So I just bought a shiny new monitor and as you can imagine I am eagerly anticipating it's arrival. I got an email update from Dell letting me know I could check the status of my order. When I got to the page it said "Shipped 08/08/2006". Awesome!!! And then I noticed on the side bar it said

Estimated Delivery Date is:8/10/06

Any estimated delivery date contained in this "Order Status" section is for information purposes only. Changes to the "Shipped by date" shown may occur. We recommend that you visit this site again 24 hours prior to the date provided for confirmation and further updates.

Well it's 5:30pm on the 10th and no monitor so I call Dell and after 20min on hold they tell me it won't be arriving until the 18th!

So I know the estimated date is "for information purposes only" but if it's that far off why show it all. I would much rather just have a Fed-Ex tracking number.

Getting the CDs out of my office!

I work with several bands from my area who play regional shows, many of them doing small national tours. I've recently started working with CFG who now stores all of my bands CDs in their storage facilities, not my office. They then mail the CDs directly to the venue so that my bands don't have to cart them around in their vans. Plus, when they are on the road fans can order CDs and Merch from the bands websites and everything ships right out. They are selling more pieces now because they always know what they have available in inventory and they can focus on being creative while someone else focuses on being organized. I am, so far, very happy with the new arrangement! I think I'll get a plant!!!
