WOO FUCKING HOO!!!!!!!! :) I don't think I've posted about this yet, but I've been having big problems with my shiny new Internet USB stick, in that I was being massively overcharged (by my calculations I should have ~$60 left, but my account said I only had $10 left!). I went into the Telstra store that I bought it from yesterday (Telstra's a mobile/telecommunications company here, one of the main ones) and spent a fucking HOUR in there trying to get help, and eventually just stormed out. Which I try to never do, and I swear I was super polite at the start, but after an hour of being jerked around and passed between different people and generally ignored and having no one actually figure out what the problem WAS, I... got a bit pissed. ^^
ANYWAY. The GOOD news is, I called Telstra today and the lady on the phone was finally able to help me. I spent about 15-20 minutes on the phone, most of it on hold while she calculated the bandwidth I've used (which I already did yesterday in Excel, heh), and she eventually came back and said she's adjusted my balance to $71! Which I think is actually MORE than I should have, but it's hard to say - I'm getting slightly different amounts of bandwidth used from different places (my account online and the connection manager on my desktop that came with the stick). She might have forgotten to take the upload bandwidth into account... I DO NOT CARE. I'm just happy to have what I PAID for! OMG yays, $71 left... time to go download last week's TDS/TCR! Jon had Nancy Pelosi on last week and dammit I've been wanting to see it. *jumps around*
...I should be doing something more productive, shouldn't I? XD Finished my report for work this morning, so that's done. Now should be trying to find a job... ehehe. Still feeling under the weather - seemed to have taken a turn back for the worse. And I've got this damned cough which gets worse at night, and makes it hard to sleep... esp since I don't want to be bothering the others sleeping in the room. Sigh. Anyway.. weather's not the greatest today (woke up at 6:45 or so to a really loud storm - crazy winds shaking the house and rattling the windows and such. o.o). Storm's passed now, but it looks chilly out... eh. Should get out anyway, I guess. Dunno where. God I'm lazy. ^^
So, what you ask have I been doing these past few days while sick? Obsessively watching The West Wing. ^^ OH GOD I'm already addicted. I was by the 2nd or 3rd ep. I've now watched the first 11 eps, and went to the video store last night to pick up the 2nd half of s1 (eps 12-22). Why the hell have I never watched this show? I mean, Mom owns the first couple of seasons... I BOUGHT them for her. ^^; Oh well. I think I can understand and appreciate it better now, anyway, since I know more about American politics and such than when I was younger. Plus, I read that Sorkin allegedly based Josh Lyman on Rahm Emanuel. How awesome is that? Also, I love Josh already. :) And CJ, who is so fucking awesome I don't know what to do with her. Holy shit. :)
