After what was supposed to be a two-minute attempt turning to five, the support representative got her supervisor to attempt to change the order to "pick-up." However, neither were able to change it. That day, I was mad at the programmers, the item hasn't shipped, nor was said to be "Prepared to ship." Just "prepared."<br /><br />As a side note, I wanted to try the Super Mario Odyssey demo kiosk, but that wasn't working either (a fault on the technicians more). By that point, I accepted my fate to wait until Wednesday afternoon/night.<br /><br />Simply put, if you work behind-the-scenes, you're probably going to get all the blame.Nandin Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186285507912182255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-7979202902637809092017-10-26T18:47:17.408-04:002017-10-26T18:47:17.408-04:00Well, you're probably still farther along that...Well, you're probably still farther along that path <a href="http://www.koopatv.org/2016/12/hour-of-code-2016-and-justin-trudeaus.html" rel="nofollow">than Justin Trudeau.</a>Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-60207478932019468372017-10-26T18:27:44.651-04:002017-10-26T18:27:44.651-04:00I made a simple Pong game on Scratch once.
