Real Pissed!

I'm real pissed with my computer dealer. He got me an accounting package software for my other company and told me to use the trial version first which was suppose to be good for 500 invoices. Licence to be arranged later.

Only problem was I have printed less than 120 invoices and the bloody software flashes to me on my monitor, your trial version has expired! Now, that was on a Friday evening. I called him and said that he would settle it for me on the following day which is a Saturday. Not wanting to make a fuss I just said OK.

I called him on Saturday morning and he says that his supplier from KL is on a 5 day week and I just bear with it. Monday then................

On Monday I try to call the bastard the whole fucking day and his mobile is conveniently switched off! I must have called him at least 50 times! I must have cursed him at least a few hundred times in my mind! I keep my cool and call my other partner to try to sort it out. As it is I have tonnes of paperwork to do in the office.

Finally on Tuesday morning he calls me and asks me to send my PC over to his office. He did not even offer an apology! I count to ten and tell myself it's not worth it to lose my temper and give him a piece of my fucking mind! I sent the desktop PC over in the afternoon and left it at his office.

I call him at 6pm and he says should be ready by 7pm. Called at 7pm and he says I'm good to go. Wonderful! Left my office and collected the PC and went home for dinner.

Went to my other office at about 10.30 pm and the fucking software still doesn't work properly. I practically lost my cool......................... Now I have to hand write all the bloody invoices item by item. Contemplated calling him right away and screw that bloody bastard. But deep inside me, i knew that if I called I would not be rational anymore and would probably turn into a shouting match over the phone with all the vulgar words in the English and Hakka vocabulary in my arsenal! Mind you my command of vulgar words is to say, excellent.......!

I'm going to eat him tomorrow for breakfast. BUT I will not lose my temper and start shouting. I have more class than that........ I will be firm but polite. What really pisses me off is his attitude......If he's having problems with his supplier in KL, say so.................

Why is it that when we are nice, people seem to take advantage of my kindness, friendship...........?????

I've experienced so called friends taking advantage but that's another story for another time........... duh......................

Hullo.... ,

I hope you have calmed down since your last blog. :) I can imagine how pissed you were. You sounded like you're ready to feast on your computer dealer anytime., given the chance (lol...)

If little Rachel was in your shoes, I bet this is what she'll say: "Ve......ry Naughty!"

With that, i hope you're consoled knowing that your reactions were Perfectly Normal. :)

But as the chinese proverb goes (according to my interpretation - all liabilities of which are excluded): "The Noble shall not be calculative with the misgivings of the "little" people" i.e. "Ta ren bu ji siao ren guo" ( in hanyu pinyin).

Let's just say, you've done yourself a great favour by not losing it... You're the Magnanimous Man, remember?

Cheerup!
