Ice cream: Check
I’ve had my fill of cie cream for a bit, finishing this episode of Entourage. Once it’s done, I’ll start up on the next Guessing game. This one may or may not be harder.
Here I guess
I’m bored, I’m still a little bit sick. I’m not sure what I’m doing up at 2:30, but I am. I just finished a World Issues assignment. That’s about all I have to say. Peace.

Define: Fickle:
erratic: liable to sudden unpredictable change; “erratic behavior”; “fickle weather”; “mercurial twists of temperament”; “a quicksilver character, cool and willful at one moment, utterly fragile the next”

I love google. This word only came up when a certain word (7th from last in rant) wasn’t reconized as a real word on spellcheck.net (which I also love). It seems to describe this quite well to say the least.
I’m still in insane-energized mode from blogathon. Sitting here dancing, in a good mood.
Then some people were complete asses and just plain mean on dofus. This lead me to a rant about how people have no honor anymore. This completely sickens me that I even have to write this. I hate ranting, and when you’re forced to rant about something that shouldn’t be an issue it makes it worse. I attempted to keep it clean, but vulgarity slipped itself in there. So I’ve put it in the extended to keep it from anybody who may be offended by it. So look in the extended if you want to see it.
Bah, I’m going to find something else to do. I need to wait for certain people to come online to help me out on dofus, I’m done playing fair, everybody is playing dirty so I need help playing dirty. Until they come online, I need to find something to make me feel better. I hate when people play dirty, it ruins the fun for everybody else. Bah -.-

Hand Tied
So I’ve figured out why I stopped blogging: I ran out of things to talk about. So in thinking of things, I thought “why not do somr random picture shit?” then remembered I only have my camera phone. So I may look into picking up a cheap digital next week, I miss taking pictures of everything and anything.
Anyway, this is what I have for you now:
Chriss Angel: This guy fly. Forget all his other tricks, I just want to fly. Check him out on youtube, I like this one myself. I want to fly!
Ok, so it wasn’t a lot, but it’s better then nothing. Feel free to send me topics or questions of the sort and I’ll blog about them, no matter how stupid. Let me have it readers!
Oh by the way, the title of this is Hand Tied because out of boredom and to im prove my typing speed I’vr decided to strap my left hand to the back of my chair, so all of this was donr with my right hand. Time to type it all up: 5minutes 49 seconds. Still a ways to go.
I’m Back!
A lot to say, so I’ll group it up.
Site:
I’m working on building it back up. In my fit of fury, I deleted most of the site. A lot of the content was and is still scattered around, but is in pieces of badly coded crap, so won’t work correctly. I’ve gone through stuff and deleted what I know is garbage, but have yet to decide what I’ll be putting up on the site. I’ll also work on a better layout once I decide what will be the content of the site. May just make it the Empire and this blog. Think that will be my best bet.
Me:
- Well, since my last post where I said I’ve moved out: Still in the same spot, though getting highly bored with it. By the end of the lease, I’m going to be gone, I’ve been in this town way too longl.
- Still have the same job, but have become bored with it. I do it and do it well, but I can’t see it progressing my life any. So if I can move up in the company sometime soon, cool. If not, guess I need to take my talents elsewhere.
- Was in a relationship for just over a month, broke up less then a week ago. To be honest, not sure why I was even in the realtionship, we had so little in common. Oh well, it happens.
- Had my gmail and my 7-year old hotmail account bruteforced (hacked). So lost them completely. Eventually got Google to simply suspend the account after 2 weeks. A lot of help that does, sure they already have gotten anything they wanted from it. Yet to get my hotmail back, not even going to bother.
Now:
So that brings us up to now. I’ve been getting fucked by everybody, and it’s over. I’ve become soft, and I’m sick of it. Fuck emotions, they get in the way. No more little 14 year olds attacking my accounts between their weekly circle jerks, no more whores who run my bank account dry because they can’t hold a job and sure as hell no more cocky newbie boss telling me how to do my job.
