Free Weekend

Megan left yesterday to go to Wichita to help her parents move to their new house and get some work done on her car. So, it looks like Ember and I are on our own this weekend. I'll probably go downtown and got out with Romer and company tonight. Looks like Johnny is coming up tonight too.

I'm so excited! My laptop was finally elevated from the "boxing" stage and has been shipped. What the hell? What took it so long to get "boxed"??? The following are the different stages that it was in:

1. Order Processing: Monday, October 30, 2006
2. Pre-production: Monday, October 30, 2006
3. In Production: Monday, October 30, 2006
4. Kitting
5. Build
6. Testing
7. Boxing
8. Shipping Prep:Thursday, November 02, 2006
9. Ship Date:Thursday, November 02, 2006

It was in the damn Boxing stage for about 3 days. I would figure that building and testing would take the longest, but it seems that these stages were instantly completed when it went into production. Perhaps they already had a laptop prebuilt with the specs I choose. I think boxing is Dell's code for "we are waiting for your laptop to be sent from Malaysia and then we will ship it to you via FedEx when we get it".
