Airing of Grievances!!!!!

[simpsongal]

It's a little early for festivus, but I'm SO PISSED ABOUT MY ZAZZLE ORDER. 

I spent over 30 minutes on hold for them to tell me there's nothing they can do and they can't even refund me, Groupon has to process the refund.

I'm leaving town tonight, so even if I get these cards today, they're not getting mailed any time soon.  I think the part that annoys the most is that I got my sh*t together to take this photo and order this card and I'm sitting on my thumbs waiting.  And when people get my extremely tardy xmas card in 2015 (if it ever arrives) they'll think "she has a 10 month old, it must be hard to get these thigns done in a timely fashion."  LIES LIES LIES - I was ready and timely!!!

Sorry, this is the ultimate FWP but I was so excited about sending out our first xmas card with our little one. (wilted)

On the up side, I'll take $35 (or whatever) and buy booze. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la :beer:

I expected a call out. Boo.

I'm calling out farmvillelover for writing a thread announcing some people got PMs but not making me one of those people.



Also calling out 212 for leaving us.

That does suck. However, for a refund I'll send late cards.

Shutterfly didn't quite print my cards to my liking and some of them were bent as well. I called, they gave me half my money back, fished out the bent ones and I sent the cards anyways. No one has noticed yet...so win on my end.

I like to imagine that 212 got lost in her huge closet, since her last post was basically "BRB, let me check my closet."

If I got a bent card, I would 100% assume USPS was responsible - so I think you won.

No. They came in a box off the UPS truck. Super sturdy box all wrapped up. It was weird wrinkling bent...like it go stuck in the printer...not just bent on the edges. More like evenly crinkled and kinked.

Oh, I think she means she'd assume it was bent in transit from you to her. I'd think the same. LOL.

Oh I get it now. Sorry. 
I was kind of like.."Look I know my cards are wrong...mmkkkaayy!" JK. 
Yeah, someone sent me a bent card directly to me I'd think the same, but this was like weird bent. 

[bearbaby]

@justdairy - ah, well, that's even more disappointing - but sounds like you're making the situation work.

(haha - yes, I meant in transit to ME - but I can see we are all now in agreement lol)

I am LOLing at 212 in Closet Wine Narnia. Or maybe she's having a threesome with John Cusack and Cameron Diaz on the 7 & 1/2th floor of her apartment building.

She sent an SS gift and hit "like" in the reveal thread. So she's around, a little.

My grievance is that I spent all this time & effort fudge for my CWs and none of them have stopped by to pick some up yet. GUYS IT'S FREE CHOCOLOATE, WHAT'S THE HOLDUP.

It turns out those PMs are SS related and all my fault.

Elfster is weird, and when I hit "mark as sent" it emailed my SS gifter with the tracking info instead of the giftee.

It's days like today I am thankful I can work from home. I am so mad right now I am on the verge of tears. At least this way I can cry upstairs in my home office without anyone knowing.

I spent a crapload of money on stupid destination maternity clothing. Now there are holes in the sweater I bought and I need to return. And the necklace I bought for my SIL is broken. And the macy's order I could have sworn I ordered on cyber monday never went through. I hate when I think I'm done with Christmas shopping, and then find out I need to go back to the mall. I was supposed to have moved on to wrapping and baking by now!

[pinotgrig]

Hugs to you @awinter. I hope your day gets better.

leeluu - do you have Amazon prime? I'm still ordering and my stuff will be here before christmas. Sorry, though - baking and wrapping > shopping

[mellimel19]

I ordered a Christmas outfit for DD off of Zulily. The size was listed as 12 months. But it's actually size 12-18 months. She'll be swimming in that outfit. Stupid Zulily!

I don't have Prime but I think I will try the free trial in the next few days. I *think* season 4 of downton abbey is available on prime streaming, which is giving me the push I need, ha.

212 was my ss so . . . Not gone? Unless something has happened in the last few days that I don't know about.

I'm not saying she is having an affair with a famous former boy band member* or anything but she hasn't posted since November 14th.




*or is she?  dun dun dun

My husband, per my post from this morning. Enough said.

I have another. Just got home from my monthly OB appointment. I'm not a huge fan of her, but I go to her because she's the only female OB at my local hospital, and I want a female OB. Well, she told me today that she's two weeks more pregnant than me, and will certainly be on maternity leave during my RCS. Great. Now I get to be introduced to a male OB I've never met to deliver DD.
