Did anyone get Halloween leggings? I've sold out of my skulls/Halloween type stuff already and they haven't announced a relaunch yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Y'all need to come to my house to use my internet for launches. I'm always on top of the unicorn train. Speaking of. Those little skeleton unicorns are the bomb.com.
The mandrake hats I made came out so freakin cute. She posted a picture yesterday in July '16. Those kids are adorable. I still don't know what I'm doing with myself for Halloween.
No Halloween leggings here. It's a load of shit. Sorry. It is. Consultants fighting like wild animals to get into a system to place an order. And the system that was supposed to be able to handle all of us not working as expected. Completely disappointing. People sat for SIX HOURS trying to get their orders to process.
My business will go on, I'll get over it. But, it's the same old story every single time. They make amazing promises and we get poop.
Oh. R's mom kept her home yesterday because "her threat hurt and was a bit red". Ok, fine.
It's our day today and she wants me to keep R home because "her throat bothered her during the night, so she's really tired". Maybe I'm not compassionate enough, but I feel like sore throats and tired isn't enough to stay home from school for two days?
malvoTheTuna15 yeah, that was mostly my experience. I guess being 11 now, small stuff like that doesn't seem like enough. No fever, not white spots on her throat, no throw up. Just a sore throat and tired.
Andplusalso she doesn't have school Friday and next week is fall break. So much time off!
R always gets pissed too because when she fakes it and stays home we don't let her be all over A. Sorry, you're too sick for school, you're too sick to get near baby and possibly get her sick.
A beautiful soul is sending me 20 pairs of OS Halloween leggings. It is sick that Halloween pants are such the drama right now, but they are.
I don't remember staying home from school a lot until high school when my mom stopped paying attention and I just slacked off a lot. Haha. Whoops. Not as bad as my sister, though, who was literally a day or two from being a truant.
So many people are RSVPing to my Game Night and I have no idea what I'm doing yet. LOL. I mean, I have ideas and can execute any of them.. but, I need a plaaaaan.

No Halloween leggings here! At both the 3pm and 9pm launches they were in my cart but it wouldn't let me pay Even after 90 min of trying I know it won't kill me but I was hoping for a little boost in sales from them. Oh well, life goes on!
TheTuna15 - No ideas for Halloween over here either!
ladymike - I couldn't agree with you more that the whole process is a mess. I know I'm super early on with LLR and should realize there's a hierarchy of paying my dues, but that was ridiculous. And then to hear people with over 600 coming to them. Um no.
malvo - Yay for a non sick baby hopefully soon And for save the dates! They look really good!!
sjep922 - I don't think my mother owned a thermometer so it was pretty much if you aren't completely dying and/or throwing up, off to school you went.

Not much going on here today. Work til 6, then live sale at 9, which I'm predicting 0 sales because I don't have a huge market for 2X and 3X, and then continuing to rephotograph all of my inventory. I got a new lighting kit that made a HUGE difference so I decided to redo everything. I also was changing up my outfit of the day to the flat lay pictures, but apparently that's against our policy. Whoops. So time to find creative ways to change that up. So.many.rules.
portuguesemama, there are people who ordered THOUSANDS. I know we all have different size businesses, I get that. I wanted 80-100 pairs. Also, the new system is supposed to hold what's in your cart for you. Not the case at all, apparently. I had better luck at both previous holiday launches than this one.
And, yeah, now my sales will probably suck for the next 2-3 weeks and all I will hear is, DID YOU HAVE HALLOWEEN PAAAANTS?!?!
A colleague decides to remind me today to watch what I post in regard to work on social media. Um, OK? I don't talk about work on social media, unless something cool is happening, which is super rare. I may have posted stupid drama shit 3 years ago when I was dumb and needed to grow up, but that's long ago. Who has time to scroll through my feed for that long, if that's what the issue is?
Anyway. Apparently something was mentioned to our CEO about me and social media. The colleague can't remember the details. He claims it wasn't a big deal and the CEO mentioned it in passing. However, I'm pissed that something - whatever it was - was brought to our CEO's attention. Like, WTF did I do? Is the issue a stupid post that SO tagged me in (because, Good Lord, can he be obnoxious and tag me in stupid shit)? My animal and/or kid posts cannot possibly be a problem.
So, yeah, I vented to this colleague, unfriended all work people and tightened my security settings, and then cried in my car. He says I'm overeating. Perhaps he's right. But, damnit, why can't I keep my name out of people's mouths? Why must they run to the CEO? I just don't understand. I feel like there is a target on my back. Who do I trust?
You deserve a cookie and beer if you made it this far.

ladymike - That is insane. If you got 1,000s then share with your team at least. Let them have a chance to buy some. I'd buy off of someone if I knew anyone who got them but no one close enough to me was lucky. And I got a question at 9:15 last night. Already over it.
malvo - Hugs mama! That's annoying drama to deal with. I can't imagine anything that you posted was wrong. I haven't seen anything questionable?
malvo, I'm not friends with ANYONE from work on ANY social media. I just don't trust it. I think everyone else overreacted in your situation, not you. You are last person I would worry about on Facebook, that's ridiculous.
portuguesemama and ladymike Thanks for not thinking I'm crazy over this. I was only friends with a few, but not anymore. It just bugs me when things get back to the CEO. Am I that unapproachable that you can't come directly to me? Was it really that serious that he just had to know? I don't get it. The tattling is rampant around here. It's ridiculous.

portuguesemama You can flat lay as long as it is not (obviously) on the floor. My super upline just had a competition for best flat lays?!? LLR features them in their official Instagram. They are fine.
