Well, PIPEX decided that even though I only had 8 days usage this month before my contract expired that they’d charge me for a full month. I wrote them a nasty email saying I worked it out to £6-odd. Anyway, they replied a few days later saying that they’re not only waiving this month’s fee completely, but they’re also refunding me £25 for the inconvenience! Not bad for a company I’m no longer a customer with.
I mentioned I had a new Customer Service colleague a few weeks ago. He was full of shit and so sure of himself it was stupid. Anyway, he lied to our manager about why he was late, and probably about why he was taking time out of work. He also lied to the director of the company, which is probably not a good idea. Anyway, we ended his probation today and asked him not to come in any more! So, I’m once again without a colleague in customer services. That doesn’t really phase me to be honest – I got more work done without him anyway.
I’ve put my old Line6 Pod XT and also my PS2 on ebay to raise some cash for a bike. They’re ending this week… Hoping I get a couple of hundred for them both.
Okay, so I won the Legend battle, and I haven’t heard anything from them since. What I neglected to post about was my ongoing legal battle with Shah Jahaan, one of the local curry houses. Their driver wrote off my car in July 2005. After many many months of giving statements and postponed court dates, etc, they decided to settle out of court.
PIPEX are still nobs. I told them to take the money I owe them but they’ve yet to do so. I got a letter from them the other day admitting it was their fault, and they were going to take the money. If they delay any longer I’m gonna tell them I’m gonna pay it a fiver a month or something – they’re taking the piss.
Anyway, money’s going on a new axe and a bike. Thinking of getting a Line6 Variax 700 acoustic. What d’you think? I’m also buying the Line6 Pod XT Live to replace my Pod XT as it has a Variax port. Should be fun. I’m looking at Rock Lobster bikes at the moment. I want to get one built for me, but I need to research and make sure I know what I’m doing first. If anything breaks I wanna know how to fix it.
Anyway, I need to do some tidying, and some important Guitar Hero II-ing.
