(nothing for me though... which sucks).  BUT I forgot that key thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOPEFULLY no one will type in an "h" address in the address bar and have hellagoodloot show up.  (I used to clean the history after every post but I got lazy.)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT in an attempt to hide the thing I changed the blog address to wretchedwretail.blogspot.com.

One of the things she'll be doing while at school is taking a swim class in the morning before work. Apparently she'll be changing her hours to start at 8am instead of 7:30. While I'm whole-heartedly behind her going back to school... I'm just concerned as to why Brad has never brought this time change up with me. Does he even know about it?? Or has Mario just asserted that this is how things will be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She asserted that she would be taking a two week vacation in June and then later admitted that Brad didn't want her to do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said, "Oh. Because I was thinking of asking Brad if he'd get a temp for the time you're gone. Two weeks of doing your job and mine is a bit too much for me to handle on my own."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario said, "Well I won't be gone for two weeks... just several couples of days all in a row."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-111264857404965521?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/111264857404965521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=111264857404965521' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/111264857404965521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/111264857404965521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/04/too-much-to-tell.html' title='Too much to tell!'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-111264806861437555</id><published>2005-04-04T13:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-04T13:55:00.720-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Holdin' it in!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This happened Friday but I didn't want to post then and ruin the whole (incredibly successful!!)

Mario, being a heterosexual married woman, did not understand the sticker's reference and Larry had explained it to her as being from a movie.  Mario had promptly forgotten about it but recalled it yesterday because she'd just seen the movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there's only two groups of people that the sticker really means anything to and who might point it out: A) Menopausal women and B) lesbians&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since Larry is only 30 -  she falls into group B!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW some of you readers might now be thinking that if you continue to read this blog you might eventually fall upon some hot lesbian romance story but NO!

I decided then that I should call her Cunt-Whore because 1) It was appropriately mean enough for the cunt-whore she is!;  2) It makes me giggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO - Henceforth - she shall be known as C.W. when she's a Cunt-Whore and simply Mario when she's not so bad.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-111177879384629275?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/111177879384629275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=111177879384629275' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/111177879384629275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/111177879384629275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/03/mario-isms.html' title='Mario-isms'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-111117458379556687</id><published>2005-03-18T11:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-18T11:36:23.796-08:00</updated><title type='text'>grrrrrrrrrrr</title><content type='html'>ihateherihateherihateherihateherihateherihateherihateherihateherihateherihateherihateher&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-111117458379556687?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/111117458379556687/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=111117458379556687' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/111117458379556687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/111117458379556687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/03/grrrrrrrrrrr.html' title='grrrrrrrrrrr'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110997223336134207</id><published>2005-03-04T13:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-04T13:37:13.363-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CQoftheD</title><content type='html'>It's been a bit so here ya go:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Q: How did you hear about us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;A:  Ears&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gift Message:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"&gt;It broke, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"&gt;Thing 1 and Thing 2,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"&gt;Now, they're new&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND finally -

However, Internet Relay Call is also great for throaty-voiced, Nigerian accented old dudes that want to call me up and place an order under the name of Susan Smith. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's just not bother wasting my time people... I am the Fraud Slayer after all!  The IRC call takes like 30-40 minutes only for you to try and order a quantity of Star Wars sports jerseys and then for me to burst your bubble by telling you I only have one and that you ain't getting them anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think our sports jerseys in 2x size attract the fraud-scalper-types.  A friend of mine worked at a store where they discontinued selling the 40 oz beers because the because the neighborhood started gathering a bad "element."

