Wednesday was Macy's big One-day Sale. I worked in the shoe department. I will give you all one tip to make your lives easier;
If you are cranky, do NOT call to order shoes!
Seriously!
If you are going to order your shoes from the comfort of your couch you have to realize a few things.
1) You are WILL be put on hold. My priority is to the customers that actually battled the weather and crowds to get their shoes.
2) There are 50 women trying on and BUYING shoes every minute in my store. If you call in to buy your shoes and we don't have them in your size, it means that someone that came to the store got them before you. It does not mean that Macy's is trying to pull a "Bait and Switch." Just because your husband yells it a million times in the background does not make it true.
3) If you ask for the number to corporate I will give you the number to our store's problem solving department so that you can deal with the problem you are having with OUR store. If you view dialing those numbers to be too much of a hassle and demand to be transfered back to the operator I will think you are just lazy. I will though transfer you right away so that I no longer have to hear your voice or your husband screaming "BAIT AND SWITCH! BAIT AND SWITCH!!!!"
Remember though I will do this with soooooo much politeness that you can't possible take me on. You will only make your self sound crazier and crazier;
"...and then she wished me to have a nice day! A NICE DAY!!!!! The nerve!"
I had one lady go off on me about being put on hold. By the end of the conversation I had her buying a pair of shoes and apologizing to me for being rude.
I am a customer service GODDESS!!!!!
Have a nice day!

P.S. I kind of like doing this 30 days of something. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should try next? I'm mostly willing to try anything.

Sex everyday for a month (Please note that any votes cast by my husband will not count)? Seriously, suggest something!

almost every day at the toy store is a lesson on how not to be a parent.
As for another 30-day-stint... My friend did an interesting challenge a year or two ago... had to do with food and cutting out something specific... but I can't remember what it was... I'll find out for you though.
... 30-days of no processed or pre-made food? Or no eating out? (My friends have done that one, it was harder than they thought.)
What about something you've wanted to learn, some sort of craft or something... knit a sweater, painting a portrait or landscape, learn how to hand-bind a book...
Are you really trying to lose weight with the foods you are eating? Coke, Mcdonalds, Pad Thai, Toaster Strudels.. all processed, high-calorie, and SOO bad for you. Just wondering, because I feel like your whole 'fitness' thing is a joke. Perhaps you could really try this, eating real foods? Veggies, grains, fruits, water?
Rini- ooohhhh those are some good suggestions!
Anon- I'm not on some big weight loss kick, I'm trying to see what the Wii Fit can do for me without making any drastic fitness changes. How would we know what the Wii did for me if I also started running & eating salads? By doing it this way I am aware of the Wii Fit benefits.
P.S. If you just want to judge me on my food choices (and I'm viewing you as a blog "hostile" since you are writing Anonymous) that job is already covered by Barbara (my mom)
I always feel like part of the message that interrupts the hold music should be "Please be conscious of the fact that the world does not, in fact, revolve around you." since people are so quick to forget that.
As for suggestions:
30 days of family diners? (although that can be tricky depending on folks schedules)
or maybe 30 days of going to religious services?
I'm doing a "30 day" right now. 30 days of Mommy time. Every day I force myself to take 20 minutes where I am not allowed to do any of the Mom/Wife stuff. Hubby and kids are not allowed to disturb me and there's no laundry, no dishes, no homework, no bills, ect... At first I didn't know what to do with myself, but now I'm kind of loving it! Yesterday my 30 min was me sitting down and cruising some Black Friday ads, making a mental list of what I want to buy, and what I wish people would buy for me.
I do not envy your position on the receiving end of customer service stupidity. Sounds like you're doing a great job handling it though. Way to go.
Also, nice job with your 30 days of. How about something like 30 days of vegetables or 30 days of new foods (try something you've never had before each day)?? Of course my suggestion is food.
P.S. I just read the comment from anonymous! I promise it wasn't me!! My 30 days suggestions are just because I always think of food!!
you're "sex everyday for a month" idea reminds me of one of my friends who gave up abstinence for lent. yes, that means she had sex everyday for 40 days.
she did this alongside one of my other friends who gave up sobriety :)
