Can't win for losing

[faithellen]

In my life, I have bought four copies of Billy Joel's Greatest Hits, vols 1 & 2. Twice on vinyl, twice on CD. All four copies have walked.

I placed an order with Overstock.com for a couple Valentines' Day gifts for Dana, and I included the Complete Collection, 1973-1997 (only $3-ish more than the other album, and two more CDs). The box arrived, and although the packing slip indicates that the entire order was shipped, there is no Billy Joel in the box.

Is it such a bad thing for me to own that the universe keeps conspiring against me?

AAAAUUUUG!

Kill Overstock.com.

Show Dana the box, and say "It's the thought that counts?"

But kill Overstock.com anyway.

All of Dana's stuff arrived, happily. :)

I have emailed Overstock, and received an autoreply saying that I will get a response in 24 hours. 2 minutes after that, I got an email saying that the box downstairs has been shipped and I should see it soon.

I wonder if that means that the Billy Joel will arrive yesterday? Hmm...

It's a VALENTINE'S DAY MIRACLE!

[pet peeve] When you figure that one out, maybe you can tell me why they seem determined to pretend that 52nd Street never existed. There were a lot of great songs on that album, and yet The Essential Billy Joel has none of them, and the The Coomplete Hits has only two tracks. [/peeve]

That, and I'd swear they've changed "New York State of Mind" from the way I remember it on vinyl and in its original radio single format. Time to fire up the turntable...
