...When I Shelled Out Too Much Money for A Kodak Easy-Share Digital Camera and Started Taking Pictures of Things Right Away to Justify the Purchase
Hmm, thanks for that.
So I pushed with, "But what exactly does that mean?" Ug just looked at me as if I was asking him to piss into my mouth or escort me to the Renaissance Fair, "because when you open something... like a camera or a computer... you can use it and then bring it back." To that I said, "So it's to make up for the fact that the camera may or may not have been used?" and Ug said, "Yeah," so I said, "Does that mean the next person you sell that camera to gets 15% off and is told that it's re-stock?" Ug immediately dropped eye contact with me and starting looking anxiously around the store for a hero. Luckily for the man my boyfriend would politely refer to as a "morlock," I was too tired to stick him anymore with my poultry fork of reason. So I paid up, dumped my Fisher Price kiddie-cam, traded up to the Kodak, got rooked out of about thirty bucks, but left with my day's peace in tact. THE BEST PART is that all 5 of you who read my blog NOW get to see what my new camera can do...
The bookshelves in my living room, from the POV of me at my desk. If you click on the pic for a larger version and look closely, you can spot a Hitchcock Cameo.
The kitchen. Note that all the dishes are dirty with the exception of the martini glasses, which are always kept cleaned, stored, and ready to go.
I'm never goofing off for long before Z creeps out and lays the eyes of guilt upon my soul.
Remember I didn't give him a hard time. I queried a little, sure, but I kept my pateince and just left. I have to imagine this is not the first time he or his co-workers have been asked about this bogus fee. I believe that it's up to the employee him/herself to get the answers he/she needs to do the job right, which is the policy I have always followed at Book Soup. Not only did this guy not have the answers, he seemed less than interested in finding someone who could. But you are right - I have been on the flip side of this before and it never feels good. I think I was more commenting on his lack of interest in helping me and the policy in general, and what better place than my blog to do it.
As for the secrets and Frank, please let me know if he's spilling the beans, because NO NO NO he does not have the say so to do that, but I'll bring it up to the exec producers if it's a real problem. Let me know what you have heard him reveal, and THANKS JAMIE!!! Miss you on FTB.

Please keep sending your e-mails to Out.tv. There is only one reason why we aren't letting them play the next 7 episodes we have ready and that's because THEY HAVEN'T paid us. They're saying they'll have thier finances in order soon, and I'll certainly post here as soon as we get some money and send shows off. Thanks for hanging in there. Let me know if any "secrets" are revealed. You'll love the show. It's been lots of fun, and as soon as the epiosdes I produce air, I'll be able to talk all about the backstories. There's some funny stuff headed your way!!
