My goodness, isn't woe a cool word?

Anyway, I feel I must share my annoyance with some folks.

Two weeks ago I ordered my sig laptop. For the past two weeks I have celebrated the fact with merriment and joy - until I realised I had been mailed no confirmation.

I telephoned my supplier to see if they'd received my order.

:shock::shock::shock:SHOCK, HORROR AND WOE. :shock::shock::shock:

They hadn't. On top of this, the deadline for orders is the 15th. Luckily we received two order sheets, even though you are only allowed to order one package on this deal. Almost as if they expected this to happen. We've fired it off ASAP, but anyone who knows Britain knows that the post office is about as reliable as a Dell (funny joke).

So I must wait. Wait to find out if my order reaches them in time. For the next three to five days I shall be biting my nails, waiting for the confirmation - what if my order is late? I mean, I'd expect ordering fiascoes with Alienware, but not my supplier (funny joke number two). And if this order doesn't go through, I get no laptop, and probably no laptop in the foreseeable future.

Share my pain, won't you?