But then thought, "Why the hell?  That's her job - always has been." So I added, "Just remind me!" to make it clear that she'd asked me to do something that was unfamiliar because it wasn't my job. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her response?   "Write yourself a note."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she added, "Because I don't just sit here doing nothing and I didn't know you'd left yesterday." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh I'm sure it was a big shocker... everybody had clocked out and the lights were off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dumb bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(And no - there is no sexual tension here!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110917859147809068?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110917859147809068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110917859147809068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110917859147809068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110917859147809068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/02/reinvention.html' title='ReinVENTion'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110901471392875834</id><published>2005-02-21T11:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-21T11:38:33.930-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ah hah!</title><content type='html'>I just wanted to make this point - today Mario is out so I have to do the whole order proof-charge-cancel process by myself AND there were a couple of 2010 expiration date orders in the batch.

Back in my early days here Mario would hand me a credit card that did not process and say "Please e-mail the customer about this expiration date" and I would. I figured she did this because she A) was processing and couldn't and/or B) didn't know how to phrase it in good English. I eventually asked Brad to compose a standard "Your expiration date is stupid" e-mail which he did. After this Mario continued to hand me these orders and I thought "maybe she doesn't read her memos and doesn't know this e-mail exists now" so I brought it up one day. Mario snippily replied "Well I just thought you could help me out. But if you don't think you can help me than that is fine! I just figured since I used to do your job and &lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt; could spot them then you could too. But I'll just do it!" To which I replied somewhere along the lines of "Its a credit card issue. How am I supposed to know it doesn't work until you charge?" So long story short... after this I started highlighting the credit card expiration dates above 2010 before I gave them to her.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK... now reenactment (Keep in mind I was on the phone during this argument):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario:  Did you stop sending the customers the expiration date e-mail?&lt;br /&gt;Me:  I haven't had any.&lt;br /&gt;Mario:  But you highlighted this one. &lt;she&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me:  That one didn't say expired.&lt;br /&gt;Mario:  The system doesn't recognize anything above 2010.&lt;br /&gt;Me:  In my experience, if the credit card expiration date is too far in the future then it shows in the system as expired.  That one didn't say expired so I moved it forward to you.&lt;br /&gt;Mario:  Well experience isn't always the best judgment!  The system doesn't recognize anything from 2010 and up!&lt;br /&gt;Me:  Well since it doesn't say that its expired I don't know that it doesn't work until you charge it. &lt;br /&gt;Mario: Well they all come up as declined!&lt;br /&gt;Me:  Well this is the first time you've said anything!  How was I supposed to know??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;mario&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point we stopped talking and said nothing to each other for the rest of the day.  Mind you - we'd already been minimimally speaking for the whole week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night I decided to be the better person and so when I came in the next day I said, "Mario, what, again, are the expiration dates that I should send the Expiration Date e-mail to?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To which Mario replied sweetly, "Oh don't worry about it.  I'll just take care of them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did she give up being a bitch for Lent?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110798549572850296?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110798549572850296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110798549572850296' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110798549572850296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110798549572850296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/02/ahhgeez.html' title='Ahhgeez'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110816514711756640</id><published>2005-02-11T15:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-11T15:39:07.116-08:00</updated><title type='text'>musiiiiiick</title><content type='html'>Mario just said...

quality streaming music with no DJ's.  Unfortunately, it too has a format which it seems to get stuck on for at least a month... so I hear the same things OVER and OVER and OVER again day after day and several times a day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario (who has been the designated DJ for the past couple of months since my speakers are unplugged so that I may use the plug for my personal heater... its cold in the warehouse) constantly has it on "Top Hits" or some crap.  Whenever it fails (which is usually once a day) or during my lunch she'll switch to (what I assume is) Spanish language Top Hits.  This used to be novel but now its just annoying.

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.

Her total was $74.50.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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" &lt;huff&gt;  (I added the "&lt;huff&gt;").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we refund her for the items... 48.00.

