I have a coworker who works in China. He HAD unlimited global data. When I said had, from what I understand, the co. was told that they could get him a iPhone 6 through a buddy upgrade, by ordering against one number, then activating against his. Not only was this untrue, his first month's bill was over $6,000. The first gb was covered by the monthly plan--the next 3xx MB was charged at $20.48/mb. We were all laughing about it. The good thing is he back-bills the client in China, and they didn't even care one bit. He said he's already used over 2 gb this month, so at minimum, the usage charges will be $20,480. Usually, the flight out there costs that much, but not a cell phone bill.

update: I just shot him an IM, and he said it's still not unlimited and expensive, but they put him on a $25/100 MB plan, so it won't be as ridiculous....$250 per addl' gb.....

The dudes who do video rack up like 100+ gb....my buddy does 2 or so?

I heard them discussing one guy's phone bill in the states, always hovers around $2,500. Ridiculous.

But I agree, co. cell, is co. cell. You can always get your own, and should.

Still using an LG flip phone. Simple is better.

There was no sugar for my coffee this morning, so I did the next logical thing...,

stole a Swiss Miss w/ Mallows packet from my coworker. It was so-so.

Sara · 04-09-2015, 08:03 AM

I want iced coffee but I didnt feel like stopping by the drive thru. All I have at work is hot coffee.

Call me crazy, but what I think they do for this..., is brew coffee, and then put ice in it..., or chill it in a fridge/freezer.

Welcome back lazy ass.

Glad we're all on the same page.

Grimmy has been lonely and lacks a FWP.

I missed out on 34k on FB, sold my position before Labor Day 2013. Not anything close to your 150 g's, but that's almost an entire year's bonus for me, which is irritating.
