Hey Everyone,
I feel that I have some explaining to do. I know my first episode (from Ireland) isn't out yet and I told many of you it would be...I'm sorry. But hear me out. It all started when I called FedEx in Dublin...they came out the next day and I met the courier and personally handed him a package of 6 tapes. Feeling good about the pick up and what was being sent I worried about nothing and along with the rest of you I awaited my first episode (from Ireland). The end of the week then came...no episode. The weekend came and past...no episode...So then I get an email from NBC. I clicked away thinking that they would be saying “great work”, “1st Episode looks amazing”, “thanks for the footage”....but no. They were wondering where the tapes were. So I called FedEx. They never got them. It's at this point that I realized that FedEx was in fact not the one who picked the tapes up, rather it was a company called ________, I won't be mean. Anyways. FedEx hired someone else to pick up the package and bring it to them so that they could then fly it over to NYC. So I get the number of the place that actually picked up my package and they tell me that it was delivered to FedEx....?????????
So both of these companies did not have the package....who did? I now can tell you who. Bill. Bill had my package. Bill was walking outside around a building where he worked. He worked at one of the offices for the courier place and as he walked back inside there on the ground beside a truck was a small box. In this box was a small package with a name and a phone number both belonging to me. So casually Bill picks up his phone and calls me "Hey, you Roger?"..."yeah" I say. "I have your tapes, what should I do with them?" Overwhelmed with joy I said “Fly them to New York Please, thanks”.
That is my story. That is why my video is not up yet. On behalf of all the people here in Ireland (meaning me) I apologize…but please do not lose faith in me, I will see you soon.
Yikes! And I thought I was having delievery problems when FedEx refused to deliver without two printed copies of an email authorizing me to use NBC account number.
and...six tapes? Six??? I definitely no longer feel guilty for sending in two for my last episode.
Roger:
Glad to finally see the video. Gray skies or not, you have some outstanding sights before you and will be excited to see where your camera lens leads you. Keep it going.