Danny was napping on the couch which left me with Rollo and Thomas.  They were apparently having their usual heated discussion but since I don't know sign... I just always think they're talking about me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomas makes about as much effort as I do at communicating with me so we usually just use the smile and nod approach to our day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rollo, on the other hand, likes to talk.  There was a news story on today (we watch the news mostly because it has the rolling tagline for the guys to read because the TV doesn't have closed captioning) about terrorist threats in Boston.  Rollo was trying to tell me something about it.... he was making exploding hand gestures... then he finally spelled out B...U...S....S...  I was utterly lost so he did it again... B....U....S....S... at which point I realized it was H not S... it was BUSH.  Rollo hates Bush!!!  He then shook his head and said some other things which I took to mean "Stupid president.  This wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for him!"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's a cool deaf guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110634365818812198?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110634365818812198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110634365818812198' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110634365818812198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110634365818812198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/01/buss.html' title='B...U...S....S?'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110634311972447504</id><published>2005-01-21T13:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-21T13:31:59.723-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Anal Retentive</title><content type='html'>So I finally snapped at Mario today... didn't know it was going to happen until it flew out of my mouth but it did!  Now we sit in silence and I don't know if its because of that or what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A customer's order got lost in shipping (as it occasionally does with International shipments) and it had been over a month so it was time to re-send his package.  I set up the new shipment to go to the Pick List (the list which gets handed to the warehouse guys so they know what inventory to pick off the shelf) and to invoice at which point it falls into Mario's hands.  (Its her job to print the lists, packing slips and pick tickets (which is a list of what goes in each box.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when Mario reaches this Norwegian guy's order she stops it, looks at me and says "Did you verify this guys address?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This pisses me off for 2 reasons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A)  Why the hell do you need to even ask me stupid questions like that?  Do you think I can't do my job??  Do you think you have to friggin' babysit everything I do?  You screw shit up all the time but I'm too nice of a person to say anything to you ... I just fix it and move on.  I don't start asking you if you've done it right each time!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) I forgot to verify the guy's address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I respond, nicely and with my normal dose of humility (I don't know why I dose it up with humility... its apparently making Mario think she can boss me), "Oh, no.  I didn't."  To which she responds, "So we're just gonna send this to the same address again without knowing if its correct??"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At which point I snapped and retorted, "Then put it on hold Mario!" (with heavy underlying "You stupid dumbass bitch" tone).   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then had to follow it up with some sort of 'I'm not really being serious' attempt so I said, with a faux giggle, "Don't be silly!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Mario is constipated again.  She gets moody when she's constipated.  She'll be moody for a few days and then tell me on the fourth day about how she hasn't pooped in a few days.  Very early in our co-worker relationship she asked me to "Feel how stiff my stomach is!"  That was really crossing a line... I refused to touch her hardened intestines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110634311972447504?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110634311972447504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110634311972447504' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110634311972447504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110634311972447504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2005/01/anal-retentive.html' title='Anal Retentive'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110626489140699856</id><published>2005-01-20T15:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-20T15:48:11.406-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Lunch</title><content type='html'>Do you ever get that sudden ATTACK hunger that seems to come from nowhere?

This way we'll process your order on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday (respectively) and ship on the same day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you order on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday we will process all of those orders on Monday and since there are so many orders... there might be some back-up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you order on a Thursday, your order will process and ship on Friday but then there is weekend delivery schedules that will back up your package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Really re-think a return.  If you're returning something because you didn't like it or it was the wrong size and you don't want an exchange... you're going to be paying for your original shipping AND your return shipping.  We shipped it... therefore we don't refund you for that.  Sometimes people pay more in the shipping and return shipping then the money they are getting back for the item.  Save some time and effort (and money) and give it to someone else who'll like it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or there is always eBay - someone else will pay you for your shipping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You poor people who have to return the gifts that recipients didn't like or didn't fit... you're paying for the shipping and getting no gift in return!  :(&lt;div

That was fun...they have a fabulous looking site but are probably just two or three people on the order end too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember being surprised when I started here... "you mean people actually look at all the orders?"  Let that be a lesson to you - yes - we look at ALL the orders.  So when you do something rediculous like use a fake gift certificate to buy 100 of the same $100 statues - its not just a computer looking at your order.  Would you sell 100 statues to someone with a gift certificate value of $2.?  Yeah - we're the fraud squad and we KNOW that Nigeria is not in Florida and Indonesia is not in Australia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(And we also know when you're sending kinky after-nookie presents with suggestive gift messages.)

