I hate Dell and I hate heavy accents

OK, so I call Dell to find out whether or not my laptop was supposed to come with a Bluetooth card installed or not and after 4 minutes holding a thickly accented Middle Eastern man proceeded to talk about security, authentication and some other shite when I gave him my service tag.

Once I finally got him to send me through to technical support he had to first stop me and tell me:

“I see that you have not extended your parts warranty.  Let me look up those prices for you so that you may extend it 1,2 even 3 years.  Alright?”

“Um, that’s OK, I don’t want to extend the warranty.”

“OK then, thank you sir, hold one moment while I look those up for you.”

*sigh*

“OK sir, I have looked those prices up for you.  To extend until 2011 will be $229.nn* after taxes.  This will cover…”

*CLICK!*

So, note 2 things.  The * is I forgot the change and the “click” is when I said screw it.

Take note of one last thing actually.

Which is odd when you think about it.  Normally calling a company is the best way to get a reduced cost.

I hate Dell.  And I hate grape squishee 7/11 accents… yeah you heard me…

I learned 4 new words today that I wish not to be

January 9, 2009 at 4:49 am · Filed under About Me, Awake, Rambling

  1. Banal
  2. Trite
  3. Stilted
  4. Hackneyed

Yes most of those words refer to the other and some redundancy exists.

I am complete

I am complete.  It only took me 30 years to figure it out, but I am now in entirety, complete.

It made me realize a few absolute things of this world that everyone knows when it comes down to it, but no one actually dissects its meaning and grasps the finer points of how backwards this world really is.

Which brings me to absolutely no further point.  Thanks for tuning in.
