i should've known...

... it was too good to be true.

so i get up early this morning (well earlier than i would have), and drive to macquarie centre, happy to be on my way to being reunited with toffee. i get to the shop and hand over my sheet of paper saying i'm picking up my computer. he goes out the back, and is out there for a while. alarm bell #1.

he comes back out eventually with no computer in hand. alarm bell #2.

he asks me if i'd got a text message saying the computer is ready. alarm bell #3.

i said yes, and that it said to pick it up from this shop, and that i got it yesterday. alarm bells all over the place.

he logs onto his computer and tells me the message was sent when the repair was finished, and that toffee is still at baulkham hills, and won't be in their shop til after 2pm today.

what freakin good is that to me! learn to send a text message properly people!

so i am slightly pissed off. mostly because what a waste of petrol going to macquarie centre for NO bloody reason. and it's not really ever convenient for me to go there. i'm now forcing myself to take deep breaths, remember the good things in life, and thinking about whether to register a complaint.

so in summary, next byte bites!!

That's what you get for buying and Apple I suppose. If you'd bought a PC you would have had to ring three different divisions who would have denied all knowledge of the problem and then palmed you off to someone else. Eventually you would have been forced to ring the manufacturer directly in Malaysia. Then you would have had to ship it to Singapore to get it fixed at which point you would have got an SMS saying it had been fixed and would be back in your hot little hand in 4-6 weeks ... not that has happened to me ... I just heard about it ...

But you could be annoyed for waiting an extra day ...
