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......................

Thank you MAS****####!!!!

Thanks to Lily who reminded me to update my blog! ha...ha....

I've had lousy luck with MAS. Last week I flew over to Tawau for a business trip. Stayed at Hotel Emas. My normal hotel, Marco Polo was running full. Was upgraded to a junior suite room.......very nice. Compliments of a business associate.

Then the shit hits the fan...............I'm suppose to take the 4pm flight back to KK the next day. Arrive at the airport at 3pm and am told that flight is delayed. Oh well...not another delay again. Back to bird watching again but as usual chickened out when a beautiful babe strolled by. duh..... Where's my courage? Don't know to be exact!

Ok. No off-topic here. Then they announce that the bloody flight is cancelled at 5pm. Hello....I've been sitting at the fcuking plastic chairs for 2 blooming hours................!!!!!!! Everybody scrams to the nearest check in counter for alternative flight arrangment. I opt for the 1st flight out the the next morning. Then there's the mad rush to get the taxi and hotel voucher from MAS. About 130 passengers or so scamper again and behold............ONLY 2 fcuking counters are manned. The MAS counter staff take an average of 15 minutes to issue each passenger a taxi voucher + hotel voucher.

I finally get my vouchers at 6.30 pm and tired, walk over to the nearest cab with a Mild 7 ciggie in my mouth and said, Buddy, Hotel Emas please. He asks me for my taxi coupon and I showed him my voucher but he says that I need a bloody coupon. Back to the queque again and luckily there were not that many people. I finally hopped onto the cab at 6.45pm and by the time I reached Hotel Emas it was already dark.

Checked in again and since it was a MAS hotel voucher, they allocated me a standard room only. sigh.........The room was banyak kecil bah................and to make things worse, there were little coakroaches in the wardrobe and i had no more spare undies or clothes. LOL!What the heck....pakai balik bah.................Hmmmm...smells nice mate! Called my mates and they picked me up for dinner.

Thinking that the worse was over I decided to retire early and get some zzzzzzzzzzz. Woke up at about 1am in a bloody sweat. The fcuking air con has given up the ghost....kaput.....finito......SHIT! I called the ass oles at reception for SOS/Mayday. They duly come up and find me totally stark naked and sweating as if I just has a orgy with Angelina Jolie! They advise to switch rooms.....Can you believe it......??? At 1am.....I put on my undies and carry my bag/clothes /shoes and walk over to the lift to my other room. I looked like a zombie carrying all my stuff in my undies only.

Finally I settle in at about 1.45am and I have to wake up at 5.30 as the cab was coming at 6am to pick me up for my flight home. So, did not manage to get actual zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

That's it. What a fcuking day! Thank you Malaysia Airlines.

What an experience. I guess there's always a first time for everything.

Cheers.
