ARRRGGG! Part 2

Remember how I thought I had lucked out by placing my order with Barnes and Noble?

Well, I just checked and now it's saying that it won't ship until 12/24.

I should have bought them from the Cordair Gallery where I KNOW it would have been shipped on Saturday and gotten to me in plenty of time, but alas hindsight is 20/20. (In fact, since it's already going to be late, I'm going to do just that...)

I have officially given up on having those gifts in hand for the holiday. This means that I will wind up paying additional shipping when I get back from Christmas to send my dad one of his presents.

This really pisses me off because I took special care to order all of my gifts in plenty of time for the holiday and it didn't matter.

And this, children, is how the Internet ruined Christmas.

Can you have it shipped directly to him?

See, this is where my MBA pays off: that's exactly what I've done!

I printed out a picture of it from the Cox & Forkum site with a description of the book so he knows what to expect, too!
