How Work Gets Done

If anyone has every wondered how I manage so many tasks in a given day.

The Setup

Don’t buy from eCost.com EVER

Bought a Motorola S9 Headset from ecost.com after seeing it listed on Woot.com as a sidedeal for less than $50. Well these headsets retail for around $130 at Best Buy and they are a bluetooth pair of headphones. Well when I got them they were poorly wrapped in box, and were missing the ‘Genuine’ Motorola holographic sticker. Well the mic doesn’t work on them and I suspect them to be a fake. All I have gotten was the shake from eCost on the phone. Finally they ‘supposedly’ called Motorola and authorized a return to eCost??? I don’t think this possible and this is probably all a sham. So now I am waiting for an email from eCost with the RMA instructions and prepaid return slip so I can get a refund of my money. Funny part is that the woman warned me that the email will probably end up in the Spam box and to check that for it. Strange thing for an e-Commerce store to have to tell me. Never buy from them ever, they just do not care about you.

I am going to Best Buy to purchase them and spend the money on a ‘quality’ product.
