My internet access has been down for the past week. This is the second time it has happened within a one year period. Some may probably think, hey, twice in a year? That is not so bad. A lot of people in Africa do not even have internet access.
Well, when I am paying a premium price (1.5 times the current price for same plan) for a broadband connection, I do not think of people in Africa. I expect to have seamless surfing 24/7, 365 days up until Armageddon. So just imagine.
When I made the call to the technical support, punched my way through the press 1 for this, press 2 for that crap and finally got to a human being, I was threatening to tear down their office and sue their asses. I am not sure if I caused the operator to pee in his pants, but it did manage to get the support team down to my place ... four days later.
Pretty crappy about the slow response, but if the service they provide to their other customers are as good as mine, it probably justify the four days. In the end, though I did say I will drop a little 'feedback' to them, I never got around to doing it.
It is just like the other time when I experience an even deeper down the shithole service from my computer warranty provider. That was one or two month in a hell bound tussle with them. I was about to blow like Krakatoa and thinking of sending them a thesis on their tortoise-like service then. In the end, I never even send an empty letter. I am just a hot air balloon.
On another note, was chatting with Jane on MSN when she made the remark I will look more like a giraffe than an elephant. Then the thought of a fat giraffe popped into my mind and that was hilarious.
Heck, why is not there a cartoon on dysfunctional animals? Like the fat giraffe. Maybe can call it Quiverin' Legs Giraf. How about an anorexic Hippo? A balding lion, giggling hyena, woolless woolly mammoth and hyperactive sloth would probably be great laughs too.
