I just recently moved from Port Orchard, Wa. to Ocean Shores, Wa. I love the seashore. This is a flyway for birds of various kinds. Vast flights of geese coming and going twice a year, pelicans like bombers cresting the waves, ducks and many other birds migrating the shoreline. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, cloud formations, moonrise and star glow.
Yet inspiration has departed this poor soul in his hour of need.
I realized that the small desk I brought with me was insufficent now for my needs, so I ordered a new, larger one from Staples.
Order was delivered on 1/1/12. Box had been opened and resealed. I pointed this out to driver. We opened the box and gave it a casual inspection. All looked good. In going over the parts carefully, I discovered that the desktop was split down the middle, piece “Q” was missing and other parts were without labels. I can manage about labels but not missing or broken parts.
I contacted Staples and they placed a new order with you for the broken desktop and missing item. They have been very nice about it even offering to make a complete replacement from their inventory. I got in touch with your company via number on instruction booklet and was told that yes an order was placed for missing item and new desktop to be shipped via FEDEX in 7-10 days.
Meanwhile the room this desk was to be installed in is a mess. I can hardly walk through it. I had to reinstall my computer on a fruit box and phone on the floor. Dinner is wherever I can fit it in. No breakfast.
Can you let me know if above order has indeed been placed and about when it will arrive so I do not have to sit around this house on my hands for 7-10 days waiting for it to show up. Even the cat has forsaken me.
If possible can the FEDEX driver be informed to leave the item on the porch in the event (very likely) no one is home. If not I will just wait in my bedroom looking out the window for delivery. Thank you.
The email above was sent to the company I ordered the desk from. I am waiting now for the broken and missing parts to arrive.
I can write nothing with inspiration in it until the desk is up, house cleaned and strightened, and my life back in order. I don't even have the inspiration to go after photos.
Odd isn't it how we let these kinds of things interfer. If I lived in a dump, I would have no problem with inspiration, but when my house has become a dump, I do.
