It's hard for me to
delineate what is my favorite day of the week but I think Tuesdays
beginning to come out first. Tuesday is the day that I get to jump on
a train and go into the city – – I love calling Salt Lake “the
City”. Referring to Podunk Salt Lake City as the city is just
hilarious to me. I have biweekly meeting in Salt Lake at Assist.Inc.
I've talked about this group many times. The old ladies and Dave and
that we talk about people asking for weatherization grants and
housing grants things like that. But I like it because I get to go I
have a reason to go somewhere. It's different from just going out and
jumping on a bus or train going to destination for no real reason
except to go. Having a task to do is so good I do miss that.
Yesterday I finished the
meeting and I decided I was going to go to Best Buy to purchase a new
cell phone. I texted Dianne the night before told her I was thinking
about a new cell and she informed me that Bridget and got her one
already. A bigger and better phone. I've been holding off getting the
phone because it was one more indication that the divorce is final is
the thread seem to me. Dianne and I had gotten the forms together on
a plan. It was time to let the plan go at least my head but tend to
do all my Best Buy business at the 21st South store since
that's where the bus and the trains conveniently stop. I've Sort have
been searching or windowshopping follows the last couple weeks.
Notice that Samsung had a sale under Galaxy S7. What I really liked
about the S7 was that Cell phone was bigger, much bigger than my
current phone.. It will not only help vision wise but also have
bigger buttons when dialing. And besides this cell phone was new –
brand-new.
I go to this Best Buy
quite a bit I love to go in and look at the merchandise and wish..
Sometimes I'm nudged by a “sales shark” I punch him in the snout
by saying I'm just cruising, just looking that's all in the shark
almost always backs way however today they smelled blood. I don't
know how perhaps I had a certain look on my face. The young shark
came over and asked if he can ask me a question about some aspect of
technology which I knew was a hook to try to pull me in but you know
what I can pull him in. His name is Matt. Matt was of course overly
friendly and solicitous. I told him what was going on with my cell
phone those looking for a new one and I had my eye on a specific
phone but I did not know which one. I'd seen it earlier in the week
it was on sale for $150. Matt was drooling over this I'm sure
what look like an easy commission. By this time he had taken me over
to Samsung desk and enlisted Shu–lin(this was not her real name of
course but I wish it was because she was great. It was not such a
cultural affront I would just call her Dragon Lady..
I was excited to get the
phone only if I can get the phone that very moment. I asked if they
could make the transfer from my old phone to the new phone and they
said yes. This exercise took at least an hour in which time Matt sold
me an Xfinity account. I think I was high on the previous purchase. I
almost bought way more than I needed at Xfinity. I think Matt sensed
I was getting spooked. He backed away and gave me a great deal, I
think/hope, and just Internet access. We shall see. This will allow
me to access good Internet for my apartment without having to endure
Wi-Fi with just is not worked for me at the end of the hall.
I think Matt and the
dragon lady served me well. We shall see. It was a good day, I spent
way more than I anticipated but boy I sure felt alive when I
finished.
