My 2cents:
Yesterday (dec 16) I received a Gateway ordered on Nov 15 that was shipped on Nov 17. I haven't tested it yet, but it surprised me that didn't came fully packaged. Gateway stickers were included in the pack but not put over the card, the box was disassembled, etc. Hard to explain...
I feel like school, back when I was actually in school, was more entertaining though, because of how much I get to interact with people, hang out with friends, and other stuff like that. All I get to talk to at work is my boring coworkers lol
