I'm sure there were quite a few more qualified applicants than I. and I heard that they were taking alot of internal employees from other stores (cambridgeside) etc.... and relocating to the new store.

The glass staircase has been installed. I don't see why they can't open by the 16th. I remember pictures of the West 14th store just a week before they opened, and the interior was just a concrete shell. I’ve been checking the progress almost daily.

So, did you get the job? Have you had training somewhere yet? You should definitely check out the green monster replica before they take it down. It's really cool. Interesting.

You should definitely check out the green monster replica before they take it down. It’s really cool.

But is it typical for Apple to only give a weeks notice for the opening of store, let alone a Flagship store?

It's not that I don't believe you -- walking by there every day, I get the sneaking suspicion that they're not going to be done by next Friday -- but I'm just wondering. How do you know, Jafo?

I know I'll probably be at the end of a very long line, but I'll probably just stop by after I get out at 5. Wonder if I can scrape up the change to buy a new iPod/iPhone that night. My current 3G iPod is still kicking, but running out of juice pretty rapidly each day. Well, I’m glad to hear that it’ll be on a Friday, which is a day that I’m in town for work.

That gives them sufficient time to rip up the old sidewalk and replace it with a new one and have that cure in time for literally thousands of people to trample on within several hours.
