A near slip

Learned a great lesson the other day. Always check the packing slip when you receive an order. I recently purchased some wood pieces from a supplier. I didn't open the box right away. A week or so later, I opened it to retrieve one of the wood pieces. I was about to throw away the packing slip without reading it. But that little voice we all have that reminds us to be thorough suggested I take a gander at the slip before I tossed it. And there it was. I forgot that I also ordered some brass hook eyes. They were listed on the packing slip. Sure enough, the little bag of hook eyes was bureid at the bottom of the box.

"Hey", I said to myself, "I really needed these!"
