Case of the Mondays29 Dec
When you sell your product online it seems there is never a holiday or weekends. There is always someone in the world, even your own neck of the woods, that places an order or needs customer support.
The best thing about e-commerce is that the work gets spread out over every day of the year, and yet it all seems to come on days other than normal work hours! The Internet allows us to have our own shopping schedule, receive customer support at our convenience and find answers to burning questions when no one is available via phone.
For someone who can remember the days before the Internet; the days when the only type of mail was by letter and overnight delivery was considered a luxury, it seems all too hazy to picture the world working like that now. While many movies portray mass destruction of our orderly world, it seems if such an event happened we would find a way to use the most current “Internet driven” technologies to survive.
The point is; many teachers, students and other non-profit employees have these few days off between Christmas and New Year’s. While today is Monday on the calender, Monday came this Saturday and today is more like Wednesday before the long weekend of having Friday off, which is actually Thursday before going back to work on Friday which will be more like Monday.
Confusing, of course. But that’s the beauty of the Internet. A flattened world
makes things more efficient for America and beyond.
Here’s to a flat world!
