Postal Phobia by Weeburd
I have a huge, deep-seated fear of mailing artwork off because of the very real chance of it going AWOL. This fear is so bad it took me almost a year to mail out something I'd finished last year because I was terrified it would get lost.
On the 8th of this month after I recovered from a major depression slump I managed to get to the post office and, after including a note on an extra piece of watercolour sketches explaining it, sent it on it's jolly way.
Only it never arrived.
I dig out the receipt to check when I mailed it and the fucking asshole at the counter didn't process it as recorded delivery like I asked. They ALWAYS do so unless he didn't hear me or something (I have a very meek, quiet voice) i have no idea but this is ridiculous and I'm going to the post office tomorrow.
I am so mad and upset right now I thought I'd finally done a good thing but NOPE LIFE GIVES ME A GREAT BIG FUCK YOU ONCE AGAIN.
I'm gonna do them a nice proper piece as a replacement because they have been amazingly patient and I am so sorry this clusterfuck has happened. This is why I should never take traditional commissions EVER goddamnit.

Ugh, I know this feeling.
And once, for Christmas, I sent a friend a thing. Only when they got it, the thing I sent wasn't in the box, but something else. It was the same box and stuff. I was like, WTF?

did you scan it first? is there a library near you you could visit to scan if you don't have one? i understand how much having the original means as a piece of art. it does such when the mailing services are unreliable for simple simple orders...

I have already scanned it! In a decent res, too. The commissioner just really wanted it in person.

That is amazingly awful, I am so sorry.
