To my utmost horror

My day was officially spoilt in the crudest manner you can think of. Let me share my story.

I initially thought today was just like any ordinary day and probably a little bit more special because I thought I will be receiving my online goods today and latest by tomorrow. So I rushed home, my mood half-elated. This elated-ness reduced to a quarter by the time I reached home due to the fact that no one was home to let me into the house. My sister was over at the gym and my brother was on his way back from university. Feeling lazy to make my way over to McDocald's(it's the nearest fast food restaurant around), I waited outside the apartment by sitting on the patch of grass reading The Lite(free newspaper). I was fortunate because my brother came back by the time I reached the Sports section.

The moment I stepped into my apartment, I searched around for packages. There was none. Suspicions began to seep in. I decided to track my order and found that there is none listed in my account. Then I realised that I have another account and could have ordered my merchandise through it. I logged on to it and to my utmost horror the status was "Order Unsuccessful".

My mind went into a state of chaos and confusion. "How did this happen?" I asked myself. It hit me again. The account was registered with another e-mail account(gmail) I have, which I never checked the inbox ever in my whole life, until just now. I scrambled my way and logged onto the account. The e-mail was there, informing me that my order was cancelled with the reason being "
you did not supply an issue number when we expected one, or the issue number you supplied was non-numeric or too long". It was sent 4 days ago.

I sat there staring at the screen, not knowing how I should react. The items which I ordered were sold out. It's not possible to re-order them again. My mary-janes are gone and Amanda's pumps and bags are also gone. My day is hereby ruined.

Note: Amanda, if you are reading this, I am really sorry! :( Really sorry. I can help you order any other stuff you want and will inform you of future sales!
