Even better was that the sales rep was/is willing to come to us and work with us in the office, instead of us having to go to their main office or even the new satellite office.
This is the phone that came as part of my package. It's a Motorola V220. Camera with 4X zoom. Customized ring tones. External caller ID. Games. Plan included 3,000 local minutes, 10 cents a minute for long-distance phone calls. Voicemail, conference calling, call forwarding, caller ID, call waiting.Only problem: I have zero signal in my apartment. I'd signed up for service with the company before, on their TDMA cell phone deal, but got no signal at home. That was all supposed to change with the GSM system. It hasn't.
So tomorrow I have to return the cool and neat and pretty phone, unless they can guarantee me the problem will be fixed within the next month. I have to stick with my old company and the old service. Bleah.
Jury duty
So I went to the orientation for jury duty. There's an hour of my life I'll never get back.
Oh well ... there is a slight chance they might actually excuse me from duty because of the job — when you work for a newspaper, you can't NOT read the newspaper. It's a part of my job — in fact I look at, read and edit the news and opinion commentary and letters the day before it comes out. For most criminal trials, we usually cover and report on it. That definitely makes it hard to be a juror. I've done the duty before and never had a lawyer from either side willing to put enpanel me as a juror.
I gotta drop off a letter explaining the whole thing tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me!
Random Guam Fact Of The Day:
• It's been raining way too much on Guam lately. We need a few days of clear weather and sunshine.

Dzer, the phone thing sucks, hope you get to keep it.
As for the jury service, I hope you get out of that one. You're right being in the media you should be excused.
I'd like a chance to do it though, being nosey by nature. LOL.
I had that problem with my last phone! That just sucks! Hopefully they'll get you some service!
Good luck on the jury duty thing!
Have a happy day!

The phone thing sucks.
Jury duty is interesting. I've been called for duty 4 times and gotten on 3 jurys. Seems both the prosecution and the defense have no problem with a white female that isn't in a management position. Lol, little do they know.
The most interesting case was a drug case. Scary part was when the jury was released every day, we had to walk out the same door and in the same direction as the defendant's family.
I moved quickly and swiftly. After we convicted him, I requested a chaparone to my car that was 8 blocks away. Thankfully the court obliged.
It's too bad if you can't serve. It can be interesting.
Chrissie is knocking on your wood?
ick
I hate it when people take up my time for no good reason - because I can never get it back!
chrissie: they're gonna get me a different phone and see if it gets better reception ... and thanks for knocking on my wood ;)
jenn: It would be cool to serve, I just know it's very unlikely, at least in my current position.
mike, the male DZERette: yes, she was LOL
shay: I know, huh! It's always about THEM, not us! ;)
Dang, that really sucks about the reception.
I only got called for jury duty once and got picked. I actually found it interesting, was glad that I got picked after all.
kathi: don't it just? *sigh* and I'd pick ya!
chrissie: save other wood knockin' for your own blog, hussy! LOL and I'm guessing it was a little better for me than it was for you ... next time, try not to make the yawning so obvious ;)