So the Bitch is back, so expect me to actually start doing shit I like doing again. I’ll be updating the site, blogging, maybe doing some graphics again. Yeah, definitly time for a change.
Word.
I haven’t blogged forever, and choose not to now. I’ll blog later. Don’t ask me when that will be or I’ll kill you. YEs, I’ll honestly come to your house and kill you.
Have a nice day.
Telus Wars III: Return of the Dumbass
I swear, they know when you say something good about them. So now it’s the 3rd time I’m going to blog about Telus here.
Forward: I had a feature set up on my cell: $15 for unlimited text & picture messaging (it’s like 15 cents for each text and $1.50 for each picture otherwise). It wasn’t associated with a plan, it was extra. So that was like the only thing they got right on my last bill.
I recieved a call last night (on the cell) from Telus at 9:30pm. They were asking for my Dad (as the account is under his name, but the phone is under mine). I asked if they could call back on the home phone, and the cell died. They never called back.
So I called today, to see what it is they were calling about, and making sure it wasn’t anything to do with the payment (that was paid on the 15th, 2 days after the bill came). They said it wasn’t, and the payment went through no problem. So he starts looking to try and find out why they called: He has no clue, there isn’t even a record of them calling. He checks to see if there is any promotions ending, promotions I’m available for, ect: There isn’t.
So then he looks to see if I’m over my minutes: I’m not even half way through. He then looks at my text/picture messages: 91 total; 19 of them text all the others picture. Now here is the kicker: There is no record of me being on a plan anymore for them, so they’re charging me individually. I’m sorry but that’s bullshit.
Me: “You’re fucking kidding right?”
Him: “No, it seems to have been removed when you changed your rate plan.”
Me: “Oh? So then that was included with my rate plan then?”
Him: “No, it was an extra feature.”
Me: “Extra feature? You mean it had nothing to do with rate plan, and therefore you have to remove it by itself.”
Him: “Yes.”
Me: “So then I removed it?”
Him: “No.”
Me: “So then it is still there?”
Him: “No, we removed it. We assumed..”
Me: “…You assumed that you could remove it without my permission and charge me ten times as much? I believe that you have to notifty me when you change my contract. I wasn’t notified.”
Him: “I’m sorry, we’ll put it back and it will be added next month. But you’ll still be charged for the ones used this month.”
Me: “So I’m going to be charged extra because you changed my contract without notifying me because one of your employees is a dumbass? I want to speak to your manager in this case. If I’m going to be paying an extra $50, I want something out of it. I want to see somebody get fired.”
Him: “Umm, there is not need for that. I’ll add it now and it will take place as of the first of August. Sorry for the inconvience.”
Me: “Oh good, I knew we could find a peaceful resolution. So what is your name again, just so I know who I was talking to for when you over charge me when the bill comes.”
Him: “Jason. And I’ll add the notes, we won’t over charge you.”
Me: “Good, if I see the extra charges, I’ll have them forwarded to you. Anything else?”
Him: “No. Anything else?”
Me: “Other then the echo of a mindless drone? No. Have a nice day.”
*click*
If it wasn’t for these jedi mind tricks…I swear, the people they hire. I’ve come to the conclussion that 98% of the people that work in customer service are morons. It’s true, nobody knows what they’re doing. I could say that I had a plan where an elephant comes by once a week to sit on my phone and they would have to go ask the manager what button they push to add it.
Stupid people piss me off.
UPDATE: I just got a call from Telus, they asked me how the service from the customer service rep was. I replied “He was good, he did exactly what he was told. Though it would be much better if you would stop changing stuff and over charging me. So yes, he did as he was told your service is just pathetic.” They replied “Ok, thank you for aiding us in our study.
No.
No, but I’m her daddy.
Those who are supposed to know what this means, will. Those who don’t, you’re not cool. I so wish I could have said that when it would have been funny. Yeah, it’s 5am, leave me alone.
Telus
Telus: A phone company. In this case, a cell phone provider.
