I pause in my (just started) babbling about my camping trip (adventure) to complain (heartily) about the SUPER FRUSTRATING time I had dealing with multiple websites yesterday.
There were a number of things I had to deal with, from downloading this thing to signing up with this new system and so on and so forth and NONE OF THEM WORKED!!!
All of the instructions said just do this and this and when I did, they didn't work and I got error messages. So... I cleared caches, changed browsers, restarted systems, the whole nine yards... NOPE! Rinse and repeat. ARGH!
So then I took screen shots, emailed various "contact us here" emails and ate the last creme egg I have.
So, really.... pretty much the stupidest day ever.
Screw you non-functioning websites and stuff! You stole my last creme egg from me!
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
