I need a drill seargent
So two hours have passed since I woke up and I've managed to smoke 3 cigarettes and make myself 2 decaf espressos. I'm writing this as well. All my email accounts have been checked. I am procrastinating like crazy! Working from home is hard for me... I need to be in an "environment." Whatever that is. I need a job!!
I'm a bit PO'ed at De/Vision. I recently purchased their "Remixed" CD and it will not play on my computer. It says on the back "Will not play on PC or Mac." Well sheesh I wish I would have known that since I do not own a CD player and this also prevents me from ripping it and listening to it on my MP3 player. I know this is an attempt to keep people from copying and sharing, but I paid for my CD and support the artists I like! I rarely share, too.
Speaking of CD's. I bought what I thought was a legit CD of a promo for "Burning Empires" on eBay, and I got a burned unlabled copy in a rat ass generic card sleeve with a bubble jet label taped onto it. I was mad about it and sent an inflammatory (however, articulate) email to the seller who then wrote me back in ghetto speak and refuses to refund my money claiming I will "Copy it before sending it back."
I stated that I already owned a burned copy (like so many other people - it's a rare CD) and why would I pay $35 for fake goods? They then tell me they didn't know it was fake and that was how they bought it so I can kiss off. ... I feel like I have some kind of claim about this... even if the seller WAS ignorant of the CD's fakeness, they represented it as real on eBay and I think they should refund my money. Why should I have to pay for their ignorance? Granted, I was a bit hot headed in my initial email to them... maybe I should be punished and eat the $35 for my trigger finger?
Poll being screwed
Okay this was a rant... sigh, I didn't mean to but it just all came out. :/
Something positive... something positive... hmmmm
Ok. Some ads that I made, which have a very creative and humorous bent to them, were approved by one of our clients who usually doesn't go for that sort of thing (They are on-line/career education and all their ads look like bland tan with text links). I am happy about that :)
