Rant number 354
I work in on-line retailing - and at this time of year, I do wonder why! Its bloody stressful fixing all of the problems when time is getting so short before Christmas.
I'm not a great lover of Christmas (did I ever mention that?) but I have no particular wish to let people down.
The fact of the matter is though - that people have to be realistic about this world - because, to break some news to you all - that you are possibly not aware of:
The world is not perfect!
If you order something, have a look at it before there are only 3 working days before Christmas. That way, people will be able to help you out. People seem to actually believe that Christmas magic exists - specially for them. It doesn't though.
If anything, at Christmas, many things wind down - because (and I know this is fucking disgusting!) you are not actually the only person in the world who would like to enjoy Christmas. As such, the post, the courier networks, shops, businesses and pretty much everything else wind down a little over the festive period - meaning that trying to sort problems out when there are only about 3 working days to do so (one of which doesn't really count!) is not really fabulous.
I understand its not great that this is the case - but it is the case. If you are going to mail order anything, try and look at things before the time runs out. People wan't to help you, but short of a fleet of jet packed superhero's - they probably can't. Don't make a nuisance of yourself and start being grumpy about it. Christmas comes at the same time every bloody year - so its not like you don't know its coming!
Rant over.
