I Hate This! Blog

My first problem is that I hate sleeping. It is anthema to me. It takes several hours to get to sleep at night and to ensure I sleep at all I must physically and mentally exhaust myself. I always try to fight sleep off. I usually get up when I feel starting to drift of to sleep. At these times I will often play games on the P.C. or read books. More often than not I find myself at the P.C. writting stories. I belive my hate, (fear?), of sleep started at a very young age and I mainly blame the dreams I get.

Well two years ago, I had as a gift a Palm-top running Pocket PC 2002. I admit that I wasn’t satisfied too much, but I got used of it. It had the usual Microsoft glitches, but anyway it was ok.

Then I have installed the update of Pocket PC 2003 and it was really an improvement. Greek virtual keyboard broke of course and I had to purchase another Greek keyboard software from another vendor (what the hell did you expect, I told you, it’s Microsoft), but at least the resolution had been improved and I had to buy a monster battery because Pocket PC 2003 was draining it as hell, even in the power save mode.

Anyway… due to a sudden rain, the screen of that Palm top had been short circuited, so I set for another one. I was searching for something running Linux, but due to the lack of availability on Linux Palm tops (and especially in Greece) I had ordered a Pocket PC again. Wow. This one is running Pocket PC 2005 and Grrr! The software Greek keyboard won’t run (again, surprise - surprise, but this time I can’t find any software that runs under Pocket PC 2005 properly, my nerves). I had to reinstall the damn thing about 3 or 4 times, to make that crap to install 4 Pocket PC apps properly. I had to rollback my system backup about 3 times to make that crap to run again from sudden failures. I am using it for 15 days, and I have rebooted it more times than I had rebooted the old one on it’s whole two years life.

Pocket PC 2005 sucks. It needs Gay o’ Sync (erm … I mean Active Sync) 4.0 which needs the latest service packs to be installed on the machine it’s gonna be used on. I have to install 2003 SP1 to make the crap run, (at least I was more lucky than the last time I had tried that, because thereafter I had to remove it afterwards, because it had screwed everything), re-install two times the Gay o’ Sync software, because it had failed and won’t let me to do file exchange, got angry many times.

Do you know why Microsoft fails? Because when something works, normal people let it work, they don’t change it. Now Pocket PC 2003 was working and they had successfully turned that into a piece of shit named Pocket PC 2005. Why they haven’t left that thing unchanged? There was really no reason to screw a working thing once again… Baah! Yeah, that’s the truth about all Microsoft products. What was working yesterday, won’t going to work tommorow. I hate this!

One day in school I was having the worst morning ever! I HATE maths and I failed my last test, so my ugly male teacher took me out of the class right in the middle of a test and said “What is wrong with you?” I was dumbstruck. “Huh?”

I’m violating Steven Spielberg’s review policy for “War of the Worlds” and telling you what I think. I was disturbed by the message: Don’t fight terror, and everything will work out. (In contrast, Spielberg definitely fights for his own interests. Security was literally tighter than that for going to the White House to meet the President. No purses allowed. Three wandings by security.)

I hate domestic violence. Of course I do, it’s the right thing to hate. But I really hate it right now, because it keeps happening in apartment #6. It’s not a husband and wife either; it’s a son and mother. She could be his grandmother or aunt, I’m not sure, all I know is she’s very old looking and has little feet. I know this because she leaves her little jelly-sandals at the back door. I’ve only actually seen her maybe once or twice, though I’ve lived here two years now.

My wife was having trouble with her Dell desktop, so I offered to reformat the hard drive for her on Sunday. I’m only moderately computer ignorant, so I figured that I could accomplish this task with relative ease – particularly since I’ve done it before. Or, so I thought…

I still remember the first time I got a paycheck from working at a local fun park. I had worked a lot during those two weeks and was expecting a $300 paycheck. I had already worked up a plan in my head of what I was going to do with the money. And then I showed up to work to pick it up and was totally surprised to see that it was only about $245. I thought they had forgotten to pay me for a day or two so I went to the office manager and explained the situation to her and she let me know that it was a smaller check than I was expecting because I had to pay taxes.

I hate Madonna. Particularly her new song, on which she raps. And I feel really bad about this. See, I’ve never liked Madonna, not much, some of her songs are catchy, and I will dance, but I’ve never really, you know, liked her. I wouldn’t call myself a fan. And now, now she’s rapping. Badly. More than badly.

I hated the “Birth” movie starring Nicole Kidman. I have to ask you, what was the producer thinking? There was no depth to this movie, it was unbelievably boring.

What happened was, after I got my new Canon S500 digital camera home last night, I noticed that there were a couple of small anomalies appearing on every picture. The blemishes are especially pronounced with darker images, but if you look closely, they’re always there. Grumble; I just bought the thing, and I was so delighted that FedEx’s swift-footedness had brought it to me early. I was ready to play, not call Canon customer service.

The SMS memory reaches about a max of 40 short text messages. When the memory exceeds this, it breaks up old txts and moulds them together. So if like me, you wanted to keep some of the txts sent from your loved ones, you have to be very picky about which ones stay, and also keep in check how much space is left. If you don’t, the phone will decide for you.

Can’t use it with more than one PC. 40Gb of portable storage in my pocket, and I can’t use it for moving files.

It has no radio.

Yesterday Windows was recognising it as a drive, not an iPod. iTunes then complained another user was using it. I had to reboot to fix it. Maybe it works better with Macs, but I shouldn’t have to buy one to find out.

I rang SE immediately when the BT connection to my BT headsets wouldn’t hold. In fact, the connection will drop and then reconnect several times within a two or three minute period. So, SE told me that it was probably a battery issue: they sent me a battery and that didn’t fix the problem. SE then told me to update my firmware: I dropped $60 on a DSS 25 and that didn’t work. SE told me my only other option at that point was to send it in: Send it in? Hell no. That’s two weeks out of my billing period, min, and the cost of having it shipped to SE as there is only one service center in the entire US.

I am to the point that everytime my husband leaves the house I hope he gets into a car accident. I hate him with every ounce of my being. I hate the way he treates me - always bullying me around, calling me names and humiliating me infront of people. I am sick and tired of everyone looking at me like “poor her” instead of “what a freaking jerk!”.

Well, it would have to stem from last May when I bought my fourth Dell desktop computer from them. Yes, my fourth, and I will say that the first three were fine, so apparently, Dell has gone way downhill in product quality and customer service.

Back in May of ’05 I ordered a Dell computer. I even added an extra two years of tech support for it as I am not that computer savvy to begin with. Well what does Dell do? They send me double my order. I got two computers, two monitors, two sets of software, and two surge protectors. Now even though I am on my computer 24/7 or so my hubby says, I really did not need two computers. Of course I do live in a two story house and having one on each floor would be pretty convenient, hubby said no. So, it got sent back. Dell emails me a week later saying they received it and would credit my account. I think everything is fine and dandy and get on with my life. I get my credit card statement and Dell had not credited my account. GRRR was the first thing that came to mind; suicide was the second thing after I called customer service and spent the next 4 hours on the phone with Hajib and Frankestro, both whom did not speak a word of English. My third thought was actually sympathy for those who go postal and blow up big companies like this.
