Yes, as a matter of fact I do still have a job.

So let me tell you about a day in the work life of Kinsey.

We have customers, they have terms that we set, you don't pay, we send you to collections. The way we figure up terms is by sending out credit checks to the credit references they provide us. Well one company sent us their references and sent out the forms for the provided companies to fill out. I sent out three and got one back. This reference sucked.....bad. They are in debt to this company for like $165 THOUSAND and their terms are COD. Which is cash on delivery. You don't have the cash when we deliver, you don't get the parts. So prepayment for you it is! In other words, you pay us before we even ship, or you ain't gettin shit.
So we don't hear from them for a month or two. Well two or three weeks ago a guy from there contacts me and asks me about it. I told them about the credit reference and that they are prepayment. He comes back and tells me they can't do prepayment and asks if they can do 50% down and the rest when they get the parts. My initial response...not a chance. But I asked the other girl in the office what I should tell him and she basically said the same thing. Got back to him but he is adamant about getting these terms. So I emailed his response to the girl with the following statement:

What should I tell this dumb bastard? He says they don’t have credit cards.

Well, I didn't get a response from her. Yesterday he calls and wants to talk to the person in charge. I'm like ok and put him on hold and sum my boss up on the situation. He talks to the guy for a while. He hangs up and comes out says something about an email.

Turns out I'm so brilliant, instead of hitting the forward button and putting in the other girls name, I hit the reply button. Omigod, omigod, omigod. How can a person be so fucking stupid?!?!

Basically my boss, obviously upset about it, says he's got my back. Come again? No punishment for this? Not this time....
All in all, I pretty much got off scott free. I narrowly escaped the guiotine once again. Holy crap.

I'm lucky I'm good with the other customers and he "likes to hear my voice". Or else, I may have gotten the axe. Props to my boss for being so awesome. Although, in the end, the guy got more then he really wanted. 100% due on receipt, which is payment due when you recieve the invoice (which I mail out the day after the parts ship). Dumb bastard.

Good holy lord, I'm an idiot.
