Am i Cursed?? (Long post)
Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2006 6:59 pm
ok in the past few days i've been having some difficulty with a new computer.
and its jogged my thoughts of my seemingly cursed self.
-bought a computer on sunday, from auburn, get it home to richmond,
plug it all in, and screen has no signal. the serial cable doesnt work, it needs a digital DVI cable. ring them, get rooted around, do a deal for my dad to pick up the cable on monday job done.
-plug in my new bigpong wireless modem...
it doesnt speak to my computer, the bigpond disc cannot locate the modem, i call telsra, spend 30mins on the phone (mobile-as i have no homephone) he tells me its rooted, take the modem to the telstra shop (even though i bought it from Harveynorman) and they will swap it, get to richmond, dude cant swap it, he's not authorized. he sends me to harvey whatsa at penrith. i arrive at 5.29 as the lady is closing the store, i tell her i just need a modem swapped and i plead with ehr and she does it.
head home all happy and stuff.
-plug modem into computer same problem, ring telstra again after 30mins of same shit telling her i already tried all this, she asks what cersion of windows i have, windows media edition, oh yeah, our software wont work with media center.
F$%king great. i cant use unwired internet coz the coverage finishes ACROSS THE FRIKKIN STREET!!!
- ring hardly normal, tell them the problem, seeing as they sold me the computer and modem. take day off work, 5 phone calls later, i drive down to auburn and swap the puter for another one. without media center. the give me 50g of hdd which i'll never need to compensate the media center.
-get home plug modem in, no service. great
unplug it all, move to loungroom floor uner the windo and i get 1 bar. (where im sitting now)
hmmmm, this adds the the list of other crap i've been deealing with
including waiting a month for my radio control bits to come in, (supposed to be 2 weeks) anly to be told they cancelled my order coz a chinese dude called david whang (not watt) who had the same bits ordered cancelled them.
and the pilot power front tyre, which i got quoted the wrong price for, turn up and their compressor is broken anyway have to leave tyre there for 2 days.
and the headlight and front tyre i ordered for my xr600 2 years ago from 2 different shops!!!!! i sold the xr with a broken headlight and rooted front tyre.
and dont get me started about realestate agent who i rent from. must be noted (no offence girls) is run by all Women.. could organise a root in a brothel.
end rant...
anyone else blessed with my disease???
on the upside, im doing a trackday on tuesday!!
if soemthing doesnt turn to shit b4hand!
