Fail whale hits H&M

I've been diligently calling H&M every day to ask about this Dress. They had one available last night, so I placed it on reserve and took the BART into the city after work. It made my day, especially since I was down after reading critiques on my rejected grant that afternoon.

Sadly, the fail whale stuck. The Dress wasn't anywhere in H&M - not in one of the 6 or so closets where reserved clothes are, not on the shelf, and not on the dressing room racks. Fours sales attendants even searched with me, but no avail.

I'm soon to throw in my towel. Maybe this Dress and I were never meant to be.

One last try tomorrow.
