WOOOOOOT

Going to see Flight Of The Concords in April! OMG OMG OMG I'm so excited!!

I am constantly amused by customers

I had a customer contact be through our website. She lives in Denver and had a friend buy her three shirts at the end of LAST SUMMER. She hung on to them for a few months thinking her friend might bring them back, and then she mailed them back to us. But she did so after we moved, so it was sent back to her. She tells me this long story about how she has now spent $12 in shipping and still has three shirts she can't wear, bla bla bla.

So I ask her if she spoke to someone at the store before she sent back the items and her response was, "I can’t remember……….." Which to me, means 'No'. She held onto these items for over 6 months, probably forgot she had them, and then tried sending them back when she found them.

So I sent her a message back basically saying that our return policy is clearly stated on our website (and on our receipts, which she had because she said she sent it along with the shirts) and she is well past the return period. So there isn't anything we can do for her anymore. Or, you know, there isn't anything we are willing to do for her. Why in the hell does she think that I'm going to take back shirts she has had for over six months? It is like people just don't understand how stuff works. Also, I'm highly amused by the fact that she tried making me feel bad that she spent $12 in shipping to send it back, when she never should have in the first place.

Sniffles

I've been fighting a cold all winter and it finally hit me. Ugh.

Sicky-Poo

My dad is in the hospital. I know he is going to be alright, but it is always nerve wracking. He has an infection and had to be taken to the ER last night in an ambulance because he couldn't get up. His fever was up to 103 when he got to the hospital, but when Mike and I were there this afternoon, it was back to normal. Which meant my dad got a little ornery because he wanted to go home, but the doctors wanted him to stay. They think he got an infection at the catheter site where he gets dialysis. So they went in after we left to take it out. They will let that heal for a day and then put in a new one on Friday.
I'm so glad Mike is on vacation so he could come with me. We spent the entire day together running around to my parents house to pick up stuff for my dad, and then to the hospital, and then to my store to pick up the printer and a few other things and then to Sam's Club, and back to my store to pick up my phone I left there by accident, and then home. Oh but then we realized we had to go to Best Buy for a few things so out we went again. In the snow. Today was by no means a pleasant day. But having Mike along with me made it so much better.

I'm gonna be a star

Guess who might be on TV?

Keith told me something last night about our band being asked to play on a Channel 11 show.

Upside? They approached us about it. Downside? Apparently the studio isn't big enough for a drum set.

As I get more details I'll share em.

So Cute!

I was playing monkey in the middle with my niece and nephew tonight. I was in the middle and every time I "missed" the ball, Aliza would put her arms around me, pet my arm, look at me with a heart breakingly cute/sad face and say, "I'm sorry you did not get the ball, monkey." Every time. She is so cute I can hardly stand it.

Witness This

I just had two jehovah's witnesses knock on my door. I've never had that happen before and I was totally thrown off. I thanked them for their time and told them I wasn't interested. I felt like an ass though because as soon as I opened the door and saw them I couldn't stop thinking about the movie Orgasmo, and was holding back laughter.
After I said I wasn't interested they asked if they could offer me any other services. Which, I'm a little confused on. I wanted to ask what they meant, but didn't really want to encourage them to talk more.
