Heya all! This is my customary "I won't be here to answer questions or deal with complaints starting on the 12th because I will be at Gen Con" post. In addition, I am taking a vacation after the Con (my first actual non-working, non-mini-related vacation in well over five years), so I won't be back 'till the gods know when (well, okay, probably around August 27th or so). So if you have problems with paint or questions answerable only by an Anne, please hold them 'till then, or go through normal channels and contact Reaper customer service. ::):

 

Thanks all!!!

 

--Anne ::D:

Thanks! I shall! ::):

 

Oh, forgot to mention, I am teaching classes at Gen Con and also am planning on being camped at the painting Demo Table (near the Paint 'n' Take) for a few hours every day except Sunday. ::): So if you have questions and are going to be at Gen Con then I suppose you COULD just hunt me down at the Demo Table!

So can I do to you what my customers always do to me when I tell them I'm not going to be around?

 

Hey, since you're going to be out of town, and I might need to ask you something, can I get your cel number? That's what they say out loud. I know in the back of their minds they're also saying 'cause I feel like you should be at my beck and call 24/7, and I'll program this number into my phone as my priority hotline to solve all my problems.

 

 

Go ahead, tell me off, tell me no way, curse at me - I can't do it to the jerks who ask me, so I give you permission to say to me all those things I can't say to them ::D:

The true way to get your vengeance is to give them a cell number you no longer use. :devil: Then apologize after you're back, saying you just got a new phone and forgot! :lol: If they don't ever actually call you...they'll never know! ::D:

And don't forget to get your competition pieces in and compete for Reaper Manufacturer Awards that Anne has to judge! Come on...call her on the cell just to find out if she's judged YOUR entry yet... :-)

 

Everyone has my cell. Answering it is a whole other problem...

He he...you obviously don't do service for a living. I am surprised at the lengths some of my customers will go to just to get ahead of the service queu. I've even had customer's figure out my home number (which isn't unlisted), call my wife and try and weasel my cel number out of her.

 

I have this love-hate relationship with my cel phone. I love my good friends and family being able to reach me whenever, I hate feeling chained to it because of my customers. Thank god for custom ring-tones - if you're not already programmed into my address book with a custom ring tone, chances are, you're going to voice mail. And I might even call you back. If I feel like it. Probably next Tuesday, right after Wimpy pays you for the hamburger you bought him.

 

Anyway, have fun at GenCon Anne - we'll live without you...

Okay, here's an idea. Non-con-goers PM me with your Anne-pestering questions, send cash via PayPal to me for each question (per the list below), I'll go to GenCon, get the answers in person and PM them back to you. We'll call it the Anne Pestering by Proxy Service (APPS). Each payment is payable 50% in advance of asking the question, remainder and upgrades due on delivery of the answer(s).

 

Pricing

General mini- or paint-related topics: $1 each

Spiffy, advanced, painting techniques: $5 each

Nonsense better left unasked, e.g. why is the sky blue?: $10 each ($15 if I get an answer, $25 if I can understand it)

Strange questions likely to be answered by Anne's bodyguards armed with pointy brushes and dull X-Acto knives: $100

Invasive personal stuff guaranteed to be answered with grievous bodily injury to yours truly: $1000 + medical expenses

 

 

 

Whatch'a think? Good idea? Any takers?

:poke:::P:::D:

LMAO.

 

I was gonna throw a few cents your way to ask something stupid like Are you having fun yet?, but that probably comes under the nonsense questions better left unsaid rate (NQBLU Rate), so it's a little out of my budget...

Well, I think it would work, especially if you simply stood there at the demo table while Anne was scheduled to be there and asked all the questions then...I mean, she's suppose to do that during that time anyway. Call me and I'll tell you her schedule...eventually...

 

As for everyone having my cell phone number, it's cuz I'm the responsible person....like, where's my badge? Ask Sue. Why isn't the hotel giving me a key to my room? Ask Sue. Can I just skip my scheduled time at the Demo Table to avoid weird people? Ask Sue. When are they auctioning off the Aces Charity Speed Paint minis? Ask Sue. What is Reaper giving away for Manufacturer Prizes this year? Ask Sue...who will tell you to Ask Anne. :devil:
