Ok Sir, i will sort that. Then I say Listen I hope that won't effect the 35% coupon deal I got. He says, what coupon?.... That may definately affect it if the coupon has expired, is there an expiry date? God, that coupon was good for about 12 hours!. I'm like, "WTF" - Then it starts....(Dog pisses on router, Router blows up, (well, not really, just goes dead !) Then we get cut off... Smashing mouse to "Reconnect" CHAT; I'm trying to kill dog at same time, thinking, SHIT I have to get this guy back. All I know is that he had a name that was about 20 letters long but told me I could call him Rad, or something like that. So am frantically trying to connect a Shiiiiity 56k modem. If this guy has cancelled my order - I BBQ dog tonight. Got CHAT back, different guy by the name of ;lkdmgf;ldfjkgm;ldfkgj;ldfkmkf (somehow I think he's Indian too, but guess what; I may call him JAY, he has to speak to his supervisor to find out whether order is cancelled or not. He's going off his shift now but his supervisor is going to send me an e-mail on exactly what has happened. Order status still says "in production" 20 mins later. It's Sunday. Love it, go from 4mb/sec broadband to 56k. Checking email every 10 seconds, ..........What the hell can I do. I can't believe I'm reorganizing my desk area and leave the stupid router on the floor. What if supervisor doesn't get back? I should have said the hell with the shift change, get me the supervisor on the CHAT line NOW..... - I can't believe I saw an Avatar of a dog pissing on a laptop a few days ago (Lord HELLO or something) on this forum and laughed my head off. My whole house is now in uproar because my 7 year old daughter thinks I'm gonna kill the stupid dog now; and is Crying her eyes out, her younger brother is winding her up even more, .....my wife is going nuts because i'm screaming profanities and the kids can here. Now I'm locked in my office screaming out this stupid post at 50 miles an hour. God, I don't need this on a Sunday!!!

Sorry this post is so offensive, but I had to reply...

You sorting out your computer order or your daughter NOT thinking you're a psycho wanting to kill the family pet? Don't mean to lecture...we all have bad days...but family comes first

The 35% by the way, was off Approx. $3,500, making a savings of about $1,225, So Yes, I was a little upset; thinking this guy had just cancelled and thereby nullifying the discount of $1,225. And Yes, that takes a while to save up, not to mention how much it’s gonna cost when my wife finds out how much it cost and want’s her cut, (her $2,000 to spend how she feels fit, which is only fair.) Can’t believe I’m getting flamed here, Can’t even believe I’m replying to this post. This forum is superb! Why? Because it’s informative, humorous at times and even a little ridiculous every once in a while. I was just sharing an experience in my relatively boring life with a bunch of people I don’t know but whom in many ways I have much respect for. If people post “Ways in which to Rip Dell Off” threads, then flame away, I hate those threads too; but I generally don’t flame. I just keep my personal feelings to myself……..But don’t worry; you don't have to apologize for your post being offensive, and your point has been taken.

And OF COURSE I calmed my daughter down and told her that Daddy was just upset. I think it was more my 5 year old son winding her up more than anything else. Haven't you ever walked into a room with a big pile of whatever on the floor and gone, "Where is that damn Dog, I'm gonna kill him when I get ahold of him"...... And the BBQ comment was just an attempt at humor,..... sorry if I appeared to be a Psychopathic, animal hating, foul-mouthed, Low Class family beater to you. And yes, my family does come first. And to me my Dog IS my eldest son; to me, as he's older than my 5 year old 2 legged son. - JEEZ !!! |

SORRY!!!

I guess I was just really worked up at the time of writing it, and I wanted desperately some advice as to what to do, as I was in a panic and sort of had to explain what happened. I was writing like a lunatic the post; checking the e-mail every minute...... Thanks for the updated post though.
