ebay

so last week i had someone bid on an item that i had on ebay and win it. so i sent several invoices and tried to communicate with the bidder. so after a week, i opened an upaid item case with ebay. the bidder all of a sudden said why am i getting this? i said because you won an item and haven't paid for it yet. they said they didn't want it and didn't think that they had bid on it. well guess what you did and if you didn't want it why did you bid on it in the first place? and i asked why they didn't say anything when they got the first invoice? they gave some lame excuse. thanks for wasting my time. i hate people that waste my time on ebay. i have had a lot of scammers bid on my items and i haven't been selling that long on ebay. oh well. selling on ebay gives me money. not a lot but some so i can bid on stuff too. i still don't know what to do with my old ipod. any ideas?
does anyone actually read this anymore? just wondering.

ebay

i am so surprised at some of the stuff that people will buy on ebay. i listed a whole bunch of magazines that i didn't want anymore on there and about half of them were bid on! i was surprised anyone was interested!
so like 2 weeks ago i got a new 120gb ipod. so i listed my old ipod on ebay. well the bidding got up to $100 and then i go and drop the ipod while i was getting it ready to ship and the stupid screen cracked! out of all the times that i dropped the thing it had to choose that time to actually break! it made me soooooo mad. so then i had to go tell the buyer that it had a cracked screen but it still worked and that he didn't have to pay for it if he didn't want to. now i have no idea what to do with the thing. i guess i can relist it with a cracked screen but i don't know if anyone would want to actually buy it now. i think the world hates me.
i got my own post office box today. i figured that i need to have it so that i won't be giving out my home address to all these people that i sell items too. mostly for a privacy. now i am looking for people to actually write to me there. anyone looking for a penpal? or you can just send me card there or whatever. i would be happy with anything! here is the address:
Allison Cookingham
PO Box 11395
Klein, TX 77391

my birthday..

so yesterday was my birthday. so i am now 23. nothing fun about it really. i did almost nothing at all. i read a book. we went to outback and i had 2 strawberry daquires. i got a couple of cards and some books (thanks robin! :) ) anyway that pretty much sums up my day. not a bad day but i always think that maybe something surprising will happen. for some reason i have always wanted a surprise party. i don't know why.
so i have to figure out what i want to do with my life. i have no idea what i want to do. like if i went back to school what do i want to do there? or what kind of job do i want to do? uugghhh i have no idea what i want to do with my life. this is so frustrating. most people know what they want to do by the time they are 23.

23rd birthday

so next week is my birthday. since my birthday is on a friday i thought it would be cool to have a party actually on my birthday. i was thinking about a cookout or pizza party instead of going to a bar. i find bars to be loud and all. i am just not sure how to plan a good party that people would want to come to.

i need to get it together

i really probably should take the gmat or gre and get it over with. i am not even sure i want to go to graduate school but i should take the tests while i still remember stuff and the scores last for 5 years so i can use them if i change my mind. i don't even know what i want to go to graduate school for.
i am still trying to get a job. i have had only 1 job interview and it turned out to be a waste of time because they just filled it internally. they should have thought of that first before they wasted anyone's time interviewing people.
sales are picking up a little bit on my ebay and amazon stores. someone finally paid for an item they won a week and half ago. i was about to put an upaid dispute case on them. and a couple of days ago someone bought some accounting thing i had for my accounting class. someone has also finally bid on this nice watch i had listed on ebay. i have had it on there for like 3 weeks.
i so totally wish i could win the lottery. then there wouldn't be this pressure to get a great job. i would probably work at barnes and nobles or half price books or someplace that i would really enjoy working at. i wouldn't worry about finding a job that makes a lot of money because i would already have the money so if i was going to apply for a job, you would know i wanted to do it and not just have it as a job to make money.
this blog is almost 5 years old! i never thought that i would keep it so long! i have definitly gone through lots on here. sometimes i read old entries.

the bad news called life

so i found out that after the interviews and all the time i wasted, they decided to fill the job internally. thanks a lot. it was a job that i could actually see myself in and was totally excited about and they just tear it down. why waste my time and get my hopes up?
the worst thing i have ever done and i didn't mean to do it. so my family has a cat that lives outside. she was getting close to 20 years old. she has always been able to dodge cars and make close calls and all that stuff. so i think she had finally gone deaf. i was leaving to go to the gym and she was right behind the car and she will usually move out of the way but this time she didn't and i didn't know she was there and i ran over her...i felt the bump and i got out to see what it was and it was our cat! i couldn't believe i did that! i feel so sooosososososososososo horrible. i am now the worst person i know and probably the worst person you now know. but i really didn't mean to do it. i can't think anymore or i will start crying.
i think people out there know what i have done because no one is buying from me anymore. i really liked having to go to the post office so often. but i haven't been in a while. i guess i deserve it.

interview

so i got an interview yesterday. i thought it went pretty well. the lady that interviewed me actually went to UH and got the same degree as i did so i feel like that it might put me at an advantage. (i hope!) i am suppose to know by the end of the week if i get a 2nd interview or not. i hope so! i know it might not work out especially on the first interview but i need something! i liked the sound of the job and the office looked cool and all. i hate waiting for things to happen.
i am still selling things online. for a week or so i was doing really well and i had sold a lot of stuff. but now things have pretty much stopped and someone even wants to return something because it doesn't "work". my description of the item was accurate and i guess i couldn't verify that it did work before i sent it because i haven't used it in years and i put that on the description. but i sent them a link to a help page for that item. we will see if they actually send it back or not.
