........I was so happy that I am finally getting older when I was 21.
Because I can drive, I can drink, and I can do anything I wanted.
But ever since my age comes around to 24 and up going to be 25...though at the time I write this journey, I am still 9 months away from being 25.
(( BTW in Thailand when you are getting 25, they believe that many bad things might happens so guys or girls should doing good things for the sake of their own life))...which I believe that too.
Aight I feel that I have some rough time this year.
Lets start with JOB.
JOB is the most important in your life, if you are not born rich, though you born rich, you still want to have a good job, great pay, and great social at work. It doesn't goes well.
Since the economy down turn, things are heading hell. I made a fraud sell to fraud buyer. I lost $15,000 on my items. The Indonesian customs stop the import devices, but do not want to return them to me. I was very frustrated.....but they said there is nothing I can do about it.
Not even that, I spent 3 full months doing my work on some web-site, and marketing it. Well, for this economy time.....I sold none until today. Good things still on my side, I am not a sale man....I am a technician. So that how I survive with this job.
Next is relationship.
I am in the unsure status with many of person i am dealing with. It all seems like bunches of people likes bad guys.
How?
Example, when I try to help my company's customer out, of course I have to act like a nice man, talk nice to them, and being nice to them, to learn and care about their problems.
Not with the VP (he called himself) guy. He talked to the customer like "YOU WANT IT OR NOT, IF NOT YOU CAN JUST LEAVE". .....am I weird or American people weird. Cause that customer seems to scare of the VP and decided to buy items.
(on the note, the VP is most hatred guy here in my office)
Uhhh... I was off the 2nd main topic a bit.
Anyway my relationship with girls and woman this year is off. I do not have girlfriends for at least 14 months now. I mean, I ain't bother by that type of loneliness, but if I have one that would heal my heart a lot. Though I speak of that, I still don't want to experience the same painful ship as I used to be.
Next is CAR.
As you all know that I bought 2007 Honda Civic in 2007 07 07 :P .
I am happy with it ever since before I have problem with it.
Sometimes around 2008 09 XX, someone hammered my car on the driver's door. its not that much damage, but it would cost me $350 to change the door plate cover.
Sometimes around 2009 04 XX, someone decided to back up their car onto my rare mirror....on driver's side....again. Its not that much damage, but it cost me $220 to get new rare mirror works.
Sometimes around 2009 09 XX, my car itself decided to go out of brake plates. Its not that much of hurt my feelings, but it took $179 out of my pocket to fix it. (that price include oil change :P )
Next is COMPUTER.
I bought my DELL Desktop and HP Laptop in this year. I purchased DELL sometimes around 2009 01 XX, and HP sometimes around 2009 04 XX.
Anyway, on 2009 05 XX my DELL's monitor decide to act up, I know it is because I moved that PC around a lot, and it damage monitor card. So I decide to stop moving it, and use it as my server.
But on 2009 10 12, the journey I will never forget with HP begins.
I was playing World of Warcraft on 2009 10 11 at night and my PC have no problem at all. And in the morning I decided to turn off PC and goes to work is usual. Once I got to my office, the bad sign of hell started. My PC pop up some blue screen with memory error, which in PC world we call it "BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH". Which is basically driver's problem, so I decided to log my PC onto safe mode, and go to HP website, to download original driver. However, once I did it and change the driver my PC act up and doesn't even want to load. So I thought its the PC driver problem, then I decided to restore my PC.....and that is how my frustrated begin.
HP restore system takes over than 1 hour and a half to load up all function and format and restore my hard drive. However this laptop have built in ATI video card, which mean if while installing the windows, if the PC not install video driver and PC turn back on, I will not be able to see anything on my screen, which someone call "Black Out". So thats what I experience, so I called HP customer service.
First thing I heard from HP customer service is to give them my S/N and P/N numbers, and once they got those, all they will say is "Sorry sir, but your HP computer is already out of warranty, if you wish for us to fixing your problem your will need to buy extended warranty" (which in this case the warranty is for HP Indian's tech to just tell you how to check memory and decided if its good or bad, which if its bad you have to send PC to HP and fix which they said I have problem with my chip set on motherboard which will cost me $298 to fix it.....fir 155 days old computer?....I dont think so HP)
Anyway, they said that I can talk to HP chat online to have them figure this problem out for me for free.
But for Christ sakes, I CALLED BECAUSE MY PC HAVE A PROBLEM, AND I TOLD THEM THAT I CANNOT LOAD WINDOWS, SO HOW THE HELL IN THE WORLD I WILL BE ABLE TO CHAT WITH HP TEAM ONLINE?.
Alright, so I manage to pull out my 5 years old MAC laptop, which I never have problem with it and chat with HP, they said their might be some problem with my restore partition on Hard Drive, so I have to PURCHASE restore CD from HP (i thought i bought this PC and I have a right to get a copy of its original software on the CD for FREE!)
After all the curse I pu ton them they said they going to ship the Restore CD for me for free, so I paid for over night shipping which cost me $32.00, but however when I got the CD, there is a receipt on the envelope said $18 shipping $14 CD...........HP LIED TO ME!!
But I am not going to let that gets over me, so I start to restore my PC. AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN, my PC goes black out while I try to restore.
So i called HP because i was so pissed off, and HP tech said they are not going to do anything if I don't pay for insurance.
So I asked, "If I pay you(HP) $2XX.00 for 1year extended warranty and the problem is not solved, CAN YOU REFUND?"
I keeps asking this question 10 times till they said NO they will not refund.
So HP, whats the point for me to buy your insurance where your TECH couldn't even help me out?.
Alright, so i decided to chat with HP again, they asked me did you check your memory, I said yes and it has no problem, then they asked "did you check your harddrive?" I said yes, I CHKDSK all the time, and defrag all the time and never have any problem. Then they say so its problem with my Chipset, I will have to ship my laptop to HP for fix estimate $298.00
SO HP if I pay you insurance, that's all your TECH GOING TO SAY, so why the hell IN THE WORLD WILL I PAY FOR STUPID MOTHER FUCKING TECH TO TELL ME THAT?
So i decided to go to Walmart, buy Vista CD, and create restore CD myself, restore CD my OWN NEW VISTA CD, and download drivers FROM OUTSIDE OF HP WEBSITE.
and everything is good now....and I don't even see my problem with my chip set....thanks you teaching me HP....that I should not use any ORIGINAL shits from branded computer.
That's my journey for today, thanks for reading.
