MC Fair & AT&T (Part 2 of 2)

In an attempt to update after so long, this is going to be a dual entry haha. This one is more about the random happenings in my life. 

Went out to the bar this weekend with Eugene, Michelle, Charles, and Brian and had a really awesome "life talk". We shared stories all night and it turned out so much better than I thought. I had a blast :) We decided to go eat dimsum together the next morning & see inception after that. Inception was mind bogglingly good. Definitely a must-see!

During the night, we went to the Monroe County Fair. It was exactly what I always dreamed it would be in a fair! There were tons of rides and haunted houses and house of mirrors--all that usual stuff. It was open from 5pm-11pm so we went around 8:30PM when the sun was setting. The sky was a gorgeous golden color that reigned over the many lights from the rides. It was just picture perfect. There was a pig race where they had little piglets race around a track and win oreos (haha!). They also had pigs race through a short stretch of pool water. It was so cute! Not only that but they had a floral competition as well as a competition for cows, goats, guinea pigs, rabbits, etc. It was like what I used to see on TV--animals getting blue ribbons and stuff! Eugene & I bought an unlimited band so we could ride on all the rides we possibly can. We pretty much ran around all night trying to take advantage of the unlimitedness. Some of the rides womped but others were RIDICULOUSLY good! Ended that night with a chai tea. Yum.

I also had the worst experience with customer service with AT&T. I spent hours on the phone with them just trying to renew my 2 year plan and adding an extra line. It pretty much went something like this. I asked for a rate discount and I was forwarded to customer care. Then he said he can't deal with it so he handed me off to another. Then another. Then after I got a rate discount, I was transferred to someone who would update my lines. However, my blackberry offer price for upgrade disappeared after my rate discount. So I got transferred to someone who was in charge of pricing. Then transferred to online department. Then transferred back to the customer care people who told me I needed to talk to the rate discount people. They were closed by then. I call the next morning and they told me there was nothing I could do--my offer was gone. I got pissed because they told me that if I called this one last number, they'd honor my price. So I demanded to speak to the supervisor who told me it can't be helped. I got pissed and kind of professionally yelled at him. Finally I got my blackberry at the offer price. This whole process took about 5 hours. Yea I know.

But my beautiful blackberry came! After four years of using an old dinosaur phone, I'm so amazed at how handy dandy these smart phones were! Although it's super expensive to keep one...

I can't think of anything else that has happened but it's been really fun so far!
