I guess I contributed as well. I did the necessary field work and he made the necessary phone calls. We make a great team apparently.
Kona would have come through had I called that evening. Supposedly a lady had shown up to their store right before close and bought all 19 elephants. I have no idea why she wanted 19 pink glittery elephants, but I'm not judging. After all, I'm the one that was searching all of the Hawaiian islands for one of these suckers.
Did I mention they're adorable?
How was I to know that would happen? Seriously, what are the odds? (Although with my luck, I should have known.) I guess I just considered how my workplace functions and assumed there'd be a total lack of communication between whoever took the phone call that evening and the person that would have to ship it the next morning. Better to wait until the morning so the same person would be taking care of my box o' elephants.
Well, clearly I was wrong. Not to worry though, California came through. I'm still getting my elephant. Actually Mike ordered me five elephants. They were on clearance and, considering my recent talent for destroying wine glasses, he correctly assumed some back-ups weren't a bad idea.
Only downside is the lack of closure. After all that trouble I can't even hang the sparkly guy up. They just all got boxed up with the Christmas decorations until next year.
Bummer.
