A glass candle, in a thin flimsy shelf display box, shipped in a plastic bag. WTF did they think was going to happen?!?

I hope you got free pizza out of it at least.

Where he works is posh. They wouldn't have pizza at lunch unless it had goat cheese and truffles on it.

Quill Corporation! Never again will I deal with these morons when ordering business supplies. Very close to being the most rude and incompetent group of people I have dealt with in quite some time.

When you’ve loaded a moving trailer with household goods for your 8th or 9th round trip drive from a place you hate living in to a place you really want to be, then your trip is hampered by a winter storm for a couple days. During those couple days you get a sinus infection that delays your trip even more AND YOU REALLY JUST WANT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!

This is grinding my gears. 👍👍

well...our head office is posh but we are attached to the production facility so just normal pizza...if we are lucky once a year we roll a BBQ up from production and they bring in burger, sausages and dogs to grill..I've never been lucky enough to get on grilling duty!

Good deal. If it was the same person and they backed out again, I was going to buy it and list it back on the site for $500.

My new nine foot Christmas tree was too tall and misbehaving.




I now refer to it as stumpy.

google or cloud or whatever picture services was mocking me...

I took a photo of the signatures on the inside cover of a comic I just sent in so it pulled up 'memories' of other photos of inside comic signatures.

1 in particular I've not really been looking for...but just kind of keeping my eyes open for when I go into boxes on hunts 1 or 2 times a year for CBCS submissions - the 1 I've been looking for has 2 sigs -one random guy and Harlan Ellison

BUT!!! it gave away a hint - I couldn't remember the book - it was Phoenix without Ashes and not a comic
but a hard cover - that now I have FOUND!!!!!!

so it mocked me but also kind of helped!!!!

other guy was Alan Robinson

not so much a grind the gears but like a come on guys..do better

watching a show with a medieval hut...hut has a water wheel...okayyyyy
supposed to be a peasant house.....water wheel is out of place...but lets go with it..

inside the hut...hut has glass windows!!!! like....that's for people with big $$
more shots inside....so...um....where is the thing the water wheel was powering??? nothing to be seen,
water wheels were only there to power like grind stones etc....

just shoddy...oh - and the water wheel was turning in the outside shots - which means the missing machinery should have been working - you can turn water wheels on and off - they aren't just always running....

like I get it - probably some producer person who is like - this would look nice and old timey - but has possible never read a history book or watched a history/archeology tv show???
