foiled by a common printer

print this screen as a record of your order.

so i follow directions. and i’m a little paranoid about ordering things on-line. like the time i ordered underwear (panties) from Victoria’s Secret. i took advantage of a 5 for $25 sale with free shipping and ordered 10 pairs. i received a split shipment that totaled 9 pairs. bummer. one pair was back-ordered, and an actual human scribbled illegibly on the shipment ticket, so i feel as though i don’t have legitimate proof that i got shafted out of a pair of underwear. i’ve given up hope.

i ordered a couple items from JC Penney yesterday (on sale again, with free shipping). maternity items. a pair of petite jeans, a dirt cheap pair of capris, and a couple shirts. each and every item was clearly labeled as a maternity item. and a very nice, male, newbie engineer in my department beat me to the printer. not hard to do; it’s approximately six cubes away. he saw it. he read it.

uh-oh.
