Apple late again?

Picked up the phone today and called my good friend Ashley at apple computers. The reason: Got another letter from them this morning where they announced me with the sincerest apology that my PowerBook would be delayed even further.

One thing I don't understand, when calling their helpdesk you are asked in a overly masculine electronic-robot voice to punch in your order number before you get directed to a sales assistant. But then the first thing they ask you is to provide your order number, the full name on the order and the delivery address? Why don't they make you punch in your order number if they then aren't going to use it? Silly silly..

Ok back to my important phone call. So after I authenticated myself with my dear Ashley I promptly asked her why, oh why she was treating me so badly? "Ashley, why are you constantly delaying my order? I promise I'll call you even when it has shipped. Dearest Ashley?!". Then Ashley quickly typed something on her keyboard and announced in her sweet voice that my computer had been delivered to shipping this morning and the email she sent me was a 'just-in-case' automated response. That my computer wasn't going to be delayed any further, that in fact it was going to be shipped tonight and will probably arrive next Wednesday. Huurrrayyyyy..! :D I gave Ashley a good and long kiss though the phone-piece and we said our goodbyes (I promised to call but.. I don't know.. she was getting a bit clingy).

So new electronic-supersonic-computer next week, sadly I have an assignment due on Thuesday that I needed my new Mac to do.. but .. I'll probably manage ;)

Well better get back to the books, I stumbled into Qin in the hallway (she is grading my ML assignment) and she burst into uncontrollable laughter..? hmmmm?... maybe it could just have been the beard... ?
