Arghhh, Part Deux


I can't believe this.

You know our express shipment, the stuff that was packed up and sent the day before we got on the plane, which contains, among other things ...

* my Kitchen-Aid mixer and all its attachments
* the hotshot expensive grind-and-brew coffee machine
* almost all my dishes, bakeware, silverware and cooking utensils
* an entire set of brand-new executive schwank-ass cookware
* my sewing machine
* at least half a dozen partially-finished quilt tops (including the ones for my niece and nephew)
* almost all of my fabric stash
* my newish, expensiveish large-format printer
* more than a thousand bucks' worth of scrapbooking gear (purchased piecemeal over several years)
* my overpriced vacuum
* a bunch of my favorite clothing
* ALMOST ALL THE PHOTOS OF MY CHILDREN FROM BIRTH THROUGH FALL 2002, WHEN I GOT A DIGITAL CAMERA, AND YES, I'M SCREAMING RIGHT NOW!

The movers were a bunch of dumbasses, I was worried it would get screwed up, and YES IT APPARENTLY DID.

It's missing.

Nobody knows where it is.

First, they told me it would take a month to get here (when it's supposed to be about a week). Monday would have been the one-month mark, more or less, and today they say THEY HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHERE IT IS AND THEY HAVE TO RUN A TRACE.

I am drinking heavily. Sorry about the typos.

Please send your find and deliver all the most valuable non-human articles in my life pronto, unbroken vibes. God knows I need them.

They'll find it. How can that much stuff just disappear? They probably just wrote down the wrong number or something. *sending all the vibes I can muster*

As long as you have been in the gambling spirit of late, let's lay bets on when it WILL arrive ;-)

I say just in time for Christmas, everything will be *new* again and enjoyed even more than it ever was. All I got is $5.00 though for the jackpot... :P

Seriously - wishful/fingers crossed, pray vibes!

This is not a bit surprising. The guys from Matson who moved me back to the Mainland 13 years ago were similarly dumbassed, and while my stuff wasn't lost, a lot of it arrived broken and/or in disarray.

They'll find your stuff. Keep drinking to numb the frustration, but they'll find it.

Oh geesh, HB... sorry to hear this. Hope it shows up soon, and in great condition, and with an extra box of chocolate from them as an apology.

Oh no, that's my biggest fear!! Do you have rental insurance or anything like that? Just in case? Not that it would replace your photos or anything, but still ... I hope those jerks can get organized enough to figure out where it went. Vibes your way!

I do have rental insurance, thank Scissors, but I keep thinking they're going to be skeptical that I actually had all that expensive stuff in there, yk? (oh, suuuure you had two Rolexes in the shipment, heh)

ugh! hoping you were able to forget for a while last night, and that you receive news soon that they've found it.

hoping also that the other problems get straightened out ASAP too!
