owlectomySeveral hours after the previous miscommunication, I got another call from IKEA's delivery people confirming that I had a delivery tomorrow. I tried to explain that it had already been rescheduled; they said it hadn't been, and I should contact IKEA. I tried to do this. No one was picking up their phones.
I called the delivery company again, re-explained everything. They said they had no record of me rescheduling anything, and at any rate they didn't have any deliveries available on Sunday. I reluctantly rescheduled for the next Monday (note: two weeks after having bought the couch!), thinking that I ought to be able to get a day off work since I was scheduled to work Saturday.
I wrote an angry e-mail to IKEA. I wrote an angry e-mail to the delivery company.
Several hours later, I got another call from the delivery company, saying that I'd tried to reschedule to Sunday and tried to reschedule to Monday, and which would I prefer?
I have been saying that I'm going to have a I-bought-a-couch party just because I'll finally be able to have people over to visit, but I didn't anticipate that buying a couch would be an actual celebrateable accomplishment.

I am finally catching up on Doctor Who somewhat. Mixed feelings about the 3rd season -- I liked the second half very much, but much of the first half came off as kind of silly. (It was necessary setup, in some cases, but you can do necessary setup and a good story at the same time.)
I am profoundly glad that I wasn't watching when it was first aired, because I really hate taking sides when it comes to shipping stuff. I think I wouldn't have tried to get back into it at all, except that I got the impression (from fannish osmosis) that I wouldn't have to worry about shipping anymore once Amy and Rory got into the picture. (That said? Martha is SO GREAT.)
