Well I was a UPS Driver for about 5 years and routinely got requests for packages to be rerouted to a person's work address. Have you tried that?
Most of our residential deliveries were done after our business deliveries and pickups so we would be there when somebody was home. Now and then you would have a good day and get your residentials done before pick ups, but rare. Some of my customers that I could trust would leave signed notes for me to leave in a secure location (IE left a key to the gate, a big wooden box built specifically for packages) but realize the driver pays for that package if it is left against UPS policy. Yes if you leave a signed note and the Center says its not a safe place for a driver release and you still do it and it becomes a claim then it comes out of the driver's pocket.
Have you tried to talk to your neighbor? We would do that too if asked, but try to call the 1-800 number and tell them to route to the neighbors address or your work would be the best bet.
What I told my boss when I started to get to know the program was it's as if they said "Ok we're all done we have an EMR product, oh wait we need a lab component" and 5 minutes later they had a lab component. The typical response I get is "well it solves some problems like chasing down doctors to get them to give you a Diagnosis code" but what they aren't seeing is the paperwork I have to do later when the doctor used a code that is never covered and it was denied.
My best example of the lack of forethought in the programming is I have to type in 'yellow' and 'clear' for every urine I examine. A drop down box would save me so many keystrokes in a day, but it's electronic so it must be better.
Bottom line they bought a system that solved some problems but created whole new ones where none existed before.
/. car analogy: I complained about a car with no brakes so they gave me a car with brakes but no steering.
I wonder if they like OPEC?
My guess is one modeled themselves after the other, but that is just my guess.
