Not Always Right These are little bits of retail genius. Lots of *headdesk* moments. Here’s one from this week: Not Thinking Outside The Box, Part 3 Retail | Charlottetown, PE, Canada (A customer places an unopened box on the counter.) Customer: “Can you please check to make sure this isn’t broken?” Me: “Sure thing!” (I [...]
I haven’t kept it a secret that I sort of love Buy.com, but I had another experience with them this week that cemented my love even further. I’ve been shopping around for a new FM Transmitter for the Jeep. Despite being almost 5 years old, my Belkin still works great, but the position of my [...]
^^^^ That was slipped into two email forwards I read today. It took me 11 seconds to open a new tab, type snopes.com, type a keyword from the forward and see the results that list it as false. Does that sound hard? Just as I thought people I know were finally starting to check the [...]
Speaking of older family on Facebook, this is pretty accurate when it comes to helping my family with their computers. Yes, I’m pretty good with a computer, but I certainly don’t know every program, nor have I encountered every possible problem. Found at xkcd.
Wait for the massive eyeroll….. okay now, I’ve had a huge influx of relatives adding me on Facebook in the last few weeks. I don’t so much mind having aunts and uncles, or other people I grew up seeing regularly adding me there, it doesn’t make me dance with joy or anything, but it doesn’t [...]
I keep forgetting to tell you guys about a nifty little site I found called Crap, I missed it! Primarily it’s for television shows– you go through and click on shows you want to set reminders for and it sends you one lump email first thing in the morning for any of your chosen shows [...]
I wish I could innocently say that I have no idea where all my free time has gone this week, but I do. I know exactly what I’ve spent literally hours upon hours doing, looking at the clock only to realize it’s 3 or 4 hours later than I genuinely thought it was. I’ve been [...]
I’ve been wanting to change my livejournal name for ages. faded_faerie just hasn’t felt right for a long time, but I’d never thought about it enough to settle on something I’d like that I would be much less likely to outgrow. In an act of semi-spontaneity today I bought a name change token and changed [...]
Oh wow I’m so happy to have everything back up and running! I did everything at once so there were a variety of things keeping my blogs down and it got extended due to some confusion and me getting assigned to probably the single unreliable customer service rep at my new host. I’ve been involved [...]
Alrighty, well I’m getting ready to switch hosts this week and I’m a little terrified. I know new hosting is a good idea, that’s not what I’m worried about, but the process of moving everything over has me worried about some things going wonky. Fortunately, the new host will move everything for me so I [...]