Customer Service: People who think they know something, but are pulling it out of their ass.
So I got a HUGE cell phone bill today, and it was really messed up. I had called Telus on July 1st and asked them to change my plan from the $20/200 local minute plan to the $50/400 anywhere minute plan. She told me that since it was already the 1st, the pervious plan is already in effect. However it will change as of the beginning of August. So I’ll still have the $20/200 local for the month of July. Ok, that’s fine.
Now today’s bill is the problem: They charged me for the $50/400 mintute plan on my July 1st-July 31st bill. However, they only actually gave me the 200 local minute plan. So I talked a total of 414 minutes in July. If they gave me the $50 plan, it would be $50 + (14 x $0.25). Or if they had kept me on the $20 plan, it would have been $20 + (214 x $0.25). It’s higher but it’s still would be fine. Though that’s not what they did. Instead, they did $50 + (214 x $0.25). So they gave me the royal screw job there. So I decided to give them a call.
Me: “Hey, I think there is a mistake on my bill. You charged me for the $50 Talk Canada plan, but really only gave me the $20 Talk plan. So you charged me twice for all of my longdistance, as well as any local over the 200 mark.”
Telus Customer Service: “Well you see, the plan on the bill is actually the plan for the month to come.”
Me: “But the minutes are for the month that past. So if I’m paying for the minutes used for a month that hasn’t come yet, the minutes are being effected by a month that was already paid for. That makes no sense.”
TCS: “That’s a little right.”
Me: “So if I’m paying for the plan in advance, but paying for the minutes past, why not charge me for the minutes I haven’t used yet?”
TCS: “Because you haven’t used them yet.”
Me: “Really?! Well then how did I use the plan already? Did I talk on my phone and then come back in time to pay for it? It sounds stupid.”
TCS: “Well we can’t determine how many minutes you use..”
Me: “But you can determine what plan I want to use a month from the time I’m paying the bill?”
TCS: “Yes.”
Me: “So Can I determine that next month Telus will hire customer service that will know what they’re talking about?” TCS: “No, we don’t know about the future of the company.”
Me: “*laughing* Glad we cleared that up.”
*I hung up*
Notice how all the people who should have been shot at birth end up working in customer service? It drives me nuts. I’ll call back tomarrow and hope to get somebody with a brain, I’m sure there is at least one that knows what a cell phone is within the building. I hate stupid people.
Jack Thompson
So Ctrl Alt Del has a nice piece written up about Jack Thompson today, and I feel that I just have to comment. I’ve heard of this guy before, and I thought even then that he was an asshat. I mean it’s kind of stupid to put all the blame for things on video games. If a 13 year old was playing a game aimed at a 13 year old and did something, fine. In that case you could put some blame on the game makers; but to go to the point of lawsuit is retarded. Unless the kid bought the game(Which most 13 year olds wouldn’t) you should first point blame to the person who gave that child the video game.
To continue with that thought, games aimed at 13 year olds (Rated ‘T’, ‘E’ or ‘K to A’) aren’t ever the games that are being blamed for stuff. Why? Because they’re aimed at 13 year olds and the ESRB knows what they’re doing! It’s always the ‘M’ rated games (17 years old or up) to blame. And it seems that most of the complaints are in reference of people under 17. I wonder who gave them the game…the parents maybe?! If anything, the parents should be kicking themselves in the ass for being so fucking worthless. The rating system is there for a reason. If you don’t take the time to look into it, that’s your own fault you sorry sac of crap.
Now back to Jack: You’re an idiot. Does it make you feel good that you’re helping people be stupid? Dumbfuck. I’m not going to waste any more words on you.
Conclusion: It’s stupid to blame video games for what the users do. The video games aren’t telling you to do it. If the majority of users started shooting eachother with rocket launchers we may be on to something. Until then, you can’t prove that the stupid people that are doing shit wrong are directly leaded to video games. Next you’re going to blame Atari for when people try to bounce balls off eachother. Assclown.
