And finally, one more day... one more sleep...
It's hard to describe the atmosphere in the office this morning.
All our mornings went something like this: 4:30am none of us could sleep. 6am we were checking our e-mails. 7:30am we were walking through our doors.
The unorganized coordination of schedules was so accurate that it kinda frightened us!
But.. we can't help ourselves. It's such an amazing feeling to be almost there.
Obviously, like with anything so important, everything was going array this week. The website was broken a couple of times, the transaction process not really in place... everything that could go wrong was going wrong.
I'd like to say that we all have the ability to look at the silver lining right after the storm, but to be quite honest, it's been such a stressful week that it's been impossible to calm down.
Having said that, we are so excited about our website launching that everything that has happened this week feels like a giant blur. We don't even have the desire to fight with our computers (mine just came back from the Apple shop after a week long coma), or to worry about the car not starting. Why is it that things always go wrong all at once?! That unorganized coordination eerily moves around us.
We have done everything we can to source the best products, to get the best deals, to organize the most secure payment features for our customers and the most reliable delivery methods. Our goal is to embrace technology on one front pushing our e-commerce features to be as up to date as they can be. We are buddy buddies now with Twitter and Facebook. But we will also do our best to keep our business as old school as possible (we believe in hand written letters, one-on-one customer support, and plain pen and paper).
So here it goes... one more night... one more sleep. Tomorrow... you are only a day away.
