frustration with little sign of ease

I bought a CD online about 3.5 weeks ago. It turned out to be cheaper to buy and ship the stupid thing from the record company in England than to go with amazon.com.

It might have been less of a headache to go with Amazon though.

After waiting what seemed like an eternity and emailing back and forth between the webmaster of TruThoughts (the record company), the package finally arrived.

I thought it was fantastic news. That was, of course, until I actually got my hands on it.

The package was opened. With nothing inside. I immediately thought my roommates had done the most inconsiderate thing I could have imagined. Luckily, one lobe of my brain quickly slapped the other and I realized that there had to be some other explanation.

There was. After looking more carefully at the monstrous envelope, I realized that the contents were lost in-transit.

Short and to the point, if something like this doesn't make you want to curse and beat the ever-loving crap out of someone, you apparently will never know that kind of anger and you most certainly have more patience than I do.

And while I am EXTREMELY angry and disappointed, I am, at the very least, grateful that I didn't have to murder one or both of my roommates.

Lord, have mercy on the souls of whoever has to deal with me in the near future. They will most likely come to the Pearly Gates very quickly...
