Update from purgatory
6 years agoA month ago I wrote a journal about my undead laptop. I tried many things to fix it. I work in ICT, I know how to defrag, clean up and make my computer run smoothly. But it being 4 years old and having had to suffer my parents home (lots of dust and dog hair), it just was on its last legs.
So two weeks ago it died... I went to the store, explained what I had done to try and fix it, that it was 4 years old.. the warranty had expired, but I had insurance, so to just send it to the repairs. I was told this would take up to 3 to 4 weeks. Ok, no biggy, I would suffer through a month, that was do-able.
Fast forward to today and me getting a mail saying 'so we looked at your laptop and it no longer has a warranty, would you like it returned or send to repairs?. Which of course pissed me off because after 2 weeks, this thing was still at the store and I had told them this information already. Naturally irate, I called the store asking what the Frickfrack was going on cause I had told them, in detail, what I wanted done, in person. I had expected my laptop back, repaired, in 1 or 2 weeks.
After some profused apologies and promises to prioritize my repair (thats not going to happen, I work in ICT, trust me they just say that to get you off their backs) They offered me a loaner for a measly 839 euros until my laptop was repaired.
Bitch if I could afford that I wouldn't be repairing a 4 year old laptop now would I?
But yes, moral of the story is, it'll take another MONTH before I have a laptop again. Meanwhile I'm bouncing of the walls whenever I am not at work because quite frankly, I can't do shit with my friends, I can't draw, I can't game I can't do nothing.
I have taken up gardening though, but hey that only takes about 15 minutes of my time a day with my tiny ass balcony. (Which is now full of plants).
But Lady, why don't you use your paycheck to just buy a new one? I hear you ask.
Well as we all know my stepmom is an enormous bitch :> and long story short she foisted a 1000 euro bill on me. For you Americans.. thats about 1250 dollars. I don't even have the money to buy a tv, let alone a computer at the moment. I have the money to eat decently, to pay my rent and to buy small luxuries such as molding plastic or a plant. I had been saving up for a desktop as mentioned earlier, but all that money went to paying that bill.
So yeah, anyone still waiting on commissions or art trades, I am most terribly sorry but until I get a decent device to work on I can't do anything.
