The Big Companies Iron Grasp

So, even if I don't get enough sleep for my 7 o'clock shift I still can get through it. I assume I am turning into an elf, you know, only needing 4 hours of meditation... well it was more like 6 but I am getting closer. All I need now is to get come pointy ears and start living forever, I think I can become a full elf in about 4 years.... screw that I want my +2 to dex rolls now!

Ok.... on to my next point, it turns out the windows at the gas bar were actually inscribed with the triforce. I cleaned the corners of every pane of glass and there it was, the three triangles of the triforce. Yes, I have found the magic glass of Hyrule, and no it isn't for sale.

I find it fun how I use so many lame jokes on a blog entry that I have some actually important to say, well, I bet you are all dying for me to tell you about the title? I guess I could tell you, but I was going to save it for another entry... Alright, fine, you talked me into it. I get back to work for the second half of my shift and my boss hands me a layoff notice! I was all like shit, but then I read it. Derek is forced to close all three of his stores in the mall because of poor support from the town. I had mixed feelings about this, for one I didn't care for working at The Source, but that 8 to 12 hours less that goes on my pay check. I believe the reason there has been no support is because of the big company at the edge of town, Wal-mart. That is the problem here, Weyburn isn't big enough to support every business in town, people usually flock to one of them and stay there for their business. I know many people who are actually boycotting Wal-mart, but usually the city can still offer what you need. Weyburn doesnt' offer an such outlets. But I can't see a business that could help the solve this problem.

I will try to support more of the little guys in town, instead of the major monopolizing Wal-mart.

Hey,Prime Minister! ANDY!

Ya, if everyone hasn't noticed yet, that I only blog at times that I think I have some important news or some complaint about how much money I spend. Or when I want to talk about hating smokers or some generic group of people that everyone hates, but we should all be lovers instead of haters. Seeing that the hate game is stupid but everyone plays it, like The Sims in 2000.

But my real reason of blogging is to tell the world that ATI has sent me back my video card in record time. One whole week of waiting, and they give me a brand new card! So, uh even if they don't have people to talk to for technical support, they still can satisfy their customers.

I would also like this time for everyone to check out this blogger. ya, check it...out that is.

ATI, the artifical giant

Remember me complaining about my video card over heating a while back? (refer to So...Road Trip) Anyways, I tried to contact them again. First, by phone seems like the best way to go. I try the 4 phone number I had grabbed from awhile back, the onyl one that wasn't busy told me to go to their site and register my video card. I had to listen to a bunch of machines to get to that, no human contact what so ever. Alright, I will play your little game ATI, I went to their site. Filled out another ticket and a RMA demanding ,in a nice way, they get my video card fixed.

After going to computer solutions to see if they had a better way of contacting them and going to the barns with my uncle to feed my grandpa's horses I returned to check my e-mail. One e-mail! Success! It was a letter that sounded familiar to me, but on the bottom of it showed intructions on how to ship the vide card away to get it fixed! So I packaged it up to get it ready to ship this morning, I will have to contact a currier to get it sent away, hopefully I can do it through The Source.

Ok, so I didn't technically complete the challenge that I had stated before hand. I only lasted 2 and a half weeks, I think it was the fact that I was starting to get bored out of my mind and needed something to read, it was an EGM that I bought by the way. But it did a good job of me not buying the crap I usually do. As long as I don't start smoking I will be fine.
