This Means Something

On some Deep Level.

This morning I received a package from Apple. Thought it might be a bomb, but they probably aren’t quite so crude as that.

They sent me another G5. See? I have FedEx proof. (click for large version).

And actual physical evidence sitting by me:

I’m thinking that they are just trying to make up for all the crap they put me through in the last two weeks.

But most likely all my phone calls, screaming, whining and finally sobbing confuzzled them something fierce.

And FedEx still hasn’t picked up the DOA machine. So technically, I have two Dual 2.5 Ghz G5s, that I shouldn’t really have.

I must admit that it’s very tempting to just call it even and say that if they want them back, they can just check my eBay store. Do a search for “Refurb G5 Never Used. Low Reserve!! A++ seller!!”

Or even better, that they are being processed in my warehouse and it takes 1-2 business days and then another 3-5 for shipping in order to get them back to the Mothership.

I’ll call LaToya tomorrow. She probably misses me anyway. It’s been days since we’ve really had a heart to heart.

1. Hey, in your dealings with Apple did you ever talk to a really surly Irish woman? When my iBook was way the #$@* overdue I had a less then pleasant chat with some Irish lass.  It seems, according to her anyway, customers are given a transaction # for a reason.  After I hung up on her a really helpful guy (also Irish) gave me the info I needed without me giving him the transaction #. 

   My iBook is quite the world traveler.  It was born some where in China then went to Anchorage Alaska, then to Memphis (must have wanted some BBQ) then to Seattle then it was off to Tacoma and to my house outside of Tacoma.  Lost a few hairs and gained a few wrinkles on that one.

2. No surely women with accents, and now I can’t find LaToya’s phone number here on my messy desk…

   So maybe I will have to keep those two extra G5s.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
