I am SO angry *Vent incoming* ~FieryMomOf2~

The morning started like any other morning, I got up to check email, do some Everquest stuff, ramble around the web, then my pc froze. I knew it hadn't been working right since the tech Jason had reinstalled Windows (and didn't back up ANY of my documents or pictures, thankfully I had most of the pictures saved on a backup drive. So I called the shop, and Carl told me Jason got fired for shoddy work, almost all of the computers he worked on came back with problems (no surprise). Carl came out to the house, and said my hard drive was probably failing (it was a Wal-Mart special from like 3.5 years ago) and that he'd need to take it in. Fine. I let him take it in, and then the incident with ChiChi happened. On my way back from the vet hospital, I stopped by to see how the pc was doing, and he told me he needed a DVI video adapter. This is like 4 hours later from when he took it in and didn't bother to call me and tell me.

So I race home and grab mine and bring it back to him. He assures me he'll have the new hard drive installed and all my backups on the new drive by the time the shop closes. And he was going to bring it back out to the house for me since I gave him gas money this morning. 6:00 came and went, no Carl. I called the shop, and no one answered, and I let it ring forever. It's now 9:35 and I haven't heard one word from him. So I missed work tonight, which is a dangerous thing to do in my job because of all the layoffs. As time went on I got madder and madder.

Now I'm absolutely LIVID that he caused me to miss a night of work, which I'll probahbly have to make up on my night off. What infuriates me the most is that he didn't even bother to call me and let me know he wasn't coming. My blood pressure is up, due to the worry and anxiety over ChiChi and now this. I'm going to give him an earful in the morning because I HAVE to have my pc back.

I'm sorry, but when you give someone your word, you stick by it. Or at least have the courtesy to call and let them know why you can't fulfill your promise. You don't just leave people hanging in the air wondering what's going on.

I'm trying to keep this as g-rated as possible, but the thoughts running through my head definiteloy are NOT g-rated. I am so infuriated and cannot calm down. I think I shoulod get a discount on the work done since he didn't have it to me when he promised.

So now I sit here and wonder if something went wrontg with the install, if he wasn't able to get it to work or what. And there's nothing I can do about it until morning. Too much stress today and tonight.

Thanks for listening...I've just about exploded everywhere, and I'm ready to strangle someone. Today has been an absolutely horrible day.

Date: 6/5/2009 7:52:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63201    Thanks Wyn. I've got such a terrible headache from my blood pressure being up most of the day. I want to go to bed but I know I won't be able to sleep. Sometimes being an insomniac really sucks.  
Date: 6/5/2009 7:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 61897    Not to add to your stress, but why did you miss work?... Do you need your computer to work at home or something?  
Date: 6/5/2009 7:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 62993    Sounds like a bad day. Here's a hug.  
Date: 6/5/2009 7:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 30621    I'm lucky my son is a wiz with PCs because I know zip!! Sorry youre having a tough time of it   
Date: 6/5/2009 8:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 36850    whoa, let's back the working Friday sucks struggle bus up, did I read correctly that you gave him gas money?  
Date: 6/5/2009 8:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 44960    Life, such as it is, gotta love it!! *Spirit*  
Date: 6/5/2009 8:22:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63201    Yes I gave him 10 dollars to come out here and check my pc because I live way out in the boonies. If he'd tried to work on it onsite, he would've charged me $75 labor, which is stupid because it's warranty work. Thanks for the hug, I needed one. And yes I work from home through my computer so my job is dependent on having my pc working...every day I miss is 48 dollars gone.  
Date: 6/5/2009 8:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 5061    DON'T PANIC!

Date: 6/6/2009 11:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 61897    That sucks, I hope your computer gets fixed soon then.  
Date: 6/6/2009 11:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 31765    Aww it seems like when it rains it pours. I hope things get better.  
Date: 6/6/2009 12:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 48809    This is terrible when someone we are depending on gives us the run around and never shows up when they promised to. I think we should be able to charge the people that do these things to us. I keep track of those that do this ...so I will never make the mistake of calling them again! I am sorry this happened to you and I can see that he is not anyone you can trust!  
Date: 6/7/2009 4:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 4144    wow! we've had the same kind of day!! just got my computer out of the shop yesterday. they still have my laptop. but at least i have one working!!
hope your day gets better!
  
Date: 6/7/2009 12:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 46527    I'm confused. Do you use your PC for your job?  
Date: 6/7/2009 12:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 46527    Ah....I see you do. That stinks. Sorry you had to wait so long.  
Date: 6/8/2009 7:21:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63201    Thanks everyone. I'm headed to town now to pick up ChiChi and hopefully find out what's going on with my pc.
