So get this. I've been quietly (or not) drooling over a new uke. Now, like any good full-time musician or full-time student (and I'm both!), I'm broke af and have only been dreaming about it since.
BUT. I flipped a thing or two and have had a pretty good summer gig-wise so far. So a few weeks ago, I started kicking some tires on some used units. Unfortunately, not much around Canada, so shipping/import fees were gonna be a must, which pushed it back out of my budget. Until! I found a floor model in Québec with free shipping. Word! Let's do it!
So I order the thing. I Paypal for the thing. They send me the thing. They send me a tracking number for the thing. And then, a couple days later, I get an e-mail...
(I'm paraphrasing here) "Hey, so... We sent you the wrong box. Would you just kindly tell the post office that we screwed up and you don't want what we sent you?"
"Uh... what? I mean... I guess. Ok. But what if I like it and want to keep it?"
"Yeah... you probably won't want to. It's a synthesizer."
What the hell? How does that happen? Has that ever happened to anyone else?
Anyway, the moral of the story is I've got a new uke on the way.
