Seriously? Not got an email but they can't stop you from talking we don't mention client names

I can't believe what I did today. I shopped the wrong shop!! Not the wrong location of a chain, but a completely different chain. Luckily I quickly relised what I had done - there is 1 word different in the names of the shops. I now have an extra bottle of perfume, that I can't really justify the expense of, even though it is my favourite, I am hoping I will be able to get a refund on that one tomorrow.

The way I see it this an be a very lonely profession and the forum is a bit like having a chat with work colleagues but the difference being this is publicly accessible for anyone to read and stays here forever.

In my opinion the discussion went too far today regarding what was purchased and to be honest although I agree it could perhaps have been phrased a little gentler I agree with what they said. Please everyone if you wish to discuss projects for this company keep it very vague. Discussing assignments in detail on here is not worth being sacked over.

I've done that before

As long as it isn't opened, the other shop should take it back. Check the receipt or website for their refund policy though before you make a special trip.

I did this last year, only with mine the name's wern't even remotely close to being the same

Makes me feel so much better that others have done the same, the receipt says they will refund if you change your mind as well as the packaging isn't opened. I quite like the one I brought in the proper shop though, even though it is meant to be part of my sisters Christmas present. I am starting to pick up a few more jobs than normal at the moment that are reimbursement only with Christmas presents in mind.

ABA-i seems very slow tonight. I have 3 Super shopper reports to do and each page is taking about 3 minutes to load! GRR!

Has anyone else received a snooty email today from a MS company reminding you of your confidentiality agreement and not to discuss their company or dealings on any forums? Or is it just me?

No, I got the email too. Shame we have a grass in our midst.

Don't know if we have or we haven't. My point earlier was anyone can read this forum without even logging in. Thus there's nothing to stop the company themselves reading it now and again to see what's going on?
