Yea, I know. I've been delinquent in my postings. And my walking. But hey, it’s only 24 degrees here. Well it was 67 a few days back but that’s beside the point. It’s cold now and that’s my current excuse.
After making the typical 'OMG, I'm bored at work" circuit of some of the other bloggers, I was surprised to discover that I have been demoted to the silent sister in law.
And yes, I read your comments.
Well, I'll try and do better. Work had been rather bustling for a time but I am now back in my holding pattern waiting on the “others” to give me stuff so I can be bustling once again.
My other excuse is that after a couple months off from my other misguided adventures, I have once again picked up pen and paper...or more precisely, keyboard...and am attempting to finish a somewhat screwy book that's been floating about my brain for some time. If I work up the nerve, perhaps at a later date I will post an excerpt from my writings. But don't count on that. It’s a top secret project that not even the significant other has had a glance at so far.
One of my other misfortunate adventures has included wagging war on Western Digital and boycotting CompUSA for selling me a bum hard drive and being stubborn about owing up to their crappy merchandise. Especially after I was told it was my fault and that I must have gotten it infected with some nasty internet virus or something. Funny, the “C” drive never came down with anything. I guess I must have gotten that one immunized or something.
But he was real helpful in offering to redirect me to a guy that would walk me through reformatting this crap hard drive. Um, since when did it take special assistance to /format f the f’ing hard drive anyway? Hell, that's something we all learned back in the 80's bud.
So fair warning. You don’t want to deal with WD’s customer service. It’s horrendous. Took me two weeks of phone call’s to finally get through. Of course they did finally answer my repeated emails about two weeks after the fact. Way to impress your customers WD!
And well CompUSA lost a customer just because they wouldn’t even talk to me about the crap they sold me. In order to get any service out of them you have to pay upfront for their damn warranties. That just pisses me off to no end.
These companies get you coming and going. They have successfully removed any obligations to providing decent products and service after a two-week period. Or better yet, blame the customer for the defect.
Anyway, perhaps this will be a start of a more creative new year for this blogger.
but I wouldn't count on it. I switch gears too fast. Old family curse ya know. Start stuff and never finish.
