Wedding Planners

Remember my wedding dress?....Yeah. Still waiting to get that from a girl who wanted my to buy the frigging thing from her. She "needed" the money by last Friday. I "need" my friggin dress.

Here's the run down. She's been gone for a week from work, I don't have her number. Then, on the day she knows I always have off, she waltz in. Luckily, my maid-of-honor saw her, and made a point to call me and tell me she was there. The girl calls me and tells me she's off at 2, and has some cleaning to do, but I can come and get it that night. Um, yeah. 7:30 rolls around and she calls me and says she is going out to dinner with her parents instead, and can we do it tomorrow? I'm a fairly nice person, so I say sure. Even though I'm fairly positive that she made plans with me first, and blowing me off for free food is NOT cool.

So Sunday comes. I cancel any and all plans I have, and wait by the phone the entire day. Finally, at about 9:30-esque, I get a cutsie text message saying she was at her moms and "totally lost track of time." I told her I didn't care if she put it in a paper bag, whatever, she needed to bring it into work the next day.

CONVENIENT, you might say, that she suddenly gets sick, and can't come in to work. Now, I'm furious. I gave her the money, (although, I am NOT a moron, I have a paystub-I gave her a money order) and I fulfilled my end of the deal. SHE continually puts off my calls, texts, emails, etc. I texted her back and said I was coming over after work to get my dress, no matter what.

Now, if she still has an emotional attachment to the dress, and doesn't want to do the sale, than fine. But wasting my time, holding on to my money, making me cancel all plans until she decides to tell me, is plain bullshit. If it's that bad, then give me my friggin money-I have a dress to buy, and i don't appreciate her wasting my time. And she isn't helping her situation since her hours have been cut (missing so much time can do that, genius) by missing more time. This isn't something where hopefully they can make things work. She is PREGNANT. Her husbands income will not support the both of them. She refuses to work because of morning sickness. I worked up until I was put on bedrest.

And then she has the audacity to come to me, tell me she'll sell me the wedding dress, and then not do it. It's just disgusting. The worst part is that I work with her-and I'm a fairly well-liked person. Other people have issues with her too.

UGH.
