Sometimes the best customer quotes are inadvertent...

We have the "How did you hear about us?" box but sometimes our system also shows us what you were searching for on the search engine when you clicked into our site. I always think its funny when you've been searching for "tacos" and suddenly you're purchasing a Happy Bunny lanyard.

Today a customer clicked in after searching for:

I did not have sexual relations, Clinton, sound bites

(he bought a Simpsons shirt)

and another clicked in after searching for:

KNITTING PATTERNS FOR PONCHO

(she bought some "Chicks Rule" merchandise)

Synchronicity

I believe in the patterns of Chaos. Synchronicity shows up EVERYDAY at work. I work with orders from different people in different parts of the world and these patterns continue to emerge. If I were a genius-type I'd consider making a chart and graphing it. For example... we'll go several weeks with no problems with UPS 2-Day and 3-Day shipments and then on one day we'll have several UP2/UP3 orders from different people/different parts of the nation where they've ordered Back Ordered items and I have to call them all. Today two people ordered...one in the U.S. and one in Ireland and they both live in "North" something or other and they both listed their city as "N." whatever. Yeah its common - but two out of 80 orders on one day when it hasn't happened before? A couple of weeks ago three people listed their phone number as (000) 000-0000 on one day. Its weird!

Now the point of this is.... whole bunch of hurricanes in Florida, whole bunch of earthquakes in California and Mt. St. Helen's about to blow - that's a pattern!

Yesterday I asked the boss "Do we have any earthquake supplies here?" Nope! "But the shelves are bolted! Stuff will fall off but the shelves won't fall down." Then thirty minutes later the warehouse guys moved around some unbolted shelves..... I'm so doomed.

Tails

I have a "second boss" or a "weekend boss"...whichever you prefer. This other boss has a parrot which, over the weekend, bit me on the ankle!

So I just told Mario at work about my parrot bite...this led to her revealing that her monkey escaped and bit three people and was featured on the Spanish station's "Real TV" television show as the "Mad Monkey."

My story is now null.
