People…

This evening I ran into work, currently where I am writing this to be exact, and upon checking my email I got this email from a customer somewhere in New Your state. What I find quite funny about this is that he has confused two of our different product lines.

From the first email:

My inquiry is per your Alaskan Bear Treats. When I first started buying this product, it was because it was free of filler ingredients that my dog doesn’t need to be injesting: lecithin to be exact. Now your treats are packed full of lecithin. It’s obvious that you want to stretch your salmon supply to go further. Unfortunately, it’s more cost effective for you and you get more product and more money. But what burns me up more than the fact that you’ve ruined a good product is the fact that we have to pay the old price still. Same money, less salmon, more filler. You’ve gone the route of our wonderful transit system here in New York. Less service, more fees.P.S. What EXACTLY is salmon MEAL?

No longer a fan.

The Second:

Oh, and also, you need to change the pictures on your web site. The treats don’t look that delicious any longer. (All smashed flat and processed looking) That’s false advertizing, isn’t it?

Still no longer a fan.

I wrote him a nice email back explaining the new treats hes talking about are the “Home-Style” and that we currently only have our old treats on our website, http://norpacfish.com. Ok enough ranting, time to go home.

Sounds like a case of the Monday’s

The title of this will make since if you have ever seen the movie Office
Space. That movie is great, but then again itā..s my kind of humor.
Yesterday was great because I just sad around and went to a movie with a
friend. It was the first time all weekend plans worked out. Everything
in Salem went great, but that was preplanned. Moving right along…

Today wasn’t a bad Monday compared to some. I was able to stay awake for
all classes. That is a nice change. For a while there that was quite the
effort. Work was good; I was able to get a lot of stuff check off my
list of things to do. Anyway I have a business law test I need to go
study for.

A long day

Today is what I would call a full and rich day. I got up at 6:45 and got
out of the house by 7:45. Then I was on the road to Salem. I made good
time on the way down, I didnā..t speed too bad. Well I guess if 15-20
over isnā..t that bad. I guess a radar detector and police scanner are
priceless. I met my dad in Vancouver, and he gave me the stuff to take
down there to a guy. I got to Salem got a tour of my friends shop. We
went and got coffee walked around and had a fun day. It was tons of fun.
I headed home and made good time. It was kind of like how I came down.
None the less it was a very nice drive and traffic wasn’t bad at all. I
am really tired so bedtime is coming soon.

Bla

Today was just a bla day. Not sure why, well I guess I am but I really
donā..t want to go there with details. Basically had plans to do
something after I got done with school and couldnā..t get a hold of the
person so that went out the window. I tried calling some other people
who were in town for the weekend, which failed to. So basically in a nut
shell I spent my night driving around, went and got dinner because my
parents went to dinner with some friends. Drove around a bit more, went
to the theatre and talked to some friends and found out that a lot of
interesting stuff has happened down there in the past two weeks. Then I
need to find some other people to talk to them about a job. Then drove
around a bit more, got gas and came home. If thatā..s not excitement
what is.

FYIā.¦Iā..m not exactly in the best of moods right now so yeahā.¦

Anyway tomorrow I have to get up early, and meet a friend in Salem.
Thatā..s going to be a fun drive. And I also have to deliver some
product to a fish market down there to. Tomorrow is going to be a long
day to say the least.

Ok I have vented enough more to come, but hopefully in a slightly better
mood.

Bored

Today was boring. I went to class and then to work. I guess so far the
most exiting thing I have done so far today was go to the bank. Talk
about entertaining. Iā..m off to attempt to find something to do. Its
six, Iā..m bored off my ass, and its Friday night. This sucks!

Update 1-25-05

I have made updates on the blog this evening by adding content to the
about and contact area. Stay tuned for more.

Story Time…

Well today was quite the day. Left the house at 7:30 for class. Went to class and as I said no sleepy time. :) And then I came to work posted real quick while I was printing some stuff off to take to the meeting down in Oregon. So I drove down and dad drove back. So it wasn’t too
bad. Then I went to a friend of my mom’s house and fixed their computer. So it was quite that day. Then went to dinner with Dad, took grandma her pills for the night, and finally was able to come home. That was at 8:45. I think that’s what a person could call a full and rich
day!

Moving right along its story time…

So about a week ago a friend of mine was saying that she was thinking about getting into online dating. [EDIT: We were discussing the idea of…] Well I was being a smart ass at the time and was like match.com, don’t you listen to the radio? So I think it was yesterday she was like hey I met this guy and I have been talking to him all day long. Always asking was like do you have a pic of this dude. So she sends me a link and it was to a match.com profile. So that was my laugh for the day. Probably don’t find it funny but I guess you could call it an inside joke.

