Most impressive...

Ok, last tuesday I ordered up a new monitor from Dell. I don't usually like to support Dell in any way, but dammit that have good monitors. And I wanted a good monitor. I placed an order for a 20" widescreen monitor. As tuesday turned into wednesday I watched the progress of my order as I am apt to do whenever I order something online. I got the order confirmation email from Dell. Early wednesday morning I got the email from Dell that said they were processing the order. And later that day I got the email from Dell that said they had shipped it. Included in this email was the UPS tracking information which I immediatly check on to make sure everything looks good and to get the arrival date to make sure Dell sent my order 2nd day delivery like they were supposed to. The UPS site hadn't updated though so no tracking info was available yet.

     Wednesday eventually (as time would have it) turned into Thursday and the tracking info from UPS site finally updated and told me my monitor was on it's way from Portland, OR. Sweet deal. So I go to Dell website to pine over my soon-to-arrive package and I notice something. Something bad. I ORDERED THE WRONG GODDAMN MONITOR!!!! There were two similar models of the monitor I wanted. One was a widescreen and one was a fullscreen. I had accidentally ordered the fullscreen monitor! Damn the luck!!

     So today (Friday) I sat around the house wanting to kick myself and debated whether or not to just refuse delivery and have it sent back to Dell and get it exchanged for the widescreen monitor that I wanted. So the UPS guy shows up about 3:30pm or so and hands me two boxes. One was the monitor, the other was a smaller box which contained the dual-layer DVD-R's I had ordered the previous sunday. Out of curiosity I opened up the monitor box to see what it looked like. I dug the styrofoam things out that secure the monitor in the box. I dug out all the thin styrofoam sheets that they wrap the cords in. Then i take a look at the monitor. HOLY SHIT!!! I ordered the fullscreen monitor by mistake, and they sent me the widescreen monitor...by mistake. So the next time anyone tells you two wrongs don't make a right, you tell them to shut the fuck up and send them to this post!! Two mistakes, and I still got what I wanted. Most impressive...
