Fired from Ebay.

Anyone who knows us fairly well knows that my husband has PLENTY of things going on....all the time. There are always projects (things to build, things to fix, things to do for others that usually include building or fixing) and things to sell on EBAY at our house. Jordan has a hard time getting to them all. SO, lately, I have tried to lend a "helping hand." Little did I know it would be a "hindering hand."

So, Jordan bought a large hard drive for a killer deal ($50) at his new favorite store, Fry's Electronics, in Vegas, and sold it on Ebay for $99. He asked me to ship it. I thought I was doing him a FAVOR when I wrapped it in white envelopes and USPS packing tape at the post office prior to sending. The post office worker said they didn't have brown paper to wrap it in and suggested this amazing alternative! Unfortunately, I told Jordan how I wrapped it, and well, he wasn't happy (he has 100% positive feedback, and a little "stunt like that" could possibly lower it!)...BUT at least I shipped it to the right person and address......

NOT so with the next Ebay sales.

Jordan sold a pair of Diesel shoes he had laying around since his modeling days where he'd get free stuff. Then he had a pair of traditional oxford Bostonians he wanted to get rid of. Both sold, both I was supposed to ship. I did. Just, well, to the wrong places.

Diesel guy send him a nastygram about how he got these UGLY Bostonians instead of those trendy Diesels. Jordan called down from the stairs when he read it: "JANESSA!" I knew I was in trouble right then and there (click here if you're wondering how I knew)

Later I told him I was sorry and that now I know that I have to ship things to the right people and that presentation was very important.... I would do better. He simply replied, "No, you're done." "You're fired." "I can't risk it."

Fired. By my own husband. Pathetic. He still loves me though...in a very non-business sort of way.
