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, as planned I went down to the London Guitar Show and came home with a new trusty axe. It wasn’t an acoustic as planned, but one of those tasty Line6 Variax guitar modellers. It pretty much replicates most types of guitar which is pretty cool. I also got a Line6 PodXT Live to replace my normal PodXT.
Anyway, first time I plugged in the Variax the bottom E didn’t work… Tapped the bridge a few times and the pickup for that string kicked in and seemed okay. Been a bit crackly on a couple of occasions though. Even more worrying is that the PodXT Live quit working all together. So, both are going back to PMT for replacement. On the plus side it means I can swap the guitar for the nicer-looking blue model!
I’ve just got a new credit card. 39% APR or something, which is fucking appalling, but apparently that’s what I need to do to increase my credit scoring, then I might be able to get credit. It’s screwed. I need to get into debt before anybody will trust me. Never had a bad mark on my report – why the fuck should I be penalised?
Went over to Ste’s last night for some Guitar Hero II action, and we had some fun jumping around like twats on the Wii. He’s a mate of a mate and we’ve spoken online for a year or so, but only met last night. Sound guy. Was fun.
Also, like the new domain? I do – it’s all professional and everything.
