Bad Day

[hoogie76]

I was hesistant to whine a little bit because I know that my trivial crap doesn't compare to what some of you folks have going on but thought I'd share anyway.

Seems that the day before your supposed to do something, everything goes bad. Tomorrow we leave for Vegas (i know, wah wah wah) but you still want to leave with a clean slate.

So got in this morning and...

the ticket system was down. (hosted elsewhere but had run out of disk space)

Primary phone was supposed to be back today, but it's not.

Internet went down at about 8:00 am so shipping has been slow today.

Secondary phone (phone with internet), all static and garbled.

Cell phone charger broke so no cell phone.

Valued employee gave her notice today

But there is some brightness in all the bleak that the day was:

Ticket system is back
Internet is back partly, still intermittent but usable.
(866) 521-7653 works as a contact number until our (704) 624-8551 is ported back.
2nd line is being worked on.
and we have a job opening for sales, reception, tech support person at our Cornelius office
Plus, I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow

Hang in there Hoog. We appreciate your dedication. Be careful not to bruise your liver in Vegas. Then again that's probably why you're going.

Some days it just doesn't pay to chew through the ropes, Hoogie! I don't consider it whining when your day truly does stink. Hope everything now goes smooth as y'all take off for Vegas. You'll get to meet lots of folks, get a bunch of new customers, and the opportunity to make up for the bad day. Good luck and have fun, 'cause you certainly have some coming.

Gunna make another order tomorrow night.

Glad you're getting the mess cleared up hoog. Too bad we live way over on the west coast, I'd be all over that job opening.
Have a good one at Vegas.

Sorry to hear, we all have them. I really hope your orders didn't get to far-behind. I just introduced this guy to vaping on Friday and he vaping all weekend on stuff that I let him borrow. He has been off analogs since I gave him the stuff. He put in an order for some stuff this past weekend. I told him he should get his stuff by Friday ( this is normally when I get orders that I place on the weekend). The problem is he is going TDY next monday. And I don't have enough juice to let him borrow for the week that he is gone. That is unless the order that I put in last night doesnt show up when it should( Saturday). I do not blame you for this hoogie. I am just saying that there is the potential that 2 of us here in Alaska might have a bad day( or week) also. Atleast we know about it now and can try to plan for it, so thanks for that. I have tons(3 gallons- yes, you read that right) of vg that I could cut juice down with to make it last if needs be.

Don't tell us Simone is leaving! She was my favorite!

 

[hoogie76]

Thanks guys, in hind sight it wasn't all that bad. We did manage to get out most of our orders. Simone was great but she left about 3 months ago as her hubby got a job transfer to NJ.

Plenty of people left to fill orders and make mods so we should be all caught up today with shipping..

I was grateful to see that my order finally shipped out today. It took a little longer than usual but I do understand that things can get crazy sometimes. Have a great journey to sin city!
