amezriAlmost every customer was a complete jerk today. Some woman called three times, each time giving me a different ISBN number for a book. Each time, we didn't have the book or it was out of stock. Then she would ask me if it was the right book. I would calmly tell her it was the book she gave me the ISBN number for, so yes, it would be the book. She would then try to confirm the author and edition. When I told her there was no edition information in the computer, she asked me again what edition it was. [face palm] ::reaches through phone and strangles her:: Ohmygoddon'tevercallback.Ever. People were just generally terse and rude. Ugh. Good thing I only worked 4 hours today. *twitch*
Picked up the Underworld novelization and Marvel Minimates. Ah... I know, I know. But I have the money now to faff around with, so just let me faff around, okay? Anyway, I went to Target and returned the $8 gloves because they really aren't helpful and the look ugly.
Now begins me rant about internet squatters and how completely assanine they are. Dude has lin.net registered and hasn't done anything with it. So I emailed him and asked if he would sell it to me. This is the reply:
I am more than willing to sell the domain to you at 1.5 million US dollar. If you are interested.
Hah. Yeah right. I'll give you $20 and make you a dorky website, you asshat. My reply:
I can give you $50. If not, good luck trying to get someone to pay the price you are asking.
To further illustrate the decline of our civilization, there's an auction on eBay for a "New Folder for Windows XP Professional" - that's right someone is selling a new folder for Windows. The winning bid was $80,000,100.00 US. Yeah. I thought that too.
News: "A lot of people had sympathy for Americans around the time of 9/11, but that's changed," said Cathy Hearn, 31, a flight attendant from South Africa, expressing a view commonly heard in many countries.
