What is an ignosecond?

Posted by Contrariwise at 12:01 AM

That blissfully ignorant short space of time between the moment I open my delivery of 300 boxes for my customer's jewelry orders....
.... and then suddenly realize they're all the wrong size.

    Not to worry. I can still use them - but only for earrings.

    I swear I thought I ordered the right size. I even measured my regular boxes to make sure.

    Oh man! :(

    Maybe you can sell them on Etsy and 'de-stash'?

    Sorry to hear about that.

    No, I'll use them. They're fine for earrings. They just weren't what I....expected!

    Been there. I ordered some corrugated wrap a while back. It was such a great price, so I ordered 6 of them. What I didn't realize was that they were huge rolls, not like what I've purchase locally in the past. I'm talking a total of 2'wide x 3' high!

    I've always said that "Ignorance was bliss but not as good as unconsciousness". Now I can describe how long that bliss lasts - an Ignosecond.

    I'm too young too call them "senior moments". Ignoseconds sounds much better.
