    I've considered that before, but chances are the weekend after that you'll be changing jobs

    He was asked when I gave it to him: "Do you pay the bill on this? If not, then don't keep the number." A month later he was furious when he tried to call me and it didn't work! It wasn't an important call, it could have waited until the next day, or he could have run on the land line. But, because he had "my mobile number" he used it.

    Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

      My boss here wants me to use my personal phone for e-mail and text responses and alerts, I pretty much had the same response, though he has my number already.

              If you are staying at a hotel while in the states, perhaps the hotel may accomadate your request. It's a long shot, but might be worth a try. :)

              Yep, that was one of my ideas too, but I still don't have my reservations and room number, so they can't do anything for me and I don't want to wait for that as I might miss the delivery date.

                  Well, I was using an interpretation of the word "article" to mean something dirty in this case... article [ˈɑːtɪkəl] n 1. one of a class of objects; item an article of clothing 2. an unspecified or previously named thing, esp a small object he put the article on the table 3. a distinct part of a subject or action 4. (Communication Arts / Journalism & Publishing) a written composition on a subject, often being one of several found in a magazine, newspaper, etc. 5. (Linguistics / Grammar) Grammar a kind of determiner, occurring in many languages including English, that lacks independent meaning but may serve to indicate the specificity of reference of the noun phrase with which it occurs See also definite article, indefinite article 6. (Law) a clause or section in a written document such as a treaty, contract, statute, etc. (Law) in articles formerly, undergoing training, according to the terms of a written contract, in the legal profession 8. (Christianity / Ecclesiastical Terms) (often capital) Christianity See article of faith, Thirty-nine Articles 9. Archaic a topic or subject

                    Hi, I'm trying to order an alienware from dell, because i'm flying to U.S. on april 25th. The problem is that they need to confirm the order by call an U.S. number, since I can't be there at order time, I'd like to ask if someone could confirm the order on my behalf. I also can't order when I'm in US because then I won't get the laptop in time. If you can, please message me so you can give me a mobile phone or something dell can call. Thank you very much.
