Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Howdy Lodge. Last day in the office this week - hooray! Have post work plans tonight to meet my frieds for our annual Christmas drinks and gift exchange. We usually get small gifts for hottie bartender and the other guys. I did some online shopping Saturday as I was too lazy to get off my couch and shop. Everyone tells me how online shopping is the way to go. I never have a good experience, I don't find it easier at all. But, I thought I'd give it a whirl. I ordered gifts for my friends and those showed up Tuesday night. For the bartenders, I got a promoted Tweet from a company that was featured on Shark Tank and when you both the item, they donated the same to the homeless. Thought it was kind of cool, so I checked them out and ordered and paid for expedited shipping so I would get by yesterday. Get home and no items. Called the company, since there was no way to track the order online, and the Customer Happiness Representative (not lying) says "Yup, we have your order and it's ready to ship Thursday." Um no, I NEED it for Thursday. I asked for expedited shipping. He looks, notices that, then says "We've told them to take that down from the site because we can never honor that during the holidays." Okey dokey then. I told him I needed it for today so please cancel my order. They did. But this is why I don't shop online. I NEVER have a good experience.

Before we meet up there I have another department holiday shindig. This one is for the head of the new department we've been moved to with the re-org last week. It starts at 4 and is thankfully right across the street from where I need to be at 4:45-ish. So I will make an appearance and then politely excuse myself.

I don't think I've every had a problem shopping online. In my opinion it is 100x easier, faster, and less stressful than going to an actual store this time of year.

So I just found out there's going to be another announcement at 2pm. When they announced the re-org in our department when the head guy left, they split our department in two. We and one other team report up through the Corporate Admin/Chief of Staff's department, and everyone else went to HR. Which was kind of stupid, but they didn't ask me. So the head of Coporate HR now has WAY too many people in her group so there is going to be announcement about a re-structuring for that team. This might not be good. It shouldn't affect me and my team other than we work closely with them. We'll see. Just what you want to see right before Christmas.

On the 4th pound of butter in the last 3 days. Baking, baking. THey always say- if you are a Swede a recipe isn't a recipe unless it has a lb of butter in it. :D

So photo bucket - as a single word - is now banned on USCHO. I'm impressed? :rolleyes:

Wish I was in Houghton this weekend, but it was just not possible with being away 2 weeks just 1 week ago. We really need a weekend at home. Oh well, there will be other opportunities.
