had a bad day

My morning started by composing this email to my former (aka brocade home) love:

Wow. What is going on with this company?! I've got lots of problems/confusions with this order. First, I ordered EIGHT chairs (not two) and was told over a month ago that they were no longer available. So, imagine my surprise to see I've got two chairs en route to me. Unfortunately, I can't use two chairs. They're intended for a table that requires eight. You'll have to intercept them somehow or come pick them up once they get here.

Second, it appears you overcharged me for the first item you sent me (the table) since I bought these all at the "50% off sale prices" sale. Which would bother me, but then a week ago you credited my account by a large random amount. And so now it seems that you have given me four hundred dollars and some furniture. So, um, thanks.

Third, I left a message on Saturday regarding a broken glass taper I received and have yet to hear from anyone. I guess we'll have to figure that out too.

And so on. Summer love can be SO fickle.

The day ended with me and all four children stranded in our car for over two hours, which had a dead battery, unable to be charged in a timely manner because Jimmy left his phone at the office and mine was in my other purse. Drat. The finishing touch, however, was Ashlyn throwing up into her lunch box in the backseat. That was super fun.

I hope your day was better.
