Upon my return from a Chitown New Years, I re-enter the House of Destiny to find my computer screen reading:
Failure Imminent. Please back-up and replace.
5 days and some mickey's later ... there has yet to be a single bit of information taken off that hard drive. all my pictures, finacial documents, music, movies ... gone. (If Metallica or Universal had anything to do with this, shit will hit the fan)
Earlier over break, before the new year, I visited the cingular store and agent that I have been doing business with for the past 4 years. My previous contract had expired way back in may and I have been saving the two-year contract discount for a sweet phone. Requirements: camera, music player, non-flip. Since the agent didn't have my phone in-stock, he said he'd give me an extra discount. Total after mail-in-rebate: $80.
do do do, do do do, do do do.
"you're phone's in." - dude
"sweet. i'll be down in an hour." - s.a.b.
thirty minutes pass.
(walking)
twenty more minutes passed
"So here's your phone. It even comes with the 128mb sony memory stick." -cheery and amazed dude
SWEET I'm so glad I bought that 512mb mini-SD card for my Jap cell that's missing and now won't be able to use on my new cell
"It even comes with a headset" - gnarly and surprised dude
This was included in your selling spiel
"So the phone is $305 and the contract takes $100 off, so your total comes to $205." -nonchalant dude
BLANK STARE #1
"Oh yeah, I said I'd give you a discount. Man I shouldn't have done that." -dude mentally kicking himself
PAUSE
"It was like $20, right" - not-entirely-sure-what-he-said dude
"sure" BLANK STARE #1 cont.
"So with the discount and tax but before the mail-in-rebate, the total comes to $200.76." - pretentious dude
BLANK AND INCREDULOUS STARE #2
"With the mail-in-rebate before tax, that comes out to $110! That's a good deal." - way-too-happy dude
LARGE SIGH "ok" -f.i.t.a.
Good news A: The phone really does kick ass.
Good news B: The house is clean and there are no dirty dishes anywhere.
Bad news #16.18033989: the business banquet is probably kaput.
First real thought of the new year accurately predicts outcome of that coming year.
This year: PHI squared EQUALS PHI plus 1 (pretty darn close)
Prediction for My 2007: by the end of the year, I will be one up (if I square myself).