Story two…

So another friend sends me a message over MSN to say she dropped her phone and its dead. So tonight she tells me she didn’t exactly drop it but it fell into toilet. So yeah I had fun pitching her tons of crap over that.

Thanks for listening story time has migrated into nap time.

Off to the Races

Well I get to drive to Oregon today to look at label proofs for the new labels at work. Won’t this be fun? I just felt like telling everyone that just for the fun of it. Also I did not sleep in any classes today so that made me happy.

The week isn’t looking good…

I think the subject says it all. Well I went to school this morning and was all exited Amy brought me COFFEE from Starbucks I was so uber exited. So therefore during business law I was shacking from the caffeine, but in my life this is very very normal. Moving right along in the morning I was happy because I didn’t fall asleep in any of my classes. This has been a problem for the past week because of lack of sleep [Looks at time and thinks maybe I should go to bed and get sleep, naa!].

Well work today just never ended, seriously! I get there at 11:30. Ok on time. I made up samples and got them mailed out. Then I continued work on the UPC thingy. Was that an event and two thirds let me tell you. Well work ended, went to Staples for paperclips. Came back to work. Went home for a snack. Came back to work, and continued adding products to the UPC list. Went home for dinner, came back and finished. I think I got home where around nine this evening. I guess it has been a full and rich day.

Time to hit the sack.

Weekend! Yeah!

Its the weekend its so great i made it through the week. you might
notice on this post i am just typing and not caring about how it looks
sorry for that i just dont feel like really typing nice not sure why but
idk. Its easier to type nice now that i realize it but again like i say
i really dont care. hee hee i love these moods. Well last nite being
friday night even though right now its sunday morning. i just hung out
with some friends from here and centralia. talked in the
safeway/starbucks parking lot.

Tonight I just drove around, and ill finish this story later, i am not
thinking right now so ill finish tomorrow when i get back from fixing
someone computer.

Images…

Well I was going to bed, and I promise I am but I was waiting for a
friend to finish something. So it turned out to be a great time for me
to play with images and stuff. So here are some funny images as a test.

Pictures don’t work, they are from the Moveable Type Days…

Ok, I am done with picture fun.

Random is Good…

Well I might get to bed somewhat at a normal time today. What an idea. I
swear I havenā..t been able to go to bed before it goes back to single
numbers in what seems like forever but I think it was Thursday! Kind of
sad that I have been running on fumes for a week now. Bawls are the best
drink ever for the record. I got a lot of work done tonight on the
Chehalis School District site and that is such a good feeling. I should
have it very close to finished in another week. Please wish me luck
because they tend to keep adding stuff and therefore directly adding
more time onto the time to finish the site. With another possible job
coming close I really need to hurry.

In other news I really need to go to Pullman once that site is done to
just get out of town for a weekend. It will be nice to see my brother
and cousin. Wishing that weekend would come sooner than itā..s looking.
In other random news I got a phone call tonight and it was a friend that
was like hey can you drive me to Portland tonight? I was like WHAT?! He
offered to fill my tank up and stuff but I just didn’t have time. So I
guess next time I get an offer like that I will do it because random is
good. Well I am sure there is a ton more stuff to write but I am getting
tired and sleep is looking really really good right now.

Another Day…

I guess the title says it all, went to bed at 1 or possibly later I
honestly can’t remember when I went to bed this morning. Got up at 6:30
for class. Class was boring but the time went by fast. I got a lot done
at work though so that was good. Last night I FINALLY
got the picture gallery thingy I wrote to work. Tonight I will be adding
it around the site and making it work. Iā..m just so exited! I am
pleased with how it turned out, when it is on the site I will post links
from here. At work (Nor Pac Fish) we are getting new labels designed and
stuff so I worked on the UPC thingy all afternoon and got that finished.
So that Tuesday when I go down there I can give that information to them
so they can add to the labels. Anyway enough ranting, I am going to go
eat dinner.

I know that was random, but thatā..s my mood…

Late Nights Suck!

Well it is way too late to be coding. Itā..s been that way sense about 7
when I started. FYI its 12:09 right now. Why does everything tend to
happen at once? I have homework and my normal job. But then I need to
get my other job finished (www.chehalis.k12.wa.us) and then get the
quote done for another person that wants a site built. And somewhere
between all that I want to get this site finished and updated. So yeah
right now my life is just really busy. And sleep is something that I am
just having a huge shortage of. Thatā..s my work rant. Anyway off to bed
after i check w00t for something good to spend money on.
