Tomorrow never comes...

A special thanks to my boss (aka "Choker") for the memorable quote used to begin this posting.

The quote was inspired by my e-mailed response to his query regarding when the forecast for this month's numbers would be ready. Since they've always been published on Tuesday for the past 4 or 5 years, I politely responded "Tomorrow". He wistfully e-mailed me back, tears in his eyes as he typed it, no doubt, "Tomorrow never comes...". Oh, my! I'm gonna need a second to compose myself....

Okay, that didn't take long.

As I gleefully announced earlier, my home PC is back among the living, albeit minus everything that was stored on it prior to May 8th. I'd like to thank the following for their support, or lack thereof:

• HP Tech Suport - particularly "Eric" whose command of the English language made what should have been a 15-minute call turn into 2+ hours of living hell.
• And to the SECOND HP Tech Support person, name unintelligible, who drove me to pop two Vicodin after ending our call.
• HP Customer Service - for their reassurance by telling me it's normal for the hard drive to crash within the first year. "We expect it...", she chirpped.
• HP Customer Service (again) - for sending me to CompUsa where I was told that "we don't honor HP warranties".
• HP Customer Service - (yet again) for relieving my bank account of $75 for an extended warranty, without telling me it wouldn't cover any repairs for the first 30 days after purchasing it.
• CompUsa - for trying to make my shopping experience so pleasant by encouraging me to order online for in-store pickup, and then putting a moron in charge of handling the transaction when I went in to pick up my purchases. Twenty minutes to ring up a two-item sale? Come on!
• CompUsa (Again) - to Bill, the customer service moron, who not only wasted 20 minutes of my lunch hour to ring up the sale, but also rang it up incorrectly.
• CompUsa (yet again) - to Mike, Bill's equally brain-dead manager, who assured me it would be okay to just go ahead and leave. He would take care of issuing a credit to my credit card to compensate for Bill's stupidity. It's now five days later and there's still no credit to my account. That means another trip back to CompUsa. Maybe I should call in sick so I can spend the WHOLE day there.

In SPITE of all of you, my PC is repaired....by ME! Nya, Nya, Nya!

Tomorrow never comes.....MY ASS!

What we need right now is a kitten war!
