Todays April 1st, April Fools Day. And mine started on the 30th.

Apple came out with the iPhone SE, and I found out about it on the 30th. Since I was having a depression-induced buying bug I wanted it, but it didnt come out until the 31st. Ok I'll wait until then to order it so I can pick it up after work from the Apple store a few miles away. 7am the next day I check the website: still unavailable for pickup at a store. Okm just wait til 10am to see if they actually have it in stock or if its just a website fluke. Call them up, the lady said that they do have it in stock and she'd be happy to play the order for me. I declined because I was under the assumption I get a discount through being a Kroger employee. So I spend the next 2 hoursof my shift, fighting frustration and rage from my current POS phone unable to load the site to get the order right. I FINALLY get it in my shopping cart on the website, only to see the color I want is no longer available for pickup at the store until the end of April. I fight the rage building again and switch the color, ok that one is available for pickup today. Add it to the cart... and in comes a line of customers that I have to entertain, smile, greet, and be helpful when inwardly I am ready to gut someone. So I handle that, the whole time frustrated out of my mind knowing that I wasnt going to get the order in time, and yep, its no longer available; including all of the other colors and sizes of the phone.

By the time I get off work Im just beside myself with depression. I was unable to get the phone, which I need a new one badly. So now comes today...

I wake up at 8a, still pretty depressed but feeling mellow, and the buying bug strikes again. Through my Kroger discount I got $100 off a new iPhone 6s, which after taxes was $900. So I closed my eyes and hit the Buy button. Now with a renewed excitement I rushed to the Apple store to get it. Come home, pop it open, get it set up... and then the trouble starts. I got the one without a SIM card because my cellular provider is Kroger iWireless (a prepaid wireless plan on the Sprint network) and none of their phones require a SIM card. Well, ok I guess, I'll get a SIM card with Sprint so I can finish the set up. Run to the Sprint store: they dont have SIM cards available. Go to the other Sprint store: They cant give me a SIM card because Im not a Sprint customer. Go to Best Buy: Sure thing! $10 and I have my SIM card! Come home, pop it in, finish the setup and have the iPhone all open to play with. Now time to Activate it through iWireless. Enter the serial number of the phone: "Device is not eligible." Everything sank, even my soul. Just... nothing wants me to have this phone. Nothing wants me to be happy it feels like.

So after all this... Im back home, after spending the day running around, now sans iPhone, sans happiness. I just... I just dunno how to even care about anything right now.
