really, I got one and didn't have to get the data plan, but that was almost a year ago. What sucks though is I was going to add the data plan and they upped it to 30 bucks a month when it was 10 for unlimited.

I wanna Droid

[NB50 206]

I'd love to get a droid, but I have another year before I can upgrade with a discount. I have a suspicion why they raised the data plan also, as I heard VZW will be getting a version of the iphone when apples contract is up with att.

[Duran 387]

The data plan with the Droid is $29.99 on top of your normal plan, you think they'll go higher? I'm not interested in an iPhone either

hi

Sean I'm glad you started talking about noodles on HAF, it was some damn good soup!

[NB50 206]

No the data plan used to be cheaper then 30 bucks, just a couple months ago it was like 10 or 15 bucks for unlimited. I suspect that it went up to be similar to atts data charges with the iphone. I'm not interested in the iphone either but kinda suspected it is why the data plan may have gone up.

i had to get a 10 buck a month 25mb data plan. the unlimited is $30. Verizon is now calling phones like the env touch, " 3g media phones" this was just added last month.

Ahh that makes sense Bromo, to make the transition to shitty iPhones easier.

basically the consulting thing was a bust; turns out "management trainee" somehow equals "car salesman" to that asshole

on the plus side I managed to rack up 600 miles on the E55 so to me its all good

Four Detroit public high schools have decided classroom time should be used to train 60 students to work at Walmart. A new partnership gives participants 11 weeks of job-readiness training during the day and a Walmart job after school. Students earn 10 credits toward graduation…

sounds good to me

Its all speculation, but like you said it makes sense, to me at least.

True, it will make them more money so your speculation is most likely true.

I don't get the connection there...

the basic gist of it is:

allegedly they're a consulting firm for dealerships; automobile, commercial truck, powersports, what have you

they put an ad out for a "management trainee" position; I apply, they respond, we set up an interview

interview goes over smoothly, he refers me to a Chevrolet dealership up the road; light bulb goes off in my head but I decide I'll let this play out just a little bit longer (if for no other reason than morbid curiosity)

turns out the "job" being offered is a salesman position at this dealership; so I call the bastard back

Me: "I'm a bit confused; this isn't the position I applied for"

Him: "What position did you apply for?"

Me: "I understood it to be a management trainee in your firm"

Him: "Correct. How do I know you can manage people if you don't know how to sell a car?"

Me: "Well I did just spend the last 5 years studying at one of the best business management schools in the southern United States, and pretty much any brain dead yokel can sell a car."

some more jawing, I politely refuse his "job offer", drive home and pour myself a drink

[Duran 387]

I'll drink to you not becoming a car salesman!

Bottoms up Peng

Duran, im so close to having an amp!

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

I'm not the smartest person in the world but even I know that if I wanted to be a car salesman I can starve here instead of up there

[Duran 387]

Duran, im so close to having an amp!

How close??
