badstarWe have internet service at home. Really! We uh...just don't have a computer right now. Or a monitor. Well, we have a computer. And a monitor. But we sorta don't have power cords for them.
Why is that you ask? *kill kill kill*
The moving company continues to screw us, even a month after our move. See, we only just unpacked the computer when we got internet service installed and wouldn'tchaknowit, the asstards somehow managed to NOT pack the power cords that were CONNECTED to the computer and monitor- as in, they removed them and didn't put them in the box. No way this is an accident- especially on the computer, there is a catch on the power adapter that you have to press it to relase it, and then you have to give it a really good pull because that thing had a tight connection.
And then when I called to file a claim, the butthead of a dispatcher tried to blaim it on me, suggesting that I might have thrown the cords out with the packing material. Nevermind that the packing material was all sitting next to me and the fucking power brick weighs several pounds- it would be kinda hard to just accidentally get mixed in with some cardboard and padding materials and not be noticed.
Erg, so I have to replace the monitor cord- which will be about seven bucks, and the computer power adapter- which as far as I can tell, right now I can get from one supplier in Florida and is going to run me about a hundred and twenty-five- and I'm not counting on it being easy to get reimbursed by the moving company- if they ever do at all. (Yes, complaints will be filed with the Better Business Bureau. No need to tell me.)
This is only one of the minor details in how this supposedly great moving company has screwed us. Then there's our futon...
Will be ordering the new adapter early next week. Hopefully, will have everything hooked up again by the end of next week.
Oh, and I'm getting a new cell phone number. I should be letting anyone who needs to know about the new number as soon as I have the phone, but, like my new address, if you think you have reason to have the number and I don't contact you myself, drop me an email.
That's all for the moment.
