The month from Hell
Oct 21st
If there really was a Hell, I’d be standing on the edge.
My car died. And I keep getting the same lame-ass phone monkeys when I contact Wells Fargo about what to do now. Could I please speak to someone who can actually READ the notes?
My phone died. Again. This time it just won’t charge or turn on. Eventually I get another replacement, but there was a week there when all text messages and voice mails evaporated.
My rent check got lost – which actually turned out OK, but I had a really angsty week worrying about late fees and stuff. With proof the bank screwed up I’m cool with no late fees. I lurve my landlord.
My son left for his second deployment to Iraq.
My support check is late. So I can’t even get another rental car until that shows up. And the car Ginnie borrowed for 5 minutes to pick me up from the rental place ran out of gas.
Daughter just happened to step outside tonight just as the ex was cruising past our place. I wonder how many times he’s done that! And Ginnie’s met the new girlfriend who was with him. Nice date, cruising past his ex’s apartment.
The program I bought to create the Program Directory for PodcampAZ has been giving me fits. It says I can use any Windows acceptable font, and is supposed to save to pdf but every time I try it I ended up with white text on white background. Finally, after hours of searching help pages for both this stupid program and Adobe, I managed to get it to work. But not on an Adobe reader – there are with X in it at the end of every line. Yet if I open the same pdf with another reader those marks aren’t there. I win?
I have the Evo @ 11 recording Wednesday night, possibly Gangplank‘s podcast too. I have a Podcamp workup on Saturday and I have Jury Duty next Monday.
I cannot WAIT for this month to be over.
The cell phone saga continues
Jun 4th
As mentioned before my cool new Moto Q is bugging the crap out of me.
I downloaded the Motorola Software update and it doesn’t recognize that my phone is plugged in. Ain’t the cable because ActiveSync works. I followed all instructions (even the if-this-doesn’t-work ones) and nada. Searching online led me to believe that it would solve most of my problems. Crud.
I stopped by the ONLY authorized repair shop in the Phoenix area (after my mammogram on Monday) and he couldn’t fix it because my service is through Alltel.
I finally have a day without The Screech, so I stopped by the Alltel place ’round the corner. We’ve all been completely programmed to expect shitty customer service so I expected them to charge me money, or say I’m out of luck or some other negative outcome. Heck No!
No problem whatsoever. A couple of minutes on his handy-dandy computer and they’re shipping me a new phone within 2-5 working days. And I have seven days after that to ship back this faulty one.
Let’s hope A) it gets here before I leave next Thursday morning for Hawaii, and B) I don’t have any more problems after that.
