Ah, well, as much as I'd like to wallow in self pity...I still have a couple ideas in me yet. I shall overcome, lol

I have two more days of voting left for my submissions to the "LOVES DISCOGS" competition. I would usually just wait until the last day, but I can't wait! So expect some bumpage!



So please vote an drop off a comment if you can and I will leave one on one of yours.

Also please give some love to the rest of the "LOVES DISCOGS" designs as those are about to end as well. Some stiff competition out there! Even though I would like to win, obviously (but I won't and that's okay, too), there are some that I would love to see make it through.


Thanks, people!]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 12:06:42 -0600
Tell me something that made you laugh. A real, genuine laugh. Or even gasp, I'm sure that's close enough.

I don't remember the last time I genuinely laughed about something in real life, not from a joke in a movie. I need a good laugh today.

SHORT PART
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put in the short part first because I'm sure no one will read the long part.

Basically, I'm really bummed out and tired of hearing people yell at me over the phone about stuff I can't really help them with.

Please share an incident with me where someone was rude to you. It will help to make me feel like I'm NOT the only one. OR share something that will cheer up all the sadsacks on threadless today.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE'S MY STORY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of my pet peeves is rudeness. And I don't mean elbows-on-the-table or chewing-gum-with-your-mouth-open (which is admittedly kind of annoying).

I work for a company as an intern an I have to take calls all day. I hate talking on the phone. If that's not bad enough, the calls I get are from a DIFFERENT department.

Dept A takes care of "ABC" stuff.
I'm in Dept B and we take care of "123" stuff.
But Dept A is off on the weekends and when they ARE in, they are only available from 8AM-7PM.
Guess who has to take their calls when they're not around?

And the most frustrating thing is that their website promises 24 hour service. And they only give us 1/8 of their access. So basically people call here pissed off, wanting answers and half of the time we have to tell them to call back when the REAL department is in. Some people are understanding, but SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY DOUCHEY about it.

I got a lady who needed her login ID and password reset and the whole time she sounded like she just couldn't bother with me. Then she hangs up and she calls again ranting about something and YELLS at me for another 5 minutes and I literally can't do anything because I don't have the access to look up the information she wants. All the while she is telling me that her hand is broken an needs to go to the emergency room. Then she went, "Ugh" and hung up on me.

What do you think?



On Monday, they were putting on a play written by a faculty member and presented me with a framed copy and a letter from the chancellor. Pretty sweet. They were also giving out these pins.



Anyway, just thought I'd share.

Also, please vote and leave a comment for these two! I really appreciate it. Thanks!

I kind of just submit two at a time, and then stop actively threadless-ing for a while, then come back and submit two more.

I hope you enjoy:







EDIT: "Beet" is not a misspelling. It's just a play on words, y'know: Beethoven, Beat/Beet, and God Save the Queen.

]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:41:24 -0600 I'm finally back! After my last submission, I didn't know if I was just disappointed or lacked motivation, but I stopped submitting. But for whatever reason, after I graduated this past December, I'm feeling like I'm back in the mix. I'm excited!

I have two subs pending and I keep checking back every15 minutes to see if new subs are up. I've been doing this since I subbed them on Tuesday night. I need help! And a board game.

A LOT has changed in a little time. I noticed that more printing styles have been introduced and more colors are being accepted. Is there anything else I should know that's new to Threadless?

One more bit of great news is that my sole winning design was recently voted into a Blik decal!

Thanks Threadless and the Threadless Community. You are awesome.

It doesn't have to be you, it could be someone you know.

I was just thinking what it's like for people named Shakira. I'm not named after anyone famous, but my name rhymes with Madonna and we both have the same birthday. Her birth year is 1958 and mine is 1985. Hmmm.]]> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 22:51:02 -0500
I saw it first thing this morning and decided I MUST have it NOW, which doesn't happen that often. And then I decided to see if my brother wanted any shirts so I could order them all together. I told him to leave me a note if he saw any he fancied. I didn't get off work until 11 and I went to Threadless first thing and now it's gone!

Eff.

And then I remembered that I had put it in my shopping cart just in case it happened to sell out, which I didn't really think it would that quickly. It was still there when I logged back in, but they still wouldn't let me order it since it sold out while I was at work. So much for my brilliant idea.

I have two options: buy a medium and hope I'll fit into it one day
or buy a hoodie. I HAVE been meaning to find an incentive to exercise and that hoodie is so pricey.]]>
