The design has gone back to the old school. I missed it.

Well, I'm not the only one stuck in Fargo.
Missed.
The.
Plane.
So they usually tell you, "Arrive X hours early... enhanced security... blah, blah, blah..." and I usually show up, get my ticket, go through security, and it's fine. After all, this is Fargo, not Chicago.
We show up about 45 minutes early, and the ticket counter is closed.
Closed.
Like, no one there.
Ah, here's the difference between when I usually fly (on Northwest) and Jeff flying (on United). United closes the ticket window half an hour before the flight so they can go ready the plane. So, he's here until Friday.
I.
Am.
Such.

#2 annoyance to computer techs and consultants: stupid fucking people who listen to you tell them something, which is truth, and they arrogantly (and mistakenly) disagree with you.
Him: I did this, and that happened.

"Yes....and after "Jody" at Microsoft told me to do all the things I'd already done...and of course my computer STILL didn't recognize my scanner, she had the audacity to send me an email saying the problem was solved (?!?!?!) and wondering if I was DELIGHTED with their service?! Oh, it took ALL of my decency not to say what I really felt. I just let her (and her manager) know that I was NOT "delighted."!! UNREAL!!!!"

Me: Ok, so I ran into a problem with your program here where when I try to print 'Form A', said program crashes.
Tech Support: Are you accessing the database over a network?
Me: The file is shared, but this computer is the host.
Tech Support: Ok, what I need you to do is open device manager.......(blah blah) Now go to Netgear's site and get the new drivers for your card.
Me: I assure you, that's not the problem. This computer is the HOST. My database is on my C: drive.
Tech Support: This is a problem with your network, try the drivers I told you about, then call us back."

"No, it's more like how some people play tactical video games all the time. I used to play Rogue Spear for ages at a time, and the MP5 was a great weapon for going into smaller complexes or tight places. The shot pattern is kind of erratic, but when you're going into a building where your target is not likely to be farther than 30 feet away, you can deal with that. The only down side is the 9mm doesn't have the stopping power of a higher caliber weapon, but because the MP5 is so small, you need to control the recoil.
Ah.... video games...."

I call The New HP on Monday, July 1st.
Dave-the-spaced-out-tech tells me "We'll send you a box. It should arrive either tomorrow or Wednesday."
I call The New HP on Tuesday, July 9th.
They say, "Airborne Express was overwhelmed by the holiday. If it doesn't come tomorrow, call us, and we'll send another."
My question: Was AE surprised by July 4th? I mean, did it sneak up on them before they had time to tell a few extra people to come in to work? WTF? Meanwhile, I'm left without a notebook. Arrrgh.

"My new most un-favorite song is the Best Buy on hold music. I have talked to Jason, Steve, some non-English speaking fellow named Chris (I think), and finally Don. I say to Don, "You don't want me to cry, do you?" And he tells me that my laptop, which was sent to Houston two weeks ago, left Houston this morning to go to another Sony repair center, and likely the whole problem is THE AC ADAPTER. So, in effect, I am without my computer for another two weeks, at least, because the CORD MALFUNCTIONED. They took the whole shebang, when the dumb kid at the store could have plugged in another cord and made it go. I am very ANGRY with Best Buy. I am very ANGRY with them."
-D* [2002-07-10 10:52:14]
"Oh, Dee, I know how you feel. I purchased my laptop from them out of necessity and have only gotten the run around whenever I need something. Just to get a new battery is a 2-week hassle. You have to prove it doesn't work first, and then they take it from you and keep it. AND, on top of that, they hate women in the store, I swear."

Lauren has a bad LCD panel and (to the best that Chris and I can figure out) a bad motherboard, too. So she'll have to be sent in to Compaq to get fixed. Bummer, dude.
