I am SO Pissed Off!
Jul. 19th, 2006 04:15 pmDon't worry I haven't died or dropped off the face of the earth...and alas there's no good news in terms of an immediate start full-time job at a publishing company.
No, Telstra has screwed me over. All I (and Mum and the big bro) wanted was to switch the phone at the apartment into my name...now you think this would be an easy endeavour, but no sir, not with Telstra. For some reason changing a name on a computer isn't enough for them, they have to change the entire line including wiping out the codes on it that allow me to access the internet.
So! Long story short I can't get on the net! At all!
And that's not the worst of it, the guy at Telstra warned me that this might happen, but he said it would take a couple of hours to fix. Turns out that was a lie, turns out it can take up to a week and usually takes three days. THREE DAYS? Now, my maths is pretty shit, but three days in no way corresponds with a couple of hours!
So, I have two choices, go to a library like I am now and gain access to the net here (this means I can't apply for jobs though, because I don't have my resume online) or two go allll the way back to the parental units's and use their net (which I may have to do if I'm going to hunt for jobs.)
And all because we want to change the name on a fucking bill!
Anyway, I can't hang around I'm afraid, I have to get back to Centrelink and drop my form in, then I think I'm going to have some Maccas and then I have to decided if I want to haul my ass all the way to the parentals or not.
Geeze!
Hmpf. This is one pissed off Moose signing off.
