    Hey everyone,

    I just wanted to tell you my success story about my laptop, which is now officially TESTING!!! YAY!!! As so many of you did, I called the order status hotline thinking the boring lady would say "You're order is in production and is currently in the build stage." (I've freakin' memorized that quote already from calling so much). However, it wasn't!!! She told me it was in the testing stage. And the weird part is, this is the first call where I zoned out of the phone call because I thought I knew what was coming. Other times before, I just repeated the phrase as the lady told it to me, but this time, I officially zoned out. After she said testing, it took me a few moments to realize what she said before it registered. And then I jumped up in the air out of my chair (thankfully not hitting any body part on the desk in front of me) and did a few fist pumps and pelvic thrusts!!! Yes, that's right...I did pelvic thrusts because I was (and still am) so freaking excited for my order. I then thanked god (why not, you know?), and then sat down. I took my heart rate (no joke) and was at 120 bpm (with the old finger on the wrist and count for 6 seconds and multiply by 10). This all happened at 11:43 a.m. CST and the weird thing is, 45 minutes before that, at around 11 when I was eating breakfast, I had called and still got the build stage. Oh, and I also started to dance by myself and with my dog (I know it sounds weird, but I was excited like crazy). After all this, I called the number again and it said TESTING. I'm so happy!!! Today is a good day. Now hopefully if they can box and send it to me before I leave for college on the 18th early morning, that would be even better!!!

    Check out my sig for specs and order date. Midnight blues, there is still hope!

    :) :D :rolleyes: :cool:

    You seem to be extremely excited. At a glance, there must be at least a dozen exclamation marks in your paragraph (!) ;)

    So it's not what you say to the Dell rep, or even what you ordered, it's the mental process of zoning out that sends the vibes and forces the evil lady to say something other than "Build"?

    Congrats! I would have probably had to call back to be sure I heard her right or didn't accidentally punch in the order order number.
