Cyber Funday!

Ugh.
My coworkers are awesome, we know this. Morale is high...thusfar.
Free cake def helps.
I'm answering a lot of customer Emails and helping people out via chat.
I beg of you, if you're bad with English, have someone help you. At the very least, try not to go into a rage because I honestly can't figure out what you're asking. And the swearing? I'm telling you people, you don't really want to engage in a swear-off with me. I'm pretty good with words, especially in my native language.
Also, we're a store, not a school. I'm not here to teach you all the differences between acoustic and electric. I can try to talk you through changing a string, but watching a vid about it online will take less time and be more clear. I'm not going to be able to tell you the difference between our student line, and every other student line being sold in the US. That requires research and is something you do for yourself. Yes, you actually have to try to find the information you're looking for. But it will be so much more rewarding when you find it. And finally, if you make me type out a long explanation about something, for the love of Zod, read my answer thoroughly before you ask another question.
As for me, my birthday party was awesome. Lots of great people showed up, I got enough gift cards to get any Kindle of my choosing (and then some). Yesterday I ordered a Kindle Touch (not the fire) with some accessories and warranty and stuff. I was stoked to see that the good warranty covers accidental damage. That totally sold me. Thought long and hard about the Fire, but in the end, I just didn't want to order a 1st gen anything. Besides, I'd probably just end up mad it isn't an iPad. Party pics to follow after the book is turned in.
The book is due to the publisher on December 5th. We've pushed back the late April release date to an early May one. I've got a lot of work ahead this week, but am confident that everything will turn out awesome. The new publisher is pretty hands-on, which I am not used to. I'll almost certainly be asking writers for support on how to handle making changes per the publisher or editors request.
Dexter: Called it!
Boardwalk Empire: Love it! Also, sad times...
