OK, so I’ve been incredibly tired this whole short week. Work at Megacorp has been odd, since the project lead hasn’t been screaming about things that need fixing “yesterday”. He only has been coming up with minor fire drills that take an hour or two to fix. The only downside is that his fire drills usually start at 5PM and make me late to get home. That leaves a lot of the day to “research” and that’s hard to do when you’re working to keep your eyes open.

Here’s what I found out from Apple. I faxed them a receipt (to confirm when I bought my laptop to prove it’s still under the Applecare warranty) on Monday the 13th of February. I called them back on Thursday because they said processing would take three to five days. They told me to wait some more and it was really five to seven days. I called them on the following Monday and they said their computer was down. I called a day later on Tuesday and they said give it a couple more days because of the Monday holiday. I called today (Thursday), seven business days after the initial fax, and they told me it takes seven to ten days for processing and, by the way, the FAX got chopped off and I had to send them another one. Hell, couldn’t they have told me that on day one?

OK, so I don’t know what that was about. I forgot what I was doing last night, except perhaps looking for something to watch on TV. I just can’t stand watching the Olympics because it feels like it’s being shoved down my throat with added advertisement and cheese. I do remember trying to figure out how long I should wait before calling Apple back since they still think I bought my laptop three months before I did. My warranty should be up in April, not in January. They need to fix my latch. Like anything, though, it’s probably going to take a dozen more phone calls before they do anything.
