a t-shirt to remember

I feel this way some days…

recap # 457

The weekend started off horribly with an unfortunate exchange with my boss Friday afternoon. He was 100% correct in everything he said, but I’ve always found it hard to hear the things I’ve said to myself coming from someone I respect.

Nonetheless, The weekend wasn’t high on my favorite weekend list.

Friday night, I canceled plans with “Tom”, and went fetal on the couch while watching the campy “… but I’m a Cheerleader” followed by the moving and intense “Farewell My Concubine“.

Saturday was a blur of inactivity.

Sunday was spent shopping for a new mobile phone and trying to understand how Sprint can be such a horrible company. I am eligable for a $150.00 rebate on a new phone after 18 months with my current phone, and was informed that I needed to make the purchase in one of the stores. The phone I chose was the simple Motorola v60v (no camera, no internet, just phone) and I couldn’t find it at any of the three stores I visited.

Determined to replace my phone, I contacted their customer service department and attempted to do this on the phone. Alas, I was unable to. They directed me to their web site only to find that somehow, my warranty replacement had been entered incorrectly and I wasn’t eligible.

I ordered the phone. I’m sure I’ll owe them yet another angry telephone call once it arrives and I still cannot retrieve my rebate certificate from their website.

The joys of working with a horrible company never end…
