My Life is Horrible (tm)

Forget  MLIA, I'm talking MLIH level here.   

A few weeks ago TOR complained about dry-cleaners who use 'green' in their name while not actually doing anything organically.   Well obviously there are people who read TOR who have it in for me cause I went to go pick up my gray suit in anticipation for 8 days in Seoul and was met with the above sign saying that the business was closed indefinitely.    So now here I am on the eve of a major business trip and that nightmare I had about walking naked into my high-school English class is coming true. . My suit has been kidnapped and I'm sitting here anxiously waiting for one of those notes with all the glued on letters.  I don't know much about doing business is Korea but I do know that you are supposed to walk in with a suit and now I'm as screwed as walking into one of those Korean Massage Parlors.

 The issue is I am now frantically trying to buy another suit which just doesn't  work on short notice as they all need to tailored.  I've walked into four different places but they all need 24 hours and I can't find anything that I can just walk out with that fits well even-though I probably have one of the most typical male frames around.    As there is not time for tailoring I'm stuck trying to find one off the rack which basically means I'm limited to Target, the issue is that when I walk in there they happened to be out of a 42R jacket although they have a ton of 38S and 52L ones sitting on the rack.

Nothing more ironic than getting hijacked on a trip to Korea by a Korean dry-cleaner.
