i'd like to buy a bowel.
so yea, i've been having some problems lately. around 6 miles, regardless of when i'm running, i have to walk it off. yuck...i hope it stops soon.
it's just one more thing to add to the list of 'why i haven't been hitting my mileage objectives.' nice.
my laptop i ordered from dell was supposed to ship on the 8th. on the 8th, i got an automated message from dell telling me my adjusted ship date is the 28th...i need it by the 24th. fuck. so i decided to utilize the 'great' customer service they advertise. the first attempt lead me to a dead end on the voice activated menu trail. great. the second attempt i outsmarted it and was able to (after sitting on hold for 10 minutes) to speak to a nice young lady in calcutta (sorry, kolkata), or bombay (sorry, mumbai), or some other place several thousand miles away. she told me it had been back ordered due to the lcd screen. i asked if i changing my screen size would help get it through faster. she said no, all lcd screens are back ordered. after that, she couldn't read the canned messages off of her pc fast enough, so i let it go.
i decided to try calling again later in the day. same deal, this time a nice young man in new dehli or hyderabad put me on hold for a while. he came back on and said he contacted the manufacturer directly and that it was my specific screen that was backordered, that they would be getting more on friday (today) and it should ship on monday or tuesday. that's more like it. he said he'd call today to verify that information. i hope it works out, but i am skeptical about the whole thing. i almost called again but what's the use? i'll just continue to get different answers everytime i call.
anyway, why can't spending over a $1000 for a computer be an easy and fun experience?
oh well. happy friday.
