The Joys of Being Me

!$@%ing Technology!

So I'm updating this again. Probably wont be very long. I seem to have lost... not inspiration or interest per say, but I'm defiatey feeling less enthused than what I used to. And not just with this. I dunno. This time of year is doing it's job and getting me down. Again. I should be OK. I just hate feeling like this.

My luck with technology is increasing as always. I got myself a new phone. And then late last week I realised it wasn't sending any messages out. Stupid thing. Only then during the weekend realised I couldn't receive any texts either. Figured there must have been something wrong with the network or something. But then my mum called me up and we had a nice chat and everything, so I left it.

Went to call a mate on Monday, and couldn't get through, calls were restricted or something, and I still couldn't send or receive texts. So went into the shop, and did the whole mobile number, confirm name, comfirm address... yes, this info is the same... what can we do to help? Explained, they had a look, "Oh yes, your accout has been suspended."

WTF? WHY? "apparently the address we have on file is not the same as the adddress for the direct debit. It's eay to fix, just brng in proof of address and we'll de-bar it for you."

Wonder back home, pick up a bankmstatement, thank my brain for working when I put my mum's address down as the address to use. I mean, what if I had put my dad's address down? No, the addresses wouldn't match. They live in separate houses. And only the fact that I probably wont be in this house next year stopped me from putting this address down as my address. Anyway, went back with bank statement, and got it sorted.

HAHAHA! Yeah, right! Over 48 hours after this issue was "sorted" and I STILL can't do anything with my phone.

The thing is, I may be going down to London at the weekend. I have no idea what's happening on that front, Mum and Mark are going down, cos he can't remember it when we went down for a week in the past. In all fairness, he was two. So mum is going down to London, for the 3rd time in 5 months, but this time is taing Mark. And she suggested I meet up with them on the Sunday, and spend the day with them, and come back on the Sunday night.

Works in theory. Train times are another matter. The EARLIEST I can get into London is half 11 or so. And that's about the time they get into London on the Saturday. So in actual fact, I'd see them MORE if I went down on the Sat than on the Sun... but because of my stupid phone, I can't call her up and explain this.

Oh, and on the phone state, I apologise to anyone who may think that i am avoiding you. I am NOT doing it through choice! And it's annoying.... I wanted to Text Lu and wish her good luck for yesterday. So sorry you didn't hear anything from me, I hope it went well.

Right... Food is calling me. This'll do for now. Just allows me to yell at all the lazy slobs (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) to get their asses in gear and POST SOMETHING! Even if it's just a "I'm being lazy... but I'm still alive."

2 Comments:

  • From the girl who works for a phone company

    A) Which network you with?

    B) Have you called you're operator - from a different service

    c) Can you still recieve calls?

    D) Do you have a different number so I can call you and run through a dianostic with you??

    And just for a completely daft thing - have you actually tried switching it off, leaving it off over night and then turning it back on?

    Phones tend to be a bit happier if you do that
