Ah college. The smell of a very overused room, freshmen acting retarded for everyone's amusement, bad food, and sweaty, muggy, hot weather. It's good to be back. Moved all my stuff in, so now instead of a big mess in the car I have a big mess in my room, but when it's so nice and cool inside, the motivation to do anything just disappears. Besides, with Aaron as a roommate you can't really tell, because his piles of stuff will overtake mine in a few days anyway. I also ripped off T-mobile today, everyone be proud. They offered me a free month of service for a new contract, but instead I ordered a new phone with a discount in exchange for a contract. Then I call them back and get the free month of service anyway. Have to love that sweet German efficiency. On both our parts. That is definitely a good way to keep a customer. People love the feeling of ripping the store off, it is such a basic instinct. Feels good to walk out of a store with more money in your pocket then when you walked in, and the store knows perfectly well that they will screw you over in the end anyway. Oh, I'm sorry sir, you had to send that rebate within three minutes of purchase using DHL express package worldwide mail, and surrender the original UPC along with eighteen copies, and unfortunately, we only count seventeen here. Have a nice day. And then UPS gets involved and it all goes to hell.
