For the last week I've been going absolutely insane trying to get my girlfriends modem to her because thanks to the "enhancements" I had made to her system on my visit to her home two weeks ago, her computer no longer supported the built in modem - crappy.
So being a little nervous about it I up and bought a new modem for her, and sent it over night last thursday - shoulda been there friday right? Heh, well not exactly.
I ordered from Creative Labs directly - no love. None at all. They didn't even ship the damned thing untill Tuesday of this week because when I called there was some sorta billing problem that took them a day to get their shit together and fix??? LAME! - and in stead of shipping it overnight, they sent it 2nd day air - for a Thursday delivery. So then it gets fucked up in the warehouse, and they Cut off the first line of her address and I spent all day today calling UPS trying to get the right address on her package and insisted till I was blue in the face that it be delivered TODAY.
So I called em up, bitched, got some answers and then called Creative back and said "So uh... refund my shipping there bub, it's a week late..." so they did. Great. Buuuuuuut, UPS woudln't guarentee the package to be delivered today and said probably monday. So I went a level higher and said "yo, 2nd day air was yesterday pal - deliver it and do it now!!!" o0 So they're suppose to be doing that now. They have 50 minutes and counting to get shit fixed or monday by gumbo I'm gonna call and scream at someone - politely.
Problem number two with this damned hastle is this - She's got a power outage right now and can't install the damned thing. I could strangle puppies - what a SHITTY DAY!!!!!!. o0 So if it gets there today, HOPEFULLY if her power is on by tomorrow I'll get to hang out with her and talk. o0 and if not, I'm going to fly off the handle monday.
A third concern is my move. The bloody place I wanted to rent taken! They offered me a second choice but it's not as close I'm not happy *grrr* - Anyhow, it could be worse. I"m sure there are plenty of places to live out there, and one of them is bound to be near her. I'll find it.
Anyhow, I got rid of my fender hotrod deville 410, traded for a Cordoba C5-CE with hardshell case. o0 I wanted some money too, but when I remembered how fragile the guitar was I was like naaaaaaah, case please ^_^. o0 I love this guitar! Shitty thing is the electronics don't work on it, which chaps my ass big time I wanted to record with it. But I'll save that hastle for some other time - I'm a busy guy.
Damnit.
So what has all this shit taught me? One, screaming doesn't solve anything. I haven't screamed, I've just been firm, and very very persistant - I didn't take no for an answer, and in 45 minutes I'll see what it got me. What else? Well I've learned that it's not the end of the world even if it does feel like it. Patience in me is developing, even though I have many many good reasons to want to get the most from my time. I make good use of my time and I'm not happy about waiting, but I did get my laundry done, dishes done, apartment cleaned, garbage taken out, and the stuffing I made came out pretty well.
Anyhow, it's been a shitty day, but at good one, sorta. I'm gonna go check the mail, and then log off, let my poor phone recharge and nap before work. Later ya'll
Note to Karla: Love ya babe ^_~
