It's raining...AGAIN! *and* This is a business, fuckers!
You've got to be fucking kidding me. It's raining...again. Yesterday on the news they said we had just had 10 days of rain in a row. No wonder I'm ready to slit my wrists. I thought this shit was over - yesterday was GORGEOUS. Not a cloud in the sky - a bit chilly, but hell I'll take it! Now as soon as I open my eyes and look out the window, a mere 24 hours later, I see dark clouds, wind..and the damn rain. I just want to go back to bed (actually I already did that once and slept for 2 hours), and lay there all day. Guess there's only so much that little daily pill of mine can do, ya think?
Alas, so much to do today - I wanted to yank out a bush in the yard and tackle another giant one (its trying to take over the universe and doing quite well thus far), finish mulching, and maybe plant some perennials and mow the grass. Scratch outdoor activities for now. Need to get groceries (I've been eating Ramen all week waiting for my skimpy paycheck), and go to Kmart for Joe Boxer panties and Sharpies. Must stop at PO Box to check for loot and junk mail, and do laundry (might be able to skip the latter). Gus, get off my keyboard! Ugh. Go to mom and dad's for dinner and socializing. Cook food I get at the grocery for lunch this week. Do the dishes (Ugh again). I'm sure I've left something out!
Now for the stupid fucks. Yeah, that's you - Here's why I dont even waste one second answering your emails. Hmm..let's see. Email comes in "you're so beautiful - can I have a pic of your @#$#" - fill in the blank, I've heard it all. Flattery will get you nowhere. Here's how it works, because you obviously don't know. THIS IS A BUSINESS. That means. I OFFER A PRODUCT. YOU BUY THE PRODUCT. You PAY for the product. I send it to you. Nowhere in this equation do you see the word FREE - notice that?
How long do you think it takes to select something to wear, photograph yourself wearing it (a good 50 photos each time to get a few usable ones), edit the photos, pick the ones you like, upload them to the server, pick an auction template, choose your words and fill in the template (which can take a while after you've done this for years and sometimes you just have a creativef block), set up the auction on Ebanned via their template, wait for auction to run its course (7-10 days). If successful, email winning bidder, send invoice for payment, wait for payment, wear the item for 2 days, vacuum seal it, pick out nice goodies for the package (including handwritten personal note) - burn a CD, including a label for the CD, package it all up so it looks like a present, print shipping label, order pick up through the USPS, then check for delivery confirmation 1-2 days later, leave feedback for buyer. These are just the basics too, so you have an idea!
The above is exactly why you don't get FREE shit by sending a random email, and why you wont get my panties for $10 (what an insult to even ask!!!!).
