While I could use this blog exclusively to pimp my sweet wares, nobody wants to a constant chatter of advertising. Really, how often can I tell you how great the green laser pointers are before you actually buy one and experience it for yourself? I don't know. You'll see. Just buy one. Today I asked Brittany if left-handedness is genetic. She wasn't sure. We looked it up on Wikipedia. Turns out, they're not sure. Them. Aye aye aye. BUT we did learn something funny - you've heard of ambidextrous people, who can use both left and right hands about equally well. Unless this was an exceptionally brainy an act of wiki-vandalism, the article on handedness also noted that there are people who are not skilled with either hand, and that is referred to as "ambisinister". Damn.

Over the weekend we were experiencing some wicked network problems here at HDE headquarters. I am very happy to say they were resolved and we got all our orders out on time with only a slight delay. w00t!! It seems the problem was either due to Derek's pet zombie gnawing on some crucial cables or else the network had become self-aware and immediately proceeded to have an existential crisis over its meaning and purpose. The zombie made friends with it and they both got out of our hair and let us get back to doing what we do best: hot deals.

We know that not everyone loves Valentines Day, while others adore the holiday. It's a nice excuse to buy tasty chocolate, but a lousy day to go out to dinner. It's also the lousiest day of the year to work in a restaurant, because everybody had the idea to go out for a romantic dinner all at the same time. And as a customer, how well is your date really going when the staff are too busy to grab a wine bottle opener or when you have to wait 40 minutes for a table? Not to mention, if you're really a sucker for punishment, go out alone on V-Day and wait 40 minutes for a table, sneering at all the couples making kissy faces while they wait for their romantic dinner to begin. Wait, this post is turning mean. Okay, here are some suggestions from HDE for how to spend your Valentines Day: celebrate your friendships, partnerships, and family and make time for your loved ones, from your spouse to your best friends to your pets.
Don't stress about having to "go out" or "do something special" - staying in and really getting to talk to someone is more meaningful than having a receipt for dinner leftover at the end of the night. So, how about: Mood lighting? (Hey, flashlights can be romantic too-- ghost stories?) <3 <3 <3 @){-----'--------,-- =^.^=

This is one of those days.
We're experiencing problems with our network, which is affecting our ability to get orders out. That is Problem #1. Of course, without internet access, I might not even be able to post this. When your whole business is based on e-commerce, you can't do much without that crucial "e". We spent time troubleshooting, and got it fixed. But not for long. We tried something else, and fixed it again. ...Or so we thought. It's still patchy. Later, the toilet handle broke. Well, actually the handle itself is fine, the chain is broken. I tried to fix it with a safety pin. No joy. Also, two fish in the fishtank died today and this morning on my way in, a guy honked at me after he tailgated me for a while. You could say it's not our best day ever. But, it will get better. ::crossed fingers:: by: Shop HDE

We got Chinese takeout for lunch the other day. The fortune cookies were the best part. So, following the feast, Steve* settled back at his desk and started to tell us his grand vision for our company. It's worth noting that Steve isn't the owner, the boss, or someone who has much authority over any of us. Still, we let him talk. 'Cuz we're cool like that. Steve pictures us as each having a character from what he called "medieval times", but on another salient note, Steve's concept of medieval times spans from Byzantine to Norway and Ireland and seems to cover several other time periods as well. I'm just sayin' cuz mostly when people say "medieval times" they think of dirty European peasants and Monty Python's Holy Grail. Ain't hatin, just sayin'. He gave us each a role, or persona. We don't yet know what the plot is. Our character lineup:
*Names were changed. Bodies were hidden.
