The first person in line is LJ, not TJ (I am him - I should know). Also, I didn't lose any pay while I was here waiting. There is this little benefit called "vacation time" and I have plenty to spare :).

To "T.J": with the money you could have made working since yesterday, you could have paid for the "S" upgrade to the iPhone 4 with cash rather than putting it on the ol' Visa card. It's a phone, people! It still calls out and receives calls, it still sends and receives text messages, it gets on the Internet, it gets e-mail. Smartphones have been doing that for ten years or so now.
