too!) Is day care an option for you?

Also would love to know if this works. This might eliminate my desire to buy the Android Pixel C device. On the flip side, if this is limited to Chromebooks, this might increase the desire to buy the Chromebook Pixel.

I'm sure I can accomplish this with a simple Google search (and I'm going to do that next) but I do want to put a request out there. I'd love to see some use cases of successful, complex Slack integrations and how the organization has saved time/money by making Slack a part of their workflow. It seems to be a tool built for developers, at least I see a lot advocates that are developers. I want to know how personnel across multiple departments feel about using the tool.

When I'm sad or depressed, I feel "stuck". All my side projects, all my fun hobbies, everything I normally get excited about goes on hold. Heck, I can't even function properly at my job. The feeling grips me and causes a dull headache. I feel alone and I can't shake it. Normally, I can be alone and pursue all my fun passion projects. Or be able to learn. Or perform my job like a man on drugs.

When sad, though. I'm a zombie. Nothing inspires creativity, nothing makes me excited. When I feel like that, I'm definitely not in my comfort zone. If you want help with your research, PM me and I'll be happy to share my experience with you.

An unobtrusive bracelet, paired with a a great app, that I could wear on my right wrist (watch on the left) would be ideal. I wouldn't mind an un-obnoxious vibrate option that lets me know I have a notification or that I need to wake up. At $49 that would be a day 1 buy for me.
