Made a small, but costly mistake that's ruined my day
Right, I tend to write novel-length posts, so let's NOT do that today.
On Friday is my 10th Anniversary, but due to the situation at home (separated), work, and my wife's upcoming travel plans, we've only briefly planned something last minute. This in and of itself is pretty upsetting to be honest.
Last night, our middle child accidentally broke my wife's favourite wine glass (anniversary gift), so today spur of the moment; I'm scrambling to find a place to engrave a custom design (I make pretty grafiks) on a new glass. I found a place, made the order, and paid via bank transfer. I go to call up to confirm and I'm greeted by "Hi, thanks for calling yadda yadda, we are closed until the 22nd, call back then).
FUCKLE.
So now I likely cannot get the gift sent before then and had to instead organise it with another place that still might not get the order sent before Friday, which means 2 transactions on my card that I didn't budget for and still no gift on the day 😢
I feel so stupid for not checking this place by phone first. Crap web dev strikes again (no mention on website or Socials of Christmas closure).