Now we've had about 200 orders from that ad ... and at least half of them come in, buy the advertised item and check out.  Why?  We have lots of other fun things.  Browsing, in fact, might save you money - you can do a bunch of shopping in one place and then only pay one shipping charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110157557850208201?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110157557850208201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110157557850208201' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110157557850208201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110157557850208201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2004/11/cqofthed_27.html' title='CQoftheD'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110157308193135869</id><published>2004-11-27T08:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-27T08:31:21.933-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Coke</title><content type='html'>Today Mario and I are the only ones in the office working our holiday overtime and we've spent part of the morning discussing Coca-Cola and the many variations thereof - I think our relationship is on the road to recovery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry's still a bitch though....though sometimes she smiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110157308193135869?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110157308193135869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110157308193135869' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110157308193135869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110157308193135869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2004/11/new-coke.html' title='New Coke'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110149727615133075</id><published>2004-11-26T11:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-26T11:27:56.150-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sprouts of loathing</title><content type='html'>Mario has been evil this week... using the opportunties of absentee bosses and little office elfs that treat her like a cool boss and speak only Spanish to her... to talk down to me and add new tasks to my order proofing.  Here's the thing though - she's not my boss.  She's not a supervisor.  She was offered a supervisor position and she turned it down.  Until this month I've been deferring to experience because she's been here a few months longer than me but I'm pretty confident now.  I gave her an inch by "deferring to her experience" a couple of times with the new girls present but now every time I tell them to do something a certain way - she'll tell them that's wrong.  Actually she doesn't know what's wrong or right - she only knows the way that she's been doing it - which is the way she's done it "so she won't get in trouble if she does it wrong" or so she "won't have to worry about it later."  She actually has no concern for the customers - just concern about what she can cancel or not do without the bosses' noticing.  That's my observation anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave her the benefit of the doubt on Monday since she'd missed half the day due to paying a ticket.  I gave her the benefit of the doubt on Tuesday since her son had been sick all night.  She loosened up a bit on Wednesday but she's still been bitchy to me and we're currently "not speaking" (in an unstated agreement).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to think.... when we first started becoming friendly I thought, "How is it that people can end up hating their co-workers?  I can't imagine hating Mario."  Hatred is currently building within me.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110149727615133075?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110149727615133075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110149727615133075' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110149727615133075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110149727615133075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2004/11/sprouts-of-loathing.html' title='Sprouts of loathing'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110149419522197172</id><published>2004-11-24T10:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-26T10:36:35.223-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CQoftheD</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;Q:  How did you hear about us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;A:  Google!

Most of my week consisted of "Hello how can I help you? .... No....Not yet....No we don't know if they'll come in time for Halloween....No they may not come at all....are you on our Notification list?.....OK good luck!" It later evolved into "Hello...NO...goodbye."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I also made a new friend...an older guy who called to chat for an hour or so about how much he and Sailor Mercury were alike. ("She likes astronomy...I'm an astronomy teacher....") He bought a Teen Titans Starfire doll.

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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 say that it means I'm great because he came in to tell us that he'd been holding off doing this because the girl who had my job last rubbed him the wrong way - he didn't want to give her any freebies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The t-shirts were actually shirts that had some sort of unsellable defect. We got in line by seniority (I was second to last) and we each picked a shirt and then went through again and again until all the shirts were gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today I am proudly wearing my hem-defective Tomb Raider shirt!

