I Talked to One of You a few Weeks Ago About This.
I was approached by my boss about ten-fifteen minutes ago. He's holding a product in his hand with an Amazon order in the other. He says I talked to one of you two (The other guy behind me assists largely in the management of our website) about this a few weeks ago. Can you fix it again?
I naturally ask what he wants to be changed, and he replies that it no longer comes in a gift box. First thing I do is I investigate. I told him I would force it through in order to get him to leave because I hate when he stands over my shoulder. I discover that I had indeed uploaded it with the title gift box in it. Interesting I thought.
I decide to plug the UPC into our distributor's search boxes, sure enough, a matching image/product comes up with a gift box. I assume my boss had ordered the wrong product until I had discovered that it's no longer in stock and that you can get the ones without the gift box. These are things that I should be told about. So for every gift box order, we've received we have been subbing it with a brush without the box. I check the UPC's, they're different, which means I have to add a new product to our website, as well as Amazon.com.
Both things I should have been informed of, but naturally I wasn't. That's very common here. I'm plugging away, and have an updated product on our website, and I'm currently unpublishing the gift box on our website, and I'm waiting for Amazon to refresh so I can determine what shipping charge to give it. He'll forever think that I simply changed the product name easily without ever knowing what happened behind the scenes.
It makes him underappreciate me, which sometimes I'm okay with because then he expects less. The only thing that sucks is my wage.

Other Guy Behind Me, I Can't Find this Color Where is it?
Boss #2, the brother of the Boss mentioned earlier was pulling an upstairs order for a can of spray paint, the Other Guy Behind Me is fairly knowledgeable when it comes to spray paints, and because our bosses know this, he gets asked all the questions about spray paints, no matter how dumb they are.
My Boss #2 said "Guy Behind Me I can't find this white"
Other Guy Behind Me - "Which white"
Boss #2 - "White"
Other Guy Behind Me - "There's about 6 differ-"
Boss #2 - "White <Item Number>"
Other Guy Behind Me - "Which white is it? There's about six"
Boss #2 - "Oh Shock White"
Other Guy Behind Me - "Shock white what?"
Boss #2 - "oh Shock White Cream, come upstairs help me find it"
They briefly disappear.
About two minutes later he sits down and my boss asks, hey Other Guy Behind Me, did you find that white? He lets out a chuckle then explains that he didn't find them, but Boss #2 found 6 cans 3 seconds after approaching the rack. Boss and Other Guy Behind Me laughed.
And now it's 17:24 time to get ready to go. Until Tomorrow.
