Why I hate Internet shopping

I decided that I HAD to have a pair of ballet boots that lock on last month.

I shopped around on the internet with Mistress and we settled on a pair from Dressed2Play. $168+other stuff came to $186.95. I paid via PayPal and thus begins my Tale of Woe.

The first payment went smoothly from my point of view. PayPal sent me a confirmation of payment and I relaxed. The next day my bank informed me that the money had been withdrawn and all was good. Until I checked email and found several notes reminding me to pay from D2P. I ignored these figuring that they had not checked their balance yet and the emails were sent automagically.

Then more notices came and I sent a copy of the confirmation notice to customer service, figuring they just needed the confirmation number to look up the payment, which PayPal verbally confirmed with me, to find my payment. Mistakes happen, say I.

More notices and email contacts ensued, with the result that I opened a dispute with PayPal. D2P and I hashed it out and it seemed to me that they had found the money finally. I closed the dispute and clicked the pay button. This caused ANOTHER payment to be withdrawn from my account and sent to D2P. This time they find the money right away and send me the boots. Grrr

When the boots arrive, Mistress examines them and tells me that they do not really lock, the lock is merely decorative and the lock flap holds on with Velcro. I wanted locking, not Velcro. I can get out of Velcro and Mistress doesn't want me to escape.

So now I'm angry but am too wimpy to really make a scene so I have turned the whole mess over to my "other" Mistress, Madame P. She makes sport of bullying hapless customer service drones and brags about Her victories. She claims that this is Her hobby! I'm betting that She gets all my money back within a few days and possibly gets to keep the wrong shoes anyway but I'm not too hopeful on that.

Anyway, I now have to go look elsewhere for ballet boots, I will not buy from D2P any more. But I am waiting for the money to be returned first. I cannot afford to lose that kind of money...I'm not paid THAT well!

Toodle-OOO!

I hate slow days!

Today, a rather slow day for me was also a fairly BAD day. I managed to break two nails and chip a third trying to escape from a bathroom stall. Then, whilst cleaning my new ear piercings, I discovered a hematoma in the right lobe, necessitating the removal of the stud, lancing the mass, draining and cleaning the lobe and now virtually guaranteeing my having to have the ear repierced since I now cannot reinsert the stud.

Phooey! And that's not all. My dog happened to step on the antenna to my wireless network adapter, breaking it off and forcing me to spend $70 to replace it. And to top it all off, I have to go BACK to my customer to retreive my trailer which is going to be unloaded at the ungodly hour of five am. They tell me it should take about four hours to unload, count, verify and break down. This convenience comes with a $280 price tag but well worth it.

My planned visit to my Mistress has had to be postponed a week (maybe more) due to events beyond my control. I am hoping to take a week off and fly in to be with Her and to truly begin the first day of the rest of my life. She and I were chatting the other day and I came up with the expression "A man trapped in the body of a woman" to describe what I am to become. How apt! I should be a poet or something! I'm going to find ways to use that in the future, I like the sound of it!

If I get what I want from the company I work for, I should be with Mistress just in the nick of time for Hallowe'en, a day that all sissies and others can feel safe dressing in public. Mistress and Her friend have been plotting to dress me in some over the top costume and taking me to a party (or hosting one themselves). I hope we go out, else I will have to serve the party and properly should wear my maids' dress, either the pink or the black and not a costume. I wonder what Miss Veronica Vera would say on the subject of a sissy maid dressing in a costume and serving at a Hallowe'en party?

What do you all think? If I have to serve at a party, should I wear a proper maid dress or can I wear another costume without violating the etiquette of a sissy maid?

Well, I'm going to get back to filing my nails and trying to make them look better.

Love and kisses to you!
