I finally resigned myself to the knowledge that I’d never get an iPhone from a store while in stock and went to the Apple store to order it. I walked in to a very angry woman chastising the attendant for getting the wrong color iPhone, she wanted a black one and didn’t get it because the wait was longer and the attendant ordered a white one to reduce the wait. They argued back and forth until the woman grabbed the phone in a huff and jammed it into its new case, a full glove (covered the entire phone), black leather case. I think the only time she’ll notice the color’s wrong is when she removes it to sodomize the attendant next time.

Thermodynamics isn't your strong suite
I heard radio chatter that the new air conditioner in one of the buildings. They were complaining about it not cooling as well as a pipe leak in the room. I went down to check on it to see what the problem was: The room wasn’t cool all right, but that was because the air conditioner was sitting in the middle of the floor…. on…. in the middle of the floor….on. It was in the middle of a puddle of water from the condenser because it was int he middle of the floor….on….in the middle of the store….on.
To a certain extent, I was thinking of not correcting anyone for the hope that we’d get a better air conditioner, and then I remembered that I was at camp… in a building… with an air conditioner in the middle of the floor….on.
Calendar Fail
This Saturday, Zack Kantner and I went on a trek to find a new iPhone and at the first store found the wait to be 3 weeks. At the next store, it was 10-20 business days or 2 to 4 weeks. I visited a 3rd store after dropping off Zack and the third store it was 15 days.
Me: But the last store said they could get it in 10 business days?
Clerk: Well, if they can get it in 10, we can get it in 10. And we’re usually faster than the Newtown store so we can probably get it in 8 or so. We might be able to get it in fewer days if you’re willing to wait.
Me: So if I wait, I might be able to get it faster than if I order it now?
Clerk: Yeah. Wait till the rush is over.
Am I the only one who finds this makes no sense?
