Complaints of Our Lives
I am not happy.
I usually purchase Hallmark cards, despite the higher prices, because I've always been happy with their quality. This time around, however, has me questioning the wisdom of that policy. Since I forgot to buy cards after Christmas last year, I had to pay full price this year, but I got a box of cards anyway. Spent a night writing them up (See Wed Dec 24th blog entry), and dutifully mailing them out. And then I get a nice email from Kirk that he got my envelope but not my card. Stupid glue on the envelope must have come off. I had noticed that the envelopes were having trouble staying closed when I was licking and mailing at the post office (I do a last minute check to make sure the right cards are in the right envelopes).
At work we are having a late holiday grab-bag (ie: Secret Santa). We were supposed to have it before Christmas, but being the crizaziness before year end, we had to delay it until tomorrow. Of course, I thought it was yesterday. So on Sunday I dropped everything, including laundering my colors, and ran off to midtown before the stores closed, no idea in my head of what to get. The Swatch Store seemed like a good place to go, so off I went. Despite the mad crush of people in Times Square, and the mad crush of people inside (Where were all those teenage Asian girls when I was in high school?), I managed to select a nice watch for my co-worker. I bought it, had it gift wrapped, and asked for a gift receipt, because ladies are very fickle with their style, and she might not like the one I selected (this was a big selling point, btw, when I was deciding with the store clerk).
