Subject: I hate Newport News

Hey remember back when I ordered a cute lil pair of shorts and a pair of pants as a reward for making a mini-goal? This was like in April sometime if I remember correctly. I ordered them from Newport News catalog. Well they finally came after much delay at the beginning of July.

Well this morning since I hit a new goal, I felt like I deserved a reward. There has been a cute pair of shorts and a sweater that I've liked in the Newport News catalog, so this time I called to check on availability. The representative said it wouldn't be shipped until mid-September. I declined because I want the outfit to wear now, not in fall.

Then I thought about it some more and decided well we DO get our best weather in Sept-Oct here, so the outfit would be perfect even if I have to wait for it. I called back to order it, and this time they told me both the shorts AND the sweater are all sold-out and they won't be getting any more. So I asked how come only an hour prior, their rep told me it would be mid-Sept? They explained it's different if you are just checking availability vs. actually ordering. Huh? If you are checking availability, don't you think that would be the best time to tell you if it's UNAVAILABLE?? Maybe it's just me, but I'm really hating Newport News -- so much so that I'm about to ask them to stop sending me their catalog, since I can't seem to get anything from it anyway. As an alternative reward, I'm going to try to go shopping this Friday for some real clothes that I can actually buy when I see them. I hate the mall, but it can't be more frustrating than this.
