Default BLUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday morning A after being on back to back to back calls for two hours.. I got aa gift basket order..

one order..

or so I thought when I started the call..

It turned into 22 gift basket orders all sent to different addresses..

BLINK...

So... I know that some of you might have a hard time beliving that I have a spelling problem... I know.. I know.. I hide it so well...

Anyway,

Because of this lil issue, I always over verify ANY word that I am not 120% sure of..


Some where between the 4th and 8th I stopped verifying the spelling of things... Then I started again..

So I complete the order, head off to break, come back to start the next set of gift baskets to be entered.. (I got smart and asked them to be emailed to me..)

In my inbox? THREE frantic emails from my customer...

First one..

PLEASE CALL... SPELLING ERRORS

Second one..

MASSIVE MISSPELLINGS, PLEASE CALL..

Third one..

PLEASE CONTACT ME RE: MISPELLINGS IN ORDER..

*BLUSH*

There is a list of five orders that have typos..

One or two on each order... Simple as forgetting to put a E on the word suite.. Things like that..

But not very professional looking..


I wanted to walk out of my job, ignore the emails, hide under my desk..

Instead I had to respond to my customer... ugh.. I hate eating crow...

I told her I was horrified and would contact my suppliers and get everything fixed..

So.. I had to eat crow with my suppliers and throw myself on their mercy...

Kay.. that taken care of.... I get down to entering the second grouping of gift baskets... Tripple checking everything before submitting it..

Well.. except leaving out a D in one clients last name..

Oh.. the second batch? Same client..Same supplier...

ya... RED faced.. I had to Mea Cupa a second time..


ugh....

Thank goodness peak is over...
