After an exhausting weekend of cleaning house we decided to go to Best Buy to drool at the big screen TVs. After wandering past the 50" movie screen sized TVs we started looking at the *smaller* ones. By smaller I mean 40 - 42". We walked pasted the a few and noticed one with a pretty decent pricetag. Decent for someone in a higher income bracket, that is... For me it was reachable. The 12 months of no finance charges made it doable. After two more walk throughs we bought it. I paid the guy and he left to get our brand spanking new TV we didn't really need. Five minutes later he came back... empty handed. Apparently the three in stock weren't in stock. Since it was new they didn't have many. I was told to come back on Thursday. So Sunday we put the new stand together and dreampt about it. By Tuesday Jake was going nuts. After pointing out the slip said nothing about picking up we started calling the store. After 30 minutes getting hung up on, transferred to a voicemail that was full and being put on terminal hold I panicked. We threw on some clothes and headed to Best Buy. Luckily the salesguy was there.

We waited for him to finish up and then recounted what happened (no way was I letting that much time slide). He did the usual "Really" with the head shaking and lead us to the counter in back. He assured us everything was fine as he looked for my order. No dice. He finally found the shipment... which was coming in Friday. He tried explaining how they were a store within a store, which is why I was bumped back to their phone. He mentioned it was for higher end equipment and better service. I scoffed and pointed at the telephone gal. "She put my boyfriend on terminal hold for 30 minutes while she checked for the television. That's why we came in." Again he did the head shaking. I was not amused. I just placed myself in debt for a TV that wasn't going to be there. He asked me to wait and disappeared into the back. I thought he was hiding until he came out and asked if we wanted to take it home now. Hell yes! With a few clicks we were on our way home. Now we have a huge TV to mess with. Which is good because we wont have the money to do anything else. :P
