This just reminds me of the news story I heard a few weeks ago about a penguin getting knighted. How on earth would that happen?!? Seriously. It was hilarious to watch. Mr. Penguin was waddling his way over to Prince Charles I’m assuming, who tried to do the sword-tap thing but Mr Penguin then waddled away. I think it took a while to get it all said & done!

What’s cuter than one lop-eared rabbit?  TWO lop eared rabbits! Aww man.  I don’t know how this picture was taken, I can’t really imagine either bun being comfortable.  But hey, it’s what they were caught doing.  And… oh my god! The Aww factor!

Alright, a few weeks ago one of the girls at a company we work for asked me for a whole bunch of pricing.  So I got it all for her as soon as I could.  And she comes back asking about turn-around times, so I explain to her what would be faster due to printing on a stock/standard item vs. printing on a custom made item.  So she says that she’s convinced her customer to go with a stock item, and that we will receive the order and file the following Monday.

Nothing Monday.  Nothing Tuesday.  Wednesday I ring up to see what’s up, and get a note saying that they are just finalizing the items to be printed and once the files are ready I’ll get everything.  Nothing Thursday. Nothing Friday.

The next Monday comes along, and all of a sudden I have an e-mail from another person at the same company.  Telling me that he’s got a price that’s $300 less than what I quoted, and if I was interested in matching it.

Matching WHAT?  I was told a week ago that I already had this job in the bag!  I tell him this, obviously pissed off that someone would promise me something and have me wait just to be told at the last minute that someone else is suddenly under-cutting the price I provided.

I’m just grumpy.  I have no problem being told my pricing is high, or too high, or “you must be crazy” since these are the guidelines set by my boss, which makes it not me being crazy but her.  But… ARRGH.

We got the job in the end.  But I just am not thrilled with the idea the girl probably said “This is the best price I got!” And the guy then went out and said “Okay this is the best price we got.  Beat it so I can take it back to them!”

Bastardos.  All of them.

Okay, maybe they do.  This was absolutely too adorable to not post on the blog! I <3 bunnies of all sorts especially when they are being cute and adorable! Like this little guy!  Aww… I remember when Max used to slip and slide all over anything that wasn’t carpet or cement.  Boy he didn’t have a good time at that!

I think I’ve just about had it with customers.

This one person we deal with, he’s been a long-time customer, and for the most part he doesn’t get his stuff done anywhere else.  He knows this because he knows we’ve always given him the best prices we can give him, and we always deliver the best turnaround times he’s ever seen.

A part of this was due to my predecessor who was absolutely bat-shit insane bending over backwards for this guy, and now he’s grown to expect it.  And myself and my coworker have no problem to tell him to screw off, and that if he doesn’t like the best service we’re giving him, he’s more than welcome to leave, and find out that everywhere else will not at all meet his demands. (And they won’t, which is why he’s here to begin with)

But seriously, every single time he calls, and I don’t have his pricing within five minutes, his automatic response is always “What? Do you not want the work?”  Shut up already.  It’s an empty threat.  You know it.  I know it.  Stop saying it just to piss me off.

I know that my friend Brandon ended up having a cat (Anubus… or n00b or fattie) who was a stray found in cottage country (Which is where Brandon now lives surprisingly enough) who was being fed dog kibble because the family that tried to take care of the little stray only had dogs at the time.  But really… is pet food really that species specific?

Does anyone think it would be a good idea for me to get an Auto Loan With Bad Credit? I personally don’t think it would be a FANTASTIC idea, but at the same time, people with bad credit still need cars. And the way my credit is looking right now, I might need one of these as well. Actually, my coworker desperately needs one, if not two new vehicles, and I know her credit situation is worse than mine. It really sucks and I know she’s struggling without really a sense of credit. It sucks too since it’s her sister in law’s fault from what I’ve gathered. I really should let her know about some of the Auto Financing options that I have found, and maybe see if they don’t help her out more than what she’s been able to find so far.

Boy am I glad I’m not in New York City. Because I wouldn’t be able to afford a cardboard box according to these kittys! Seriously. How do people in New York afford the things they do?? It sounds absolutely insane. Srsly.

I’m going to need a source for Safe Payday Loans some time. Some time REALLY soon. Why you ask? Because my boss is being a jerk and deciding that cutting all the office staff’s hours by 30-40% is the solution to a slump in sales. Ignoring the fact that it’s hard to get MORE sales when there is no staff to look for it. Seeing as how my pay day will soon be extremely limited, I do believe it’s high time for a Payday Loan just to keep myself afloat. Which is silliness to the n’th degree, because… we should work more and work harder to get sales, not work less! But what do I know, I don’t own a company.

I think I have far too much fun on the cheezburgr site. The photos and especially the captions are too precious! I wish some of mine would become posted photos but sadly nothing has come out yet. I should keep taking pictures to try but I don’t even have animals. Boo.
