How Do You Like Those Apple(s)?

I have the new iPhone 5 being shipped to me currently from T-Mobile! Here’s the odd journey that got me to that statement… [this way you can just stop reading if you don't care how]

Yesterday at the Costco Corporate Deli I wanted to withdraw cash to buy breakfast after my workout; only form of payment accepted is cash. No funds available! WTF? I knew I was close, but really? Figured out that T-Mobile charged me twice for my monthly payment. Called this morning, and spoke with Brian.

He advised a glitch in the system has been generating these types of calls but T-Mobile is all over it. I asked about overdraft fees because I got zinged twice. He asked for how much, to which I replied $10 total. He said we can skip all the procedures, reduce my next month’s bill by $10 but I still receive the refund of $89.73. I was chill with that.

Then he asked, “Can I review your monthly bill, rate plan and phone?”

“Go for it, hoss,” I replied.

Enter in dialogue that T-Mobile is no longer having contracts. That’s right! So when mine expires on 2/2/2014 they won’t re-sign. I explained my data usage decreased and/or isn’t a ton anyways, that I lost my Galaxy S, and mainly use Apple products (desktop, and iPod)

So we agreed on this:

Data plan of 2.5GB (vs. 5GB), new phone, insurance all for the same price as I pay monthly for 1) no new phone 2) extended warranty on a phone I longer have 3) an outdated data plan.

The decision was easy! Get the new iPhone 5. I guess thanks to T-Mobile Accounting Software for the glitch that made me not have breakfast yesterday, and for the phone call this morning about my refund!

This has been your C Note. 'los; out.

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper...

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f...

End of an Era

UPDATE: 1-17-2019 I purchased my own domain of Carlos Bayne, so please follow my blog posts by click on this link here . I was haphazardily introduced to another blog site, Tumblr, because a friend on Facebook moved a thread to an account titled: I Heart Gary. I am able to blog each component of my life instead of having one blog and having to search through it. I realize it's an end of an era, but it must done. You can find my posts now at ...
