onceupon turned me on to the Livejournal community called holiday_wishes where people post wishes for things — big and small — that would make them happy. Folks read those wishes and “if [they] see a wish [they] can grant, and it’s in [their] heart to do so, make someone’s wish come true.”
I recently cleaned out the spare bedroom (now aklikins office) and had collected a box of Winnie-the-Pooh things that I’d decided I was going to eBay, since I had plenty of Pooh stuff and was rather short on room. While skimming the lists, I found four folks who wanted anything WTP-related, so rather than eBay my Pooh things, I packaged them up this morning and sent them off to four LJ users, who I hope will enjoy them greatly.
Yah!!!
Celebrations all around! Champagne for me! Peanut butter Kong for India! Wheat Thins for aklikins (he tried the champagne…didn’t like it).
Perhaps a small thing, but I think really *good* customer service is so special that it’s worth mentioning.
The short version: since ![[info]](https://i0.wp.com/p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
aklikins and I have moved in together, we’re now getting two copies of ReadyMade … since this seemed silly, I wrote them, hoping to combine (and thereby extend) our subscriptions, but thinking that the best I’d be able to manage was canceling one of them. (It’s not like they made an error — we just moved in together!)
So I sent them this:
and they very kindly replied with this:
(snip)
Win! Easy peasy! And they’re “backcrediting” us for the issues before I got my mess together and wrote them!
Yah ReadyMade! I think I’ll go make some Duct Tape Wallets….
There’s nothing like having a migraine so painful that you’re willing to have a needle stuck in your thigh to make it stop to make you appreciate how much you *really* really enjoy it when your brain doesn’t hurt.
