Because apparently I wasn't stressed out enough already...

I ordered Christmas gifts for my family on Amazon.com on December 12. All items were in stock, available now, and sold by Amazon.com.

Amazon JUST sent me an email telling me "Oops, sorry, turns out it's taking longer than expected to find one of your items, so your order won't arrive until after December 26."

Um, hello, THEY'RE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. And I ordered way early!

They won't even let me cancel the order or expedite the shipping.

So either I give my family nothing for Christmas and ship it all later, or else I have to go to Barnes & Noble and hunt all this stuff down in real time, then bug Amazon for a refund when the stuff eventually arrives.

*cries*

*urges friends to avoid Amazon for important purchases*

I might print off the covers. But it's just, y'know, I go there and really the entire point is the unwrapping of presents. That's the only thing we do together, as a family, for the entire year. So I should have the actual wrapped pretty presents. *sigh*

They shipped this morning and are scheduled to arrive after Dec 25, despite my calling Amazon last night and them promising to figure out what was going on. So I'll wait and if they don't arrive on Saturday, I'll walk over to B&N and pray that they have them there. *sigh*

Oh, and I totally watched Profit when it aired! Well, actually it was one of those shows I kept meaning to watch, and then I finally watched an episode and realized how completely awesome it was... and then it turned out that was the final episode ever to air. I was pissed off about that for YEARS. So glad the DVDs are out now.
