Patrick's Diary - 5/9/2016

I wasn't able to access my blog last night, so didn't update my diary. Now, it's 5:47 PM in Tuesday evening, I am catching up.

Ryan seemed to plan to follow the rule. Trump will be the nominee for sure. A guest made the comment last week that Trump needed Ryan more but I insist GOP needs Trump more. I planned to publish my Presidential Declaration #2 - Demographics in 1870 vs. Voters in 2016 after coming back from gym but wasn't able to either due to system glitch at Google. 

On my way to gym, I stopped at Tmobile store. Their store manager, I assume, greeted me. I told him one good news and one bad news for them. The bad one was that I wanted to cancel the service of tablet, which I rarely used but got 19 bucks charge every month. He told me that cancellation couldn't be handled at the store but I had to call Tmobile customer services to do it. He brought me to a young salesman, Bobby, and told him to help me take off tablet protection fee, which would save me 9 bucks a month. The good news for the store was that I needed to upgrade my cellphone. As I shared, the battery of my old phone couldn't be charged normally, it had caused me hassles for quite a while. Bobby was very nice and helpful. He learned my needs, then brought me to the demonstrating wall to show me all fancy phones. Eventually, he recommended me to buy a pretty slick one. Bundled with screen protection and case, the total was only 150 bucks. Because of the discount I got, I paid it off without taking the advantage of monthly payment. Bobby can be a model salesman, who seemed caring about customers' preferences and financial concerns. Of course, everyone is working for making a living unless who is a millionaire for fun. But if a salesman thinks for the customers as well, he or she will win more businesses and trusts. 

Working out for an hour until the gym was almost close, I left for home under the clear sky with a long crescent hung in the middle. I stopped at 7-11 to pump the gas, it cost me 31 bucks, which was a bit higher than what I had spent in the last couple of weeks. I didn't pay attention to the price, was it increased?
