My laptop....
...is now theoretically in the queue of things to be configured and shipped. Estimated ship date is now the 16th, meaning I should get it the second week of my vacation as long as that date doesn't ship too much.
I've called customer service to protest the misspelling of my first name (reversed two letters) and last name (clearly intended as mine, but plainly misspelled, not just typo-ish), despite my having spelled it aloud for the guy who sold it to me. And protesting that they're shipping it to the wrong city, right address.
Neither of these things is likely to prevent my getting the laptop; I live in a zip code that has about 4 cities. (I've never investigated, but I think it used to be a blob of countryside that slowly got annexed into various city/suburb type areas.) They chose the "default" one, which is only fair. Of the four it serves, one is the default, and two more are considered no-longer-acceptable (in that they were swallowed whole into the city which is the default - but somehow they still turn up, and even on occasion are used!!), and one more (mine) is considered acceptable by its true city name (as we are NOT part of the other city), but not default.
Oh, yeah, it'll get here.
But fix it anyway, guys, especially my name. Jeesh. ;) ;)
Laptop!
*eyes time* And now it's time for me to go falldown gosleep.
Well, actually, it's time for me to go have a nice soak, then go to sleep, but you get the idea.
Wish me luck and aliveness tomorrow.
