Going outside is stupid

[christopher575]

I went over to the T-Mobile store to see about a new phone. Before going inside, I checked the time on my phone, and it had 3G service, so I went to go post about trying to decide if I should continue with the purchase. I knew right away that I should because about half my keys didn't work. So I went inside and it turns out they're out of them, and won't be getting any more until the 12th, at least. Or maybe the 16th. So I asked if it'd be smarter to just order one online and she said yes.

So I just ordered one, and even with 3-day shipping added, it's not supposed to deliver until a week from today. And now that I'm back in the office, I'm back to having no service. So I can expect to mostly have no service for the next week or so, I'm sure. 

I suppose I could pop my SIM back into my MDA, but I bet the battery is shot.

Anyway, the moral of the story is, I should have just ordered one online last night. Except if I had, maybe my delivery date would be the 10th, and I have to go to the dentist that day. My plan now is to work from home next Friday so I'll be there when it comes. Fingers are firmly crossed.

I guess it's three days once they ship.

And I didn't figure any store would hold one for me even if they did have one, and if I waited until tomorrow to try to go to other stores that might not actually have any, it'd be just another day longer before I eventually ordered one online.

eh, they might bew illing to.

it is a guaranteed sale for the sales person. they can hold it and tell you to ask for them specific so that they get the commission.
