I dont know why I haven't felt like blogging this week. previous weeks I've just wanted to blab about everything, but not recently. Last week i was suffering pretty bad pms I think, a couple of days I would be on the verge of tears for no apparent reason.

Not to mention this whole ibook catastrophe... turns out, after lots of phoning back and forth and time wastage on my behalf, the ibook got lost at the couriers warehouse in Sydney. However, this wasn't worked out for almost a week. And if I hadn't been phoning Apple every fucking day, god knows how long it would have taken to discover.

What cracks me up, is they were nice and speedy sending the invoice, and that's been paid already. The girl from Apple who I've been dealing with, seems nice enough, but fuck me, they have terrible customer service. She says she'll call me back, but never does. Finally when it was confirmed that the package was lost, she said she might be able to get on of the 7 ibook that were coming in on the 2nd of Feb for me. Of course this shipment was for orders, but I am now a priority customer, or so they say, so someone else can have their order pushed back. She had told me on Monday that she would definately know on the morning of the 2nd if I was getting one of those or not.

3pm rocks around and still no phone call, so I call her back (and of course I'm on hold for no less than 20 minutes before I finally get in touch with her), and tries to tell me that with the new upgrades, I might have to wait til the new models come in....

I'm like "I thought only the powerbooks were being upgraded? I'm getting an ibook".

Dumb bitch: "oh you are too. uh.. well... I'm not going to know til TOMORROW whether you can get the one of the ones that come in TOMORROW"

me: "what about the 7 that were spose to come in THIS MORNING? the ones that you would know about THIS MORNING and get back to me? "

her: "oh only 3 came in, and 2 more tomorrow etc etc"

Finally fed up, I gave the phone to Billy and with his stern, managers voice, he had a word with her, and tried to get shit happening. So far, she has called once this morning saying 'I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this and my manager is just finding out know whether you can get one of these that came in, I'll call you back very soon. Just wanted you to not think I wasn't calling you back"

I'm over the disapointment and the frustration. I'm just in awe over how retarded these people are, how terrible their customer service is. I mean, it was the couriers fault for the loss, not Apple, but people get your shit together!

When it finally arrives, it will be so fucking worth it. It would absolutely crack me up if a couple of weeks after I get it, the original ibook arrives. If it does, I would so not give it back. Cunts, they deserve it.

ANYWAY, the Australia Day BBQ was fucking awesome. HEAPS of people came through out the day. The rain held off til just after we had eaten, so we moved inside for a couple of hours and then it cleared up and we moved back outside. I was nicely pissed throughout the day, but god damn I paid for it the next day. It was worth it though. I had a great time. Cindy and I were eating left overs for days afterwards too hehehe.

Heather has photos up here. Aaron took pics too, but they aren't up online anywhere. And I've got pics that I promise I'll put up this weekend.

I so want to do it again, since the BBQ is still at my place. but even if its not a BBQ, that group of people were quality company. So yea, there might be more parties in the future.

I'm getting a hair cut today at lunch. Just a trim, but since its 7 weeks til Easter (when I will see mum next) I figure if i trim it now, it will be in need of another cut by the time I see her. I found a place in an arcade across the road from work that charges $39 for a shampoo, cut and blow dry, and they looked pretty trendy/funky. Anyway its only a trim. This will be the third time in my life I've paid for a haircut. And only the 4th or 5th time someone OTHER than my mum has cut my hair, so I'm a little nervous.

I'm also thinking of getting fake nails- like not horrible long ones, definately shortish ones, but I dont know, the gel ones or something. I dont know why I want them, but i keep seeing girls/women with them and they just look so grown up/feminine. I look down at my hands, and they look like kids hands. And I've been biting them pretty badly lately. Even if I paint them, to discourage me from chewing on them and they DO grow, they never last long, as they are really fragile. I wish I had nice strong nails, but never have.

I know I should wait and ask around or try some places out on the burbs to get them done, but I get these little silly ideas in my head and then it needs to happen right away. I can't wait! It needs to be RIGHT NOW! I phoned a couple of places in the city, and the best price is $72 for either acrylic or gel, then $42 for refills and repairs etc. I have heard other people talk about getting their nails done in various suburbs and how much cheaper it is. But is it really that much cheaper? Is it worth the hassle of getting out there? Or should I just go for the convience of the city places and risk paying more?

blah blah blah, anyway, typical impulsive me will probably just pay whatever to get them done instantly.

TOmorrow, we're all having a pub lunch at omalley's for paul's last day, which could be drunkenly disastrous, judging from the last time we all went to Omalleys (bosses included). The social club had also booked another bowling game at Strike Bowling for tomorrow night, so hopefully we are NOT all too maggot come 5.30pm, and no one throws up in the bowling lanes or something. hehe.
