Seven Years of Bad Luck
About a month ago, I was complaining about our inability to get a mirror delivered. Well… we still haven’t gotten it. Before I get to that, I should mention that the shipping company’s customer service has been about 300% better, ever since Bunky tattled on them to the VP. I’m not sure this is their fault, but here’s how it’s been going down:
- We did eventually get the mirror, after the VP stepped in. Unfortunately, when we opened up the box we found the main mirror board and frame that it swivels on… but no base. The frame simply ended in screws. I suspect that the mirror maker sent the wrong box to the shipper, but a new mirror had to be ordered.
- The new mirror (denoted mirror_2) was supposed to arrive tomorrow, at which time we were supposed to ship mirror_1 back for free. However, the shipper seemed unaware that they were supposed to pick up mirror_1, so I asked that they confirm that the pickup was feasible. They called me today to tell me that yes, it was feasible. Unfortunately they also told me that they had inspected mirror_2 before delivery and found that mirror_2 was broken. They have already put in an order for mirror_3, and I suspect the broken mirror was the fault of the shipper, as they were being awfully helpful.
So it’s going to be at least a few more weeks without a full-length mirror, and a few more weeks of waking up to Bunky frantically asking me if shoe pair 1 looks good with pants pair 3.

Before becoming the happy owner of a full length mirror myself, I enjoyed the “stand on the edge of the bathtub” maneuver to try and get the full look.
Said maneuver can result in minor contusions….
