I got the following in my personal email inbox a few hours ago, and I’m a bit confused:
The points of confusion, all around the “Why on earth would they send this now?” question:
1. It’s August 15th.
2. I would have understood getting this in my work email as I do a lot of work with gifting. My personal email? Makes no sense.
3. It’s fucking August 15th.
4. When I’ve gotten quotes about turnaround time for numbers of engraved iPods in the hundreds, they’ve quoted me three weeks, even near Christmas.
5. IT’S FUCKING AUGUST GODDAMN 15th.
They even beat the absurdly-early-last-year L.L. Bean Christmas Catalog by almost a full month. What. The. Fuck?