Today it looks like some sort of superhero logo - greenish circle in the middle (being my pupil and stuff) with a thick red line going straight across the middle. It looked kind of like &lt;a href="http://www.pcmserver.nl/zomergidsen/materiaal/cirkel/logo%20circle.jpg"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; (not really but its the closest I could find after scouring throug hundreds of "circle logo" results on Google Images).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I was finally inducted into the company and given my own company t-shirt!

I think she hung up satisfied and happy...but I was going to kill something. (Oh and she was the mother of somebody who'd already called but the son hadn't done an effective job at getting me to give him what he wanted. Truth is he would've gotten what he wanted anyway but I hadn't dealt with a "refund/exchange" yet and was just basically bullshitting through the call. That'll teach me!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's just blame it all on UPS...that makes me happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) So Landmark Education has this teaching that you get what you are a clearing for. In other words, if you expect people to treat you badly, people will treat you badly. So yesterday I got that my boss is a clearing for silence. He's deaf in one ear and he's just now hired his second deaf employee. I work in a friggin' warehouse office... there should be cussin' guys and hip hop (or something). Instead its quiet..... of course the two deaf guys could be cussing - I don't understand the hand gestures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) The girl who works with me in the office (we'll call her Mario) is originally from a South American country. She speaks English well but she does have a bit of an accent as does the warehouse "captain." So I can't communicate with the deaf guys and not the South Americans...this leaves Larry....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But anyway - Mario and I spend all day chatting but sometimes she just doesn't "get" what I'm saying. Sample conversation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erin: What do you think a 14 year old girl who watches Monty Python would like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mario: Obnoxious&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;... I stared at her in puzzlement.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110153940629518967?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110153940629518967/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110153940629518967' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110153940629518967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110153940629518967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2004/09/yeah-right.html' title='Yeah right!'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110153876875415133</id><published>2004-09-03T10:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-11-26T22:59:28.753-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CQoftheDay</title><content type='html'>Gift message:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#99ff99;"&gt;Thank you for saying nice things about me! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#99ff99;"&gt;Now, death awaits you with sharp pointy teeth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Now that's funny in and of itself but what's funnier is that this is being sent to a psychiatrist!

Once upon a time she did my job but now she's website photo and copy writing girl. She gets her own section of the warehouse for photographing so we only see her maybe four times a day when she's clocking in/out (yes I work with a timeclock). She also comes in to our office on occasion to directly speak to the girl who works next to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first I thought - OK she hates me. But that's obviously irrational so I revamped it to 'OK she just needs to warm up to people like I do.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I think we're sorta feeling each other out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day she came in and told us (while looking at the other girl) "You need to buy a lottery ticket." Then, in typical Erin fashion, I looked blankly at my computer screen and the other girl kinda snickered. So, feeling rejected, Larry left. I felt bad about this silence...but I've still been avoiding her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She also kinda intimidates me in this 'cool but silent' way. I try not to go down aisles in the warehouse where she can see me for fear she'll see me not able to reach something and looking like an idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But like I said... we're feeling each other out. The other day I asked her, "So did you buy that lottery ticket?" And she said she had but her friends had "laughed at her" just like we did. Ah hah! So she thought I laughed at her! I corrected her with, "Hey I would have done it if I had a dollar!" Then I told her I'd split a ticket with her (if she won I'd give her 50 cents).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week she made contact with me by saying, "Aren't you hot in that?" referring to my sweater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Progress! &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9295540-110153869645924998?l=hellagoodloot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/feeds/110153869645924998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9295540&amp;postID=110153869645924998' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110153869645924998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9295540/posts/default/110153869645924998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hellagoodloot.blogspot.com/2004/09/larry.html' title='Larry'/><author><name>Erin</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iMVI84kqSPI/SR1ntxU9dfI/AAAAAAAABeM/aDsDUFuV_j0/S220/erinlillis.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295540.post-110153864790623076</id><published>2004-09-02T10:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-11-26T22:57:27.906-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tuesday/Wednesday</title><content type='html'>Customer Quote/Gift Message from Tuesday:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;I like the little tacos.
