Oh Happy Day!

I am soo happy! It almost makes up for the pain I'm feeling in buying new tires, WTF

See I've been having this horrible problem with my iPhone. So when I first got my phone, I got it from Sprint. And this lovely Malaysian woman was trying to help me set it up over my home phone. Now I have had Nanos and iPods but I never had an iPhone and please to understand the phone is much more smart than I am. :X

So, 1st set up of the phone we had to log into the Internet and I couldn't remember my Wi-Fi password at the house because I never have to log in. So, I finally got the password and login and then she was having me set up an account. And I ask,"OK should this be my iTunes account or different account name and login?" She said it should be different. "Oh, okay?" So I'm typing as fast as I can on this little key brd on phone and "God I typed in the wrong thing! it won't let me login because  instead of typing .com I typed .CPN!! Help!" 

Well, bless her heart- she didn't know how to remove it and she said "that's fine you can fix it later. Hurry up let's go get you set up" so okay alright & on to the rest of the set up. So years later here I am & still cannot pull up anything on the phone. Because I cannot verify or log in to ITUNES ! :X 

The way I've been moving stuff around and updating is going to iTunes and then stuff gets stuck to my iPad & I'm pretty sure that there's explosions & fires too. It's like that BAD. Half the time it doesn't even work..it's been a nightmare, okay. All I want to do is download an app or update apps? Sniffs back tears.   :{  why you have to be soo hard?


So ok, I know it's not THAT BAD compared too some of the tragic world events right now..but its messed up, ok? You are reading this because you want a break, right? If not then exit now and go to the World News and pick on someone else. K, thanks bye.

So anyway, today seems to be a pretty good day for clarity. LOL

So I went looking online and finally found the correct sequence of star Alignments/ patterns & Magic Mac Words that would allow me to change it and now I'm updating my iTunes-iPhone- iPad & syncing with the cloud! I think I may run for president, WTF! Oh Happy day!

In other crazy non-related stuff:

Good bye to old tires :(

And YES I'm gonna blog about it. When I spend right at $800.USD on something I think it deserves  a mention, ok?

Sometimes I think my friends in the EU who don't own cars are right. By the time we buy auto, insure it, inspect it, repair it and maintain it we have spent a fortune. (Not to mention fuel! WTF)

Don't get me wrong I love my autos, esp. my truck...but...


The story of the tires isn't really all about the tires its about Business & customer service too. I looked on line and best price was 1 hours drive from here, approx 65 miles away. So figure petrol, food, shopping while I'm there (yes, really) and I knew the drive out price. I then called local people about ordering tires for me. if we were in ball park I would do it, but I also have to figure in MY TIME. Cause I do have to work some, lol.


1st Place. Lady answered phone,"YES?" Tone was why are you calling me, bitch?
 I thought I had misdialed??
 I asked if it was said business?? and she replied "yes." FLAT as hell. 
Me: "Um ok, I need a price on getting some tires?"
SIGH- "Hold on." Click
ME: Waiting & waiting.. then hang up


2nd place: Generic Answering machine (Once again did google give me right #?) 

No humans around. Hmm  has that Zombie event happened? No time to think, must get tires for REAL now.

3rd place: Man answers phone: "HI, This is XXX of XX. Can I help you?"
Me: Falls off chair! Recovers quickly and asks about pricing tires. Explain I have # and would like same said tires.
Man: "Ok Great. I don't have those in stock. But I would be happy to find the price and if you like order for you?"
ME: "How soon would they arrive?"
Man: "Next day, usually by noon."
ME: "Ok get me price, please."
MAN: "OK, do you want to call me back in 15 mints?" 

ME: "Sure, thanks."
He never asked my name, btw

Later- ME: "Hi, I called regarding tires while ago?"
MAN: "Yes, Ma'ma. I have the price for you as $786.53. I know thats quite a bit, If you would like to call around and get other prices..." He trailed off.
ME: "NO, thats ok. Order them please."

And he did and thats what I paid. He was SUPER nice *and should be as I was spending so much $$$. :O

BTW
I have noticed so many places that the employees are so far removed (in their minds) from the customers experience that they barely say thank you or care that you spend any $$ at all. Working for myself I cannot tell you how much that BOTHERS me. But basically when you spend $$ with us, you help us. I can pay employees and can pay my bills. We are grateful! Do you understand this concept?  Customer Service seems to be a thing of the past in the US. WTF??

ok rant over.
 
Tip your server and  have a good weekend. 
blah blah blah

Catch you later~
