Yes, but not the brand new top of the line phone.:)I wouldn't call them self entitled- a free new cell phone is a standard tactic of many cell phone companies.Because you are on the Internet, where there is no personal responsibility.Sigh.
Why are people so bloody shortsighted and annoying, again?
Yes, but at least I can allcaps people on the internet for some comedy. This is the seventh person today I've had argue that they should get a free iphone 4s for being 'such a good customer for so long.'
The longest any of them have ben with our company was three years. Average was one.
Self entitled brats.
nekkid phones?? ahh must be sexting!!
I'm alllllllllllll for sexting.
And yes, lots of companies do indeed do the free newest phone thing. I did it when I got my Optimus S, my friends just did it with their Iphone 4. I think the big issue here is that different companies and sometimes different managers do different things.
Got to sleep around 3 or 3:30 (damn Skyrim anyway). Tried to get up at 7, failed, managed at 8 so I could dry the laundry I washed last night. Just checked it. Somehow, the dryer managed to wrap all the clothes inside of two sheets, making it look like I was drying a corpse and preventing the clothing from actually becoming dry. I have to dress for work in 8 minutes. Brrrrr.
I pity the vendor who is going to try to sell me s!$# I can't afford at 10 a.m. Oh yeah, rehearsal tonight after work until 9:30, then maybe some dinner.
Need sleep. What's a beach?

But not at initial release, and usually the new phone is out or about to release, before they start cutting the deals. The iPhone 4 for example is a year and a half old at this point.:)

Sorry, not the 4. The one everyone would kill their mother over currently. I don't know the name, I'm not a iphone person.

Well now I need to find this cool place that gives you iPhone 4S with a new contract.

That's just the thing - they got the phone because they were longtime customers of their cell phone company. So you can get a phone for free for being a longterm member - I got the Optimus S with contract because my wife was in school as a full time student.

I meant new contract as in renewal of my current provider. ;)
Woe to any undead that show up and attempt to crash the party...The American Academy of Religion's annual meeting.My weekend in San Francisco draws nigh.What's the occasion?
Oh don't worry: the Alt. religious and anti-religious will bring their own with them, but mostly they will be kept within bounds during the meeting.
Well, it was nice to see Niel again after a long time. We had a lot of Aussie action while we Americans were sleeping. BTW, have we seen Flash in here in a while?
I saw the trio of ravens from my old neighborhood fighting off an encroaching red tail once. Pretty cool, isn't it?

What are you rehearsing?

Well, thank you for noticing.
I really should log in when I'm lurking- usually I just have time to browse quickly and see if all's well.Today, however, my boss has been off-site doing a mock inspection at another hospital so I've been using the time he usually wastes out of my day to post and read.
Good times.
What are you rehearsing?
Still Loehngrin and Fantastique. One concert Sunday. We over-rehearse. I get tired of it, especially when people don't know their parts after two months.

Morning all. What did I miss?
Well, Patricia and Alex were horrified when their presentation to the board was interrupted by Carl, their former intern - drunk and wearing a ballet outfit. Meanwhile, Bill and Al were shocked when Paul slept through their meeting with him, not knowing that he wasn't the real Paul, but a failed clone whose cell structure was slowly breaking down. And, across town, Brandon was the hero of the phone con when.....No, wait! That's my soap opera!!!

Should try and find a way to give your boss busy work more often then. :)

So I just walked into the break room, just in time to see a couple of large hawks being fought off by a murder of crows. Very interesting tactics too. The hawks tried to single a crow off from the pack but the pack the dive bombed the hawks from behind.
When I was in Japan a guy I was working with said he'd seen crows beat the crap out of seahawks.

Well the little blackbirds out here are not known for their bravery, just that there are tons of them. In fact I think anymore we have more blackbirds than pigeons. A swanson's hawk is a big hawk. They were about five times the size of the crows and at the end it was 5 against 2, and the crows were being intelligent and viscous in their tactics. It was a thing of beauty.

I have a few games of "words with friends" going with Flash I will send him a message and tell him that the FAWLTies are missing him.

A YouTube video of magpie attacks..... Vicious insane nasty birds. Any animal that forces Australians to wear empty icecream containers on their heads just so they can run out into the yard and grab the news paper is 100% hard as.

See and I really meant the Seahawks beating the Ravens. ;) Although the Redskins losing to the Dolphins, pretty bad.

The hawks around here get a lot of attacks from the little birds. They team up like fighter planes on a big bomber. The hawk can't get over them so it suffers until it gets out of range or under cover. Of course the hawks also dive bomb the little birds mercilessly. I saw one take a small bird right in front of my bay window. It was ultra cool, even had the cartoony puff of feathers after.

Only time I saw a cartoony puff of feathers was when a pigeon got hit by the tires of the car in front of me on the highway. I had to use my windshield wipers for all the feathers. Well for a few moments anyway.

That's just the thing - they got the phone because they were longtime customers of their cell phone company. So you can get a phone for free for being a longterm member - I got the Optimus S with contract because my wife was in school as a full time student.
I was eligible for a ‘free’ iPhone 4s recently, however to get it for ‘free’ I needed to upgrade my contract from a $30 a month call plan to a $60 (or something) a month call plan and commit to another 24 months at that rate. My understanding is that if I was already on the higher call plan I would have been able to get the iPhone without paying anything extra.
I imagine this is what is happening with Trinam – customers that are eligible for a less expensive ‘free’ phone based on what they pay for their contract are demanding the more expensive iPhone without wanting to pay any more (“other people are getting if for free, why can’t I?”).

We have a kestrel in our yard and he dines quite well. He managed to nail a turtledove this Tuesday.
I love Thursdays. I was paid my "paycheck" this morning.
Now, onto bills.

CH, your Ravenloft bad guys are really not having a good run, are they?
...
...I have a feeling we're going to pay for this at some point ...
This is what I call a slaughter. It's making up for the Surgeon almost wiping some of you out. (Face it, if she hadn't spread her attacks around the whole party and had instead focused on one person at a time, at least one or two PCs would have been dead.)
That said, I don't want to rob the party of a well-deserved victory. I was actually worried that this fight was too hard (if you had engaged them in melee, you would know what I mean). Good strategy should be rewarded.
Edit: And after everything the PC's have witnessed, it's probably cathartic to cut down some Falkovnian soldiers.

Amen to that! I was very worried that we would not survive the Surgeon. It's very nice to kick some Falkovnian butt.
I am currently very thankful for my ipad. My computer is...we'll just call it not happy. Still hoping that it's salvageable. But at least I still have the ipad. :)
Now back to studying. Ugh. Too many exams trying to be crammed into the time before Thanksgiving break.
