Today I am using this space to vent out my frustration.
I went on a job interview over 3 weeks ago. I have since called three times. Each time I call the answer is the same, "I haven't had a chance to talk it over with my partner". Well, the last time I called the guy said he would call me by Wednesday. Today is Thursday and still nothing! What am I to do? Do I call again or just forget about it?
Tuesday night I went to Subway for dinner. All I asked for was tuna, no bread. Can you believe they wouldn't sell me the tuna without the bread? I, of course, complained and then just ordered the tuna with the bread. After I got home, i took the sandwich out of the wrapping, scraped the tuna off the bread and threw the bread in the trash. I felt somewhat guilty for wasting the bread but I told them I didn't want it. If the customer is always supposed to be right then why couldn't they sell me the tuna without the bread?
The rain we have been getting here is ridiculous. I am so tired of walking out of the house and getting soaked, even with the umbrella. I shouldn't complain because we do need the rain but not this much at one time. My wipers on my vehicle were going full speed and I still couldn't see one inch infront of me. Standing water was all on the side of the road. I practically had to drive 30 mph just to avoid having an accident. Thank God I made it home safely and the rain has eased off today. Although we are supposed to be getting more this afternoon and tomorrow. I miss the "SUNSHINE" :(
Then, on top of all the other chaos, my laptop quit working. I took it to Best Buy to have the "Geek Squad" take a look at it. By the time I got to the store I was so frustrated, the rain and all, took the computer to the counter and the guy turned it on. "The keyboard is locked up" he said. I just stepped back and said "you've got to be kidding me"! I am not a sarcastic person but yesterday I pulled out all the stops in our conversation. To make a long story short, the "geek squad" are not geeks! They are just a bunch of boy's pretending to know what the heck they are talking about. Final Result: "you will need to send it to the manufacturer and have them take a look at it. There is nothing we can do. It is still under the warranty. It will take approximately two weeks". That's where I lost it. Do you think for one minute if the computers were down at Best Buy that they could stand to wait 2 weeks to have it fixed? I think not. So why should I be any different? I put my laptop back in the carry case, walked out of the store and called my brother. He is what I call a computer geek He lives in Miami so he does me no good being that far. He gave me the name of a guy that can fix it. I called him and he said to drop it off and it should take about one or two days. I miss my laptop. I want it back now!!
That's it!! Things could be worse.
