It has been awhile since my blog has been updated, but principle dictated that I stay focused on getting a job done. A job I had been putting off for some time. I have computer issues and I am working through them, but waited until after Christmas to really dig in deep. Desperation led me to call Dell, the manufacturer of my computers for support. After allowing two individuals into my computer world and later realizing how screwed up they made it, I decided to call on the big boys. So I thought. Who would know computers better than the company I bought them from? Who could guarantee the person in my data is no thief? After fighting through it myself, fearing I would simply crash my own systems, I called Dell and my life went on hold for days on end. It still isn't over. However, I realized I am smarter than I think I am.
After over 72 hours of work, Dell decided I was right. I needed to reinstall my operating system and agreed to help me do so. Much more time later, I was told my OS update CDs were invalid. I had to update to Windows 8, because it was cheaper than a new copy of 7 for two computers, when I have four.
Not only that, I needed a new monitor... which I knew, because my graphics card was more powerful than my original monitor and the desktop barely ran Windows 7 even though its a fast computer. The monitor was holding it back.
Well, I am sending back the second monitor.
And sending four copies of Windows 8 back.
Still getting a new monitor. One I ordered myself, without phone support.
The big boys are just like the little guy right now.. a bunch of weasels.. I should be put on payroll for technical support. I just proved to myself that my own stubborn beliefs are based in actual Faye brain power. It boils down to basic Hall principles. Our money is hard earned, and by the power invested in me, delegated from my husband, I shalt NOT let go of a single cent to a weasel-infested corporation without examining every avenue for possible exploitation. Furthermore, Hall principles state: We never give in to corporate entities that think circular phone systems, terrible English and possession of a life will prohibit us from busting corporate chops. In summary: Once you take a day out of my life on hold, it becomes an ethical issue.. and I'm a HALL. Mrs. Hall. And I am a relentless adversary. Dell. Get on your knees.
Now its on to calling to get all this Crap sent back with a nice Piss Off.
I think I'm going to write another letter to Michael Dell. The last letter I wrote got results. I'm disgusted with being on hold. If I were not a home based business I could not have done all this on hold bullshit. Time is money. And they wasted mine.
