Wretched Wretail Wrealities

Like a hobbit...

So I have, what I lovingly like to call, a "Second Lunch." You see First Lunch is when I actually clock-out, don't get paid and eat. Second Lunch is when Mario goes to lunch and I'm alone in the office and free to goof off, surf the Internet and get paid.

It really bugs me when customers call me during Second Lunch.

New News

So as it turns out... Larry is actually not "Art & Copy" girl... she's actually just "Art & Misc. webmastering" girl. Brad is really the guy that writes the copy and he's decided to give me an opportunity at the menial creativity! This means I'll get the occasional chance to write the item descriptions!

Today was my first test as he gave me his guidelines and then said "go ahead." I thought I should do some drafts and submit for his approval but he just wanted me to go at it on the site! Then he left. For some reason this TERRIFIED ME!!! This really shouldn't be scary as I write descriptively rather well... but I dunno! I got all jittery and nervous and then panicked. I don't know anything about these products!!!

I opted for safety and wrote three descriptions for some disney patches. I know Disney!

But what am I gonna do about Family Guy and Speed Racer and Teen Titans.... I know OF them... I don't know ABOUT them. Give me the Edward Scissorhands stuff and I'll be fine... but what the hell is KAWS and his graffitti art??

Here's one of those reasons why you shouldn't return stuff just because you changed your mind:

A chick orders a bunch of Wonder Woman stuff from Alaska... her subtotal is 48.00 but her shipping is expensive ($26.) because she's ordered a bunch of large items and we can't ship UPS to Alaska so she had to pay U.S. mail prices. Her total was $74.50.

So.. she had a fight with whomever or whatever and decided "I'm not going to give this person these gifts anymore!" and returned the items to us. She paid another $14 for return shipping with her little note "Decided Not To Give As Gift" (I added the "").

So we refund her for the items... 48.00. So in the end she paid $40.00 to be huffy.

I'm sure there's a person dying for Wonder Woman stuff in Alaska..... EBAY lady!

Of course... she could've been dumped... and that's sad. Or worse! But we won't go there...

....

Now I'm depressed on mysterious (allegedly huffy) lady's behalf.
