Status quo

Today was decent. There was only one caller I really wanted to strangle---a broad on Brand X jeans who placed an order for a size 8, started asking me questions about sizing, CANCELLED THE ORDER BEFORE I COULD HANG UP, and placed another order for a size 10, which she started second-guessing immediately. I managed to get rid of her, but I probably earned some filthy cockroach kharma for the thoughts I had about her ESL status.

Other than that, though, I found out that a Posh Brits order that had been uncertain the last time I checked went through and has shipped. I took a fat Le Snobbi order that went through. And my last two calls of the evening were multi-items orders for Pelts Leathermore. What was cool about those was, the first one was a gal from Staten Island, who gave a billing address that was literally just a couple of blocks from where I grew up---she got two jackets, and the second gal ordered a couple of items that I'd been drooling over all evening, so I got to shop vicariously.

Got undertime to watch Hollywood Babylon, which I enjoyed for the sly whimsy of it all.

My car is now stalling at low idle speeds when the engine is warm, which is annoying. Not sure if that's tied in to the sensor problem or if BC's car guy tweaked it. Paranoid much, me?
