My Lovely New Couch

Isn't it beautiful?  What?  You don't see a couch in the photograph?

Grr.  I am beyond irritated.  We were scheduled today for delivery of the sofa for the new apartment.  We waited there for a couple of hours, and then we got a notification via phone message that the delivery truck had arrived.  We waited some more, but no one came up with the sofa, so we went downstairs to find out what was going on.  Apparently the delivery man did not have the proper credentials (saying what company he was delivering for), so security would not allow him in!  Now who knows where the sofa is ... probably dumped out under an overpass somewhere.  I called the company we ordered the furniture from, and they were very unhelpful and very unapologetic.  Now they won't even reschedule delivery until the building can prove that they have received some e-mail purportedly sent yesterday showing they have the required insurance coverage!

We were supposed to have a bed and headboard delivered on Monday, but the driver couldn't figure out how to get to the building because of the Veteran's Day parade.  So that was rescheduled for tomorrow.  I am not holding my breath. 

PS:  That huge cardboard box on the right side of the picture contains the glass top for the dining table.  The dining table that collapsed in bits moments after we had assembled it a week ago.  Still waiting for the replacement part for that.  I despair.
