Day 5 of no iPhone: iPhone sighting!

So on and on I go about this damn phone. I called up AT&T today and the guy on the other end of the line told me that he saw nothing on my account that would stop me from getting a phone. NOTHING. Of course I didn’t really believe him, but I did the whole telephone version of nodding my head and saying, “Sure, I believe you,” though really I didn’t.

Jumping to the gym part of my usual daily routine, I did go even thought I was almost asleep most of the day. It was quite humid and still last night and I woke up at 2AM and had to go get a drink of water. That’s not something I do that often. Usually I can just roll over and think dark thoughts about being awake until I fall asleep again. In short, not a great night of sleep. I heard most other people had the same problem. It was supposed to be good and chilly last night and nice and cool today, but it was 91°F and that ain’t cool for an Oregonian. But I digress.

So there I was at the gym, when Devon (who stood in line with me at the iPhone launch) was complaining about how her new iPhone quit working with SIM card errors. I figured if she was going to go to the Apple Store to get her iPhone fixed, I’d go and see what they had to tell me. Fortunately for her, we had the Apple Store diagnose her phone and then went to the AT&T store for a new SIM card.

Unfortunately for me, I still don’t have my iPhone. The guy from AT&T earlier in the day was mistaken; I still had something wrong with my account. But there is good news. Even though all of the news sites like MacWorld and iPodLounge told me that Apple is out of phones and even though there was a big sign that said the Apple Store we went to was out of phones, THEY STILL HAD MY iPHONE IN THE BACK! All they could do is bring out the little bag with my white 16G iPhone box and the silicon case I chose and taunt me with it as AT&T denies my account, but still it’s back there and there’s still hope!

Yeah, I know. I really need to get a girlfriend and/or a life.
