Find your Sleep Number

So, I broke down and decided to buy a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed. I was worried that if I met Paul Harvey, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck I would have nothing to talk about. God forbid if I didn't have a sleep number. I would never be allowed into the conservative good ol' boy's club.

So I called Slect Comfort, and orderd my bed. I decided that even though I have the cash, it wasn't readily available, so I wanted to use the 90 day same-as-cash financing.

I was denied.

What the hell I said. I checked with equifax, and they said I should have been approved. After much yelling at the blank wall, I inquired more and saw that the reason I was denied was because we just moved, and they wanted to make sure I wan't a terrorist or something. I had to fax a utility bill.

Good, I just got my phone bill the other day. I put it into my fax machine. Machine would not work. I just made clicking noises.

"FUCK"

So now, in addition to spending 900 bucks on a mattress, and having to do all this bullshit, I have to also buy a new fax machine.

I went to staples and bought a Brother 5 in 1 machine.

It dices, it slices, it even scrambles the egg "inside the shell".

Anyways. I orderd the bed, end of story.

Whew. Now that I told the story it doesn't seem like that big a deal. At the time it was very frustrating. I guess retrospect goes a long way.
