Flower Drama

Wednesdays are usually the one day a week that I can count on that does not involve work, unless I open up that can of worms and choose to be involved with work. Today was not one of those days. I received a call from my flower wholesaler who said that my royal velvet amaryllis stems had arrived in a bright orange shade and wanted to know what color floral spray I wanted her to send me so that I correct the shade. "Are you kidding me? I am not going to spray these amaryllis with floral spray paint. I need the correct flower that I ordered!" The wholesaler then went into this long story about how that was what she ordered and there would be no way to get in the right flower before my event on Saturday. I then took a pause and let some expletives roll through my brain, wishing I could tell her exactly what I thought. Okay I thought, well what are you going to do. Two seconds later she called again. "We see that the weather tomorrow is calling for freezing rain and snow so we will not be delivering your order tomorrow, do you want it today?" Well, that would be great, but I am not working today. "If we don't get them to you today, it will probably be Friday afternoon before you get them." That will not work!!! I need for all of the flowers to open up and I can not do twelve hours worth of floral work without the flowers being open. Send them today, I said. Two minutes later....."Ms. Becca, yes its me again, the callas you needed for Saturday are all ruined. I went ahead and ordered more, but they will be fedexed to us tomorrow which means you will probably have them by Friday but maybe Saturday morning. Aren't you glad I was able to get more for you by then." At this point, my Wednesday had turned into Winesday....Oh yeah, I forgot, I am pregnant! No wine for me!!! What a sucky day! Hope everyone else is having better luck than I am.
