IPAD Euphoria in Flames
Oh, frig.
I hate the NY Times. It makes me think about things I don’t want to think about.
It’s going on and on about Gingrich. I’d take an Xanax if I had one.
It told me that even though I’ve lost a lot of weight the chances of keeping it off are well, frankly, remote. I’ve just made a vat of chocolate sauce.
But, the most alarming story is about my precious IPAD.
The human costs of the IPAD made by Chinese workers. Here’s the article. It’s not pretty.
Chinese workers, in the hundreds of thousands, work on them. And, I recently purchased one as a Christmas present on-line. Within three minutes of finishing the transaction through the online Apple Store, I realized that I wanted it to be gift wrapped. So, I called the telephone number they give you if you want to change or amend your order.
I got a perfectly nice gentleman who said he’d be happy to help me amend the order to include gift wrapping. I had made the order at let’s say, 2:25. It was now, 2:32. He told me he was unable to amend the order because according to his computer screen, the order had shipped. I asked him to check the time of the order. He did. 2:25 PM. Now, I said, what time is it? He said 2:34.
Now, I’m laughing. He’s laughing. And, I say, “That’s one efficient factory considering I’d asked for it to be engraved as well!”
I’m not laughing now.
