Argh. Save me from techno hell!
Thursday, March 13, 2008 @ 3:14 AM Shit. Mozilla is screwed, Quicktime is screwed - and I do not know why I have freakin' Quicktime as my "automatic source of display pictures". Right. Sometimes, I wish computers would make it easier for humans to understand their language. Meer, feminine and girly humans like me who know almost zilch about technology. What is the difference between Bluetooth and a Blackberry? (Shame on me, my mom knows that.) The only things I know about are how to operate a blog, livejournal, chat on MSN messenger, search for anything I want on Google and the works. But throw some technology-infused words at me and I blank out like a ostrich soon going to be roadkill. By the way, slightly off-topic but today I actually made the effort to pop into the iShop to get Henry an iPod screen protector! I was there, and I must say - iShop staff @ Wheelock seem to live in their own world. There I was, a lonely girl by myself browsing at the screen protectors section for 15 whole minutes and nobody even bothered to come and say Hi. It wasn't as though the shop was busy or something. There wasn't ANYBODY there, save for me and a middle aged man and all the staff did was to chat among themselves. Service doesn't seem particularly good there. I had to go up to this slightly bald staff-guy (somehow I think bald people just come across more approachable, dont ask me why) and ask him for some help. And, he SLOUCHED over like some half-eaten mammoth. "Hello," he slurred. "What you want?" (What you want? What a way to greet customers, hmm) "Erm," I replied. "Can you recommend me some screen protectors for iPod classic?" "Orh." And, with these 5 words of 'service', he pointed a finger towards the particularly section and slumped off. GEEZ!! Seriously, can't stand staff with no service attitude. Wanna be in the service industry, at least you must learn to put with all sorts of things right. There's a need to be courteous and inviting even when you just slogged your ass off for the whole day. What for give a half-hearted, "I'm so dead and I wish I really was" look as an excuse? And besides, I was at the screen protectors section already. I asked for recommendations of iPod Classic screen protectors. FYI, you just showed me to the exact spot that I was standing at. Okay, whatever. Gentle reminder to self: Do not work in the service industry in the future. Or at least, try not to! Hmmm, anyway on to lighter stuff. You might realise that I sound really kinda cranky here but thats cos I really am. Mozilla is spoilt so I'm typing on the uber-slow-to-load IE, and I can't view any pictures on my computer cos my Quicktime is spoilt. I have a new pimple on my cheek and chin. I reckon, the cheek is the worst place to grow a pimple! It somehow makes it look more unsightly than other parts. I wonder why. I'm also really hungry. Okay, thats it. Time for maggie mee cooking! I am going off now! See ya soon! By the way, to whoever reads my blog, you are either bored or seriously patient for keep coming back because. I don't update often nowadays. :) Thanks to whoever reads, you are much loved! |
