Dell finally updated the status page for the laptop order I placed with them on May 19. Though I'd originally ordered this laptop because the estimated date predicted it would arrive before the Rochester trip (and that was the whole purpose for ordering it in the first place), it doesn't look promising that it will arrive in time. After ordering, Dell immediately pushed it back a few days from the pre-ordered ETA date. Last night, Dell decided to do me a favor and push it to the end of this month, making the total time from order to arrival (estimated) a funtastic 42 days.
I don't think it takes 42 days to do anything. Heck, by the time it actually gets here it'll be out of date even though it wasn't when I ordered it.
In other news, I'm less than excited about going to Rochester next week. New York is one of the swine flu capitals of the world, and it doesn't look to be letting up. Oh, how fun would it be if I contracted it, brought it back with me, and was the reason for it spreading to this region. What does that make me? I'd have been the avenue by which others were infected, but at the same time it wouldn't have been intentional. Oh well, I'll probably come back just as healthy as when I left.
Anyone smell bacon?
