Gaaah, online shopping can be so exasperating! I bought a pair of UGGs in the Snow Peak style on eBay which sell here for $299 so when I got it for only $83 (plus killer s/h of course), I couldn't let it get away. The seller had stupidly marked the value on the UPS package as $300 U.S. which was not only extremely inconsiderate, especially considering the ridiculous customs and bokerage fees we, Canadians, need to face, but also odd because I know for a fact that this style sells in the U.S. for only $250.

So the UPS man came demanding that I pay $101, which I of course had adamantly refused. I contacted the seller, informing him that he needs to fax in another invoice to change the value to only $83, as is appropriate because that was how much I paid and the boots weren't even packaged in the original box and hence, could be "second-hand" for all I know. He e-mailed me yesterday morning about faxing it later that day and I called UPS to double-check just now, and it turns out he still hasn't done it. That asshole. It was snowing earlier today and I want my damn boots!

I also bought an Adios Star Caramella on eBay for $10 U.S., but after shipping and conversion, the total came out $24 CDN which is of course ridiculous because the girl only lives like 25 minutes away from me. What's even more ridiculous is that she mailed it out over two days ago and Canada Post still hasn't delivered it to me yet. I've had packages from Japan arrive faster than this damn thing! Not only does Canada Post have extremely high shipping rates, but it is perhaps one of the world's slowest and least dependable postal services. If I get into the JET Programme, I will take advantage of Japan's speedy postal service as much as possible. :D

I went to work today, which was quite uneventful. I got to see him briefly (<3), but he's always working in the back so I never get to chat with him properly at work. :( I haven't been hanging out with anyone lately, especially not the usual gang (other than the girls) so I really haven't spoken to him much at all. Maybe when summer finally roles around...

Chapters wants to organize a CN Tower Climb under their name. I'm seriously considering doing it twice this year, because if JET accepts me, I may not be able to come back to Canada in time to do it next year. Scott told me the company just wants to become more eco-friendly. I think it's because Heather Reisman wants to make her company look better. :P
