Man, my dress for my Halloween costume is going to be delivered November 1 (the party is tomorrow). I ordered it on October 20 and selected expedited shipping, which is 1-3 business days. November 1 is *8* business days. So I left feedback saying I was very unhappy with their service based on the shipping time.
They emailed me right away and asked me to remove the negative review because "the delivery window is still open." Well, NO, that's my point -- the delivery window is nowhere near the expedited shipping window and you suck because of that.
I can't decide whether to email back and argue or just ignore it.
Ooh, that's some bullshit.
We're having a Halloween party at work on Monday, so I asked my crafty/costumey team member to see if she could come up with a team costume that would be easy and based on regular clothes. She just came back to me with The Price Is Right, which I think is hilarious. I get to be the host! She said Bob Barker, but I said I'm more of a Drew Carey. I just have to wear a jacket and carry a microphone.
For good things: human dresses up as dog's favorite toy. Amazeballs. [link]
I finally finished marking up my sample ballot so I can go to the polls. Thank you ever so much to the ultra right wing Florida Values people for telling me which judges to retain and which to kick to the curb. Saved me some time. Of course, they all always get retained, but at least I will have made myself heard.
I am almost through everything on my desk that needs to be done today. I may read Pitch fanfic for the rest of the day.
It's a dog miracle!
Maria, I hope you get your own, slightly calmer, dog miracle. And puppies are amazing but also can be frustrating as hell, it's nothing to beat yourself up over. They just need a STOP button, is that so much to ask?
I found phones! Also a knife. No utensils yet -- I had to eat breakfast this morning with my hands.
Someone burnt toast, so clearly I am no longer the only one here.
Are you sure? I am paranoid about hallucinating burning smells.
Many happy returns of the day, aurelia! Good luck with the Hamilton lottery and let me know if you want some cookware.
I would totally tell my boss that I need to leave at noon, but I would probably follow it with a "I hope that's ok" or something. Because I would be leaving regardless but I would also recognize that they could fire me or whatever. That's kind of our office culture, though.
I would argue, Tep. Their response sounds like they don't understand your actual complaint. The dress I ordered for Halloween also hasn't arrived. I didn't get special shipping because the regular shipping said it should arrive in 8-10 business days and I ordered on 10/16, so 10 business days would be today. And I suppose it could arrive today, but the order status on the web site is only Confirmed, not Shipped, so I doubt it. I'm just spoiled by most things getting to me way sooner than I expect, I think. You paid for expedited shipping, though, they should have honored that!
Oh, man, the happiness of that dog!
My department is doing a roller coaster group costume, which should be good. I'm not part of it because I am doing my witch thing (unless someone else drops out and they have an odd number, but they'd better tell me today if they need me), but I am helping build the cars. It's a bit more involved than they originally thought. But it's a Team Building Exercise, so.
Thank you, brenda. Happy belated birthday! My brain has been mush, and I forgot to say it day of.
Srsly, STOP button would be awesome.
