Thank You Gateway - For Proving You Suck
Sorry for the late delay in new blog posts. My Gateway laptop died two and a half weeks ago. Fortunately, it was under warranty so I called them up, got an RMA number, and sent the sucker back. After it taking a week to get there, they finally started working on it. Apparently (or so they say), it was a problem with the adapter. I don’t see how that is possible, since it was always plugged into the wall and at the time it died, it was at 100% battery power.
It took them a week to order a new adapter for me, because ya’know, it’s not like Gateway would keep something like adapters or batteries in their warehouses, right? They have to order them of course. Alright, fine whatever. So I wait a week and they call to let me know that it’s being shipped back to me.
Two hours ago, the “DHL guy” came up to my door and handed me my box for the laptop. I bring it up to my office (aka bedroom) and take it all out. So far so good. Then I notice that it’s missing half of the adapter. They give me the part with the box that plugs into the back of my laptop, but not the other half that plugs into the wall.
Great job Gateway. I just got off the phone with them and they are sending me another one. That’s great and all and I am happy they are sending me another one, but at the same time, that is a completely stupid on their part to send a customers half of adapters.
School is Out, and Summer is Here!
It’s about time! I am on my third week of summer and absolutely love it. The sophomore year of high school was definitely a lot harder than freshman. However, I made it through with just above a 3.0. Not the best, but not the worst.
The last day of school was amazing. The finals that day were all fairly easy and I was feeling pretty lucky. My luck went up even more when I talked to my Language Arts teacher about my grade and she said she’d raise my ‘B’ up to an ‘A’ if I didn’t get lower than a ‘C’. I ended up getting a ‘B’ on the final, and she told me she bumped me up to an ‘A’. What a corrupt school system (but works for me)!
Just before the final bell rings for summer, our school has this tradition. Everyone takes paper out of their folders and as soon as the bell rings, rushes out to the hallways and everyone throws their paper in the air. You literally are walking through and on paper. The halls are an absolute mess.
Anyway, with summer here, I plan to get a lot more done online, which of course will make me more money than I was making during school. Of course, it will also give me more time to update the site with posts that are actually worth reading, instead of posts about my life that ;].
