It’s almost Dark Moon and my weightloss lunation plan has kinda gone to shit. I’ve definitely reached a plateau with my weight — same weight for the last four weeks — but the sad, pathetic thing is, that weight is heavier than when I first started trying to lose weight! BUGGER, BUGGER, BUGGER!!!!!!
My other source of pure f*****g frustration is the protein bars I ordered online over 3 weeks ago (when I last ordered them 7 months ago they only took a few days to arrive). A few emails back and forth resulted in the bars supposedly being re-sent as the first lot must have gotten lost (or more likely were never sent in the first place). I got a phonecall on Monday this week advising me that one flavour wasn’t in stock so I chose another to replace it. I was told my order (4 boxes) would be sent out that afternoon …so I waited, hoping each day for these elusive protein bars to arrive. I was all set to send an email off to the supplier earlier this afternoon about the fact that they still hadn’t arrived when I had one of those precognitive/intuitive moments and decided to wait another couple of hours.
About 2 1/2 hours later a courier truck did arrive and delivered my protein bars. Yay!! — oh joy, oh happiness I thought!!! I opened the box, read the packing slip first and saw 5 boxes listed, instead of only 4. Happiness again, thinking they’d given me an extra box to make up for all the hassle. BUT, as I rummaged through the foam chips to get the bars out I soon realised there were only 3 boxes of bars, not the 4 I had ordered and paid for and not the 5 I thought I was getting based on what was on the packing slip. FAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRK!!!!!! NOT HAPPY!!!!!!

Now to calm down and send another email.
EDIT: 2/9/2011
The business owner was most apologetic about the stuff-ups and sent the missing box of Granola Crunch, which arrived this morning along with a complementary box of Peanut Butter Crunch. YAY! I sent a thank you email back to him. All happy now!
