Just received a terabyte drive from California, packed in a custom-sized box, with a foam block protecting the drive on the top, bottom, and THREE sides!! you have got to be kidding. wtf?<\/p>\n
Needless to say, it doesn’t work. Beeps and clicks and you can’t even get into the system bios.<\/p>\n
I am so busy, I have so much work I need to get done , lot of computer shit and that goddamn hard drive doesn’t work, fuck.\u00a0 I am so screwed.\u00a0 It’s a no returns ebay listing and I guarantee that hitachi will not replace an impact damaged drive because the seller didn’t pack it properly.\u00a0 I feel another two-month long seller dispute brewing.\u00a0 another $200 gone until then and I still don’t have the fucking drive.\u00a0 I was up until almost 7am this morning again doing work and computer stuff, it’s like that almost every day, and each day the performance of the computers gets worse and worse with all these website add-ons like google instant, facebook chat and spell checkers and character counters, software updates, and ads pushed constantly.
\nNow my dad wants me to come visit sunday (which probably means sat. night late through sometime monday..) so i’m really feeling the time pressure.\u00a0 if that’s not enough, the goddamn shower started leaking again (dripping).\u00a0 I just fixed that damn thing last month and it took me almost two whole days, all day and six support calls.\u00a0 I have no more parts so I had to call again today and order the parts (at least they’re free) and I *have* to fix it because if you don’t, the dripping water actually eats away the drain and it is almost impossible to fix.\u00a0 The hot faucet in the kitchen sink also leaks water but only around the base of the handle when it’s on.\u00a0 They sent me the parts for that too but I have no time to install them.\u00a0 I don’t know what it is with me and water issues.\u00a0 My house is only 13 years old and I have had nonstop problems with dripping faucets and at least seven *major* floods (with ceiling, floor, and\/or furniture damage and even some of my posters and Blondie magazines).\u00a0 Every time I hear water drip, I get like a cat that’s all poofed up!<\/p>\n

I don’t know who is playing a part in the dumbing down of the world (or behind it) but I’m not buying any shares in that!<\/p>\n
so so what
\nI am a rock star!
