that was nice

i stopped by a verizon in-store kiosk on the way home today and asked carmine about a promo that verizon was running for people who bought the LG Dare. buy the phone, get a free (as in beer) 8gb microSD card for your phone. i wasn't aware of it until i signed up for my employee discount (22% off my bill! AND it applies to anything i buy for my phone too!). i shot our sales rep an email but in no real surprise, he never replied.

so, i talked to carmine and he knew exactly what i was talking about. he looked a few things up but wasn't sure when the promotion started. and he wasn't sure if it was something that would have to be mailed to me or he could give to me. so i patiently waited while he looked things up, talked with a co-worker who wasn't sure, and then he emailed someone who would know. but they were on vacation until the 25th. so he mailed the person covering, and i continued to wait. i was able to find info about the promo, but nothing with a date, so after he assisted 2 other customers, he made an executive decsion - he gave me an 8gb card.

WOO!

so, i now have an 8gb card to put into my phone and i can replace the 2gb i'm currently using that belongs to my mp3 player. so the day ended on a pretty good note after starting out in a pretty rough fashion. i'm still tired as hell, but pleased how the day ended.

thank you carmine of the verizon in-store kiosk :-)
