I'm so freaking mad just now.

Spent the last two days stripping Blue2 ready for my new computer to come today. Just had a phone call saying the delivery driver had some bad news and can't deliver it, so would Thursday do?

I don't think so!

I don't get mad often but mess with my computer at your peril. I phoned the shop we're buying it from and was told the manager was busy with another customer who'd been let down, so I told him to phone back. He did and I was polite, but didn't give him an inch. I told him that I'd lost my shop loyalty ( We've bought our last two computers there and he knows that ) and I thought his delivery drivers suck. That this was no way to treat customers, that James had lost half a days pay waiting for delivery and I wasn't happy at all. Plus he tried to give a different excuse than the first guy who phoned. I soon let him know that he was talking crap and one of them was lying.

Result is we're getting an emergency delivery in the morning and £20 in goods next time we're at the shop.

I'm just pissed now. I know it's only a small thing in the scheme of things, but Blue2 is stripped to the bare programmes. I've no pics, fics, media files, songs, anything on him. I've a freaking generic sunset as my wallpaper for gods sake. Which will change within seconds.

I just think if you're promised delivery, you should get the delivery, that's all.

It does suck

**It just annoys me that these people know that they have you where it hurts. Unless you're some kind of computer expert who can fix/make your own PC you have to rely on other people.

No one should abuse their power like that. **

Man, I can relate to that! Last Christmas my father and my sister's father in law got new computers, so, as always, we decided to give the old computers to people who didn't have them.

Well, both of them wanted all their personal files removed first, so I bribed Dave (My brother in law who is a computer whiz) to do that. I traded doing his chores at home for a few weeks, running errands, things like that.

And you know what? Both damn computers are STILL waiting to be wiped! Not only will he not do it, he doesn't seem to remember that he said he WOULD do it, and that he's already been "paid" to do it. He's a schmeg head.

But glad you got some results on your problem! Kick their asses, girl! :)
