I declare Today National Good Customer Service Day!

I just got off the phone with Amazon.com and would you believe this…

I had an order from Dec. 20th held up because 1 item was on backorder to the end of January. They broke up the order to 2 orders, credited me for the shipping on each order, AND gave me some money back. (Rather than applying a credit for the shipping alone, they just credited a full $5 towards each new individual order.

Who can I call next.. My mortgage company? Maybe I’ll get a lower rate! lol

Criss Angel and I

Criss Angel and I

It’s weird how things happen sometimes. I work part time for a local radio station. We have 3 sister stations in the same building, but while we swap occasionally, we all have our own crews. I just happened to talk to one of the guys from the other station as they were getting back from an event at a Harley dealership. Guess who was there.. Criss Angel, so I headed down. I shoot photos for the station, so I had my camera on me. I have tons of pics from the event (I’ll post some on here over the next few days) but I got a chance to meet Criss Angel, and I have to say I was impressed.

The Adventures of Action Vance! Part 2

Walking through the casino, Action Vance’s mind explodes into action again. He makes the arrangements with the 2 girls in our group. He makes his way ahead about 300 feet and leans up against a column directly across from the Table games (Blackjack, Craps, etc..) and pretends to be planning his next big movie on his cellphone. All of a sudden, the girls charge at him screaming like loony fans and ask for his autograph. Janna even had Laura take her pic with Vince on her cellphone.

The girls ran back to me and Josh as we continued on towards the Buffet. We had to shrug off the dealers and pit bosses who were really curious who the “star” was. They’ll always wonder who that star was who was in their casino.

The Adventures of Action Vance!

We’re in tThe lobby of Bally’s “Wild Wild West”, a casino with a cool landscape scene blocked off to the public. Action Vance wanted an action shot with the cacti on this set. He sent the group to distract the guard in the casino while he jumped up on the ledge and I took a picture in the scene with a cameraphone.

Guess which is the pineapple!

Guess which is the pineapple!

Saturday was much better! I woke up at 9AM and called the mechanic. The car was going to be fixed that day, and it cost less than I expected to fix so I was in a better mood already. We went to Ceasar’s for breakfast. We missed the Breakfast Buffet by just a few minutes, so we went to the small Cafe next door.

I got the breakfast Buffet, and being I could take “anything from the buffet” I was nearly dared to take the Pineapple from the buffet, so…. I did. I brought back a plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, a danish, and one full pineapple.
