bookmark_borderSpringing foward..again

But time makes bolder, children get older
I’m getting older too, well, I’m getting older too

The topic of today’s coffee klatch was how fast life moves. One of our bunch is twelve years younger than I am and I told her the past decade went by very quickly.

Hell, the past twenty years flew by. And in twenty more years I’ll be ready to retire.

I can’t believe March is over. It feels like we just “fell back” and here we are “springing forward”. Soon it will be summer and then before I get my capris put away it’ll be time to buy Christmas presents.

There’s nothing to be done about this. I can keep trying to have fun in addition to trying to keep myself active and properly fed and hydrated. Moisturized, too.

Maybe I should cut out red meat? Good thing I like avocados.

I was feeling a shoe urge so I just went over to the Canadian Zappos site and found a message saying they’re shutting it down. (The pop up seems down now but it was there 20 minutes ago!)

So I contacted the online chat help thingie asking what was up with that…

This is the conversation:

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you…
Thank you for chatting it up with Zappos today, my name is Krystle and I’m happy to assist you.
Krystle:  Hi, Christine!
Christine:  Hi Krystie, do I need to retype my question?
Krystle:  I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand your question. The Canada.Zappos.com website is still active, and we do not ship to Canada from the US site.
Christine:  Now that you shut the Canadian site down will you ship to Canada from the main site like you used to?
Christine:  There is a message on the Canada site that says it is closing.
Krystle:  Oh no! I am so sorry about that, Christine!
Krystle:  I just started my shift and am still reading through my emails.
Christine:  And that only outstanding credits will be honoured…they didn’t tell You? 🙂
Christine:  Don;t worry it just happend like 3o mins ago!
Krystle:  Sorry about that! I am asking my supervisor right now!
Christine:  I will ask later! Have a good shift….don’t worry about me. I think there is still stuff happening.
Christine:  Okay go, I say good bye. Take care, ok!
Krystle:  No, they didn’t tell us before hand. I am just reading the email they sent about 20 minutes ago.
Christine:  I am SO SORRY I was your first question!
Krystle:  I am sorry I am not on my game!
Christine:  no worries…bye and thanks!
