OK, now I'm PISSED OFF
Sep. 1st, 2006 09:38 amEloisa is home. Battery is fully charged. Data are intact. As is the annoying whiny buzzy noise that was the whole reason I sent it in for repair in the first place.
Yes, I'm on hold with Apple. And I am NOT HAPPY. And continuing to hold is not making me any happier.

two things
Sep. 1st, 2006 10:21 am1) After talking to Henry at Apple, I'm going to take Eloisa to the Apple Store so that they can actually witness the problem rather than me trying to describe it over the phone. So that's what I'll be doing instead of working out. Joy. But at least I can go and fondle the technology.
1a) I was very annoyed that they didn't even boot up the machine and check if the problem was gone, and then I realized that I hadn't disabled the little application that masks the problem, so it's not entirely their fault that they didn't catch the failed repair. D'oh.
2) OMG Extreme Glee! Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.
3) Project Runway. ( Read more... )

well ain't that just special...
Sep. 1st, 2006 02:40 pmWent to the Apple Store and met with a very nice Genius. Apparently, the whine I have is inherent in the machine and there's nothing that can be done about it. So, y'know, the part where they made it seem like they had a fix for it? Big lie. Thanks, guys. I have such a love/hate relationships with Apple. Love the product, hate the comany. I wish they hadn't stopped licensing clones.
While I was at the mall, I stopped in at StrideRite to look at their rain boots. They start at a size 5. TRex wears a size 4. This seems to be a trend - no rain boots below a size 5. Or for less than twenty bucks. Ditto for real (read: insulated) winter boots. *headdesk* (Also - who in their right mind spends over a hundred bucks for a pair of kids' shoes?)
Then I stopped at Tim Horton's for an iced cappucino (butter caramel - yum) and some idiot was BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE-THRU LANE. WTF? And he made it pretty clear that my options were to a) back out as well to let him out or b) let him back into me. Moron. So out I backed, and he peeled out of there without even acknowledging me. Jerk.
Went to RiteAid to get my 60 cans of Pepsi products for ten bucks, called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nenie to answer a question he had asked me on IM earlier in the day, and now I'm home again, going to grab the files that I've changed off of X2 and hopefully get SOME work done today.
Oh well. At least there's a new version of Jardinains2 for me to play.

OK, that was kind of freaky
Sep. 1st, 2006 10:10 pmEarlier M went out to the store to pick something up. He was gone a bit longer than I expected it to take him, but whatever. Shortly before he came home I was thinking about how we should spend our exciting Friday night... and I remembered that he'd said the other day that we hadn't played any video games since we got the new TV (I actually think we had, but not a lot). So I figured, hey, I'll see if he wants to play some games tonight.
The grocery store is right next door to a Game Stop. He came home with a copy of Madden 2006 (continuing with his trend of buying the previous year's Madden when the new one comes out - because it's the difference between fifty bucks and fifteen bucks). So now he's downstairs playing Madden and I've been playing 'nains.
It's an exciting life we lead.
