So Vodacom was having “problems” with their 3G network earlier… The whole morning! And so I couldn’t get online and it was frustrating because I wanted to write a blog post but am no longer in the mood to write what I was going to at that time.
I called Vodacom and asked a call center agent if he had any idea when the network will be up again because I hadn’t been able to connect to the internet the whole morning because. He told me that their technicians were working on it and that he didn’t know when the 3G network will be running again. “Oh OK… Well, thanks for nothing and have a good day!” I said as I was about to hangup the phone…
“Well is there anything else I can help you with?” Asked the call center agent. “Um, no thanks. I just wanted to find out when I can get online again. I haven’t been able to do so all morning!” I replied. The call center agent made me think he had a hearing disability when he asked me, “So you are aware that you cannot get online because the 3G network is down at the moment?” “YES! I am aware of that. So yeah, thanks again for nothing. Have a good day!” And I hung up the phone.
What the fuck, man?!
Eskom shut off the town’s power several times today all together. It even happened earlier while I was writing a blog post and because I didn’t save it, I lost it. Everything that I had typed! When the power came back on, I turned on my computer and started typing out my lost post all over again. But not even ten minutes after the power was turned on, it went out and I lost what I typed out, again!
The post that I was typing out was an update to the post, “Drama, Drama, Joy“. But I guess that I’ll just type out that post again sometime this week because I’m just not in the mood to do it now.
Oh how I love hate you when this happens, Eskom!
I haven’t been sleeping as much as I should over the last several days. Waking up at eight o’clock in the morning and staying up until four o’clock the next morning is not doing me any good. But at times I can’t help it. I am either tired but can’t get to sleep at all or I’m just not tired at all. Then I stay awake till I feel physically ill, crawl into bed and only then can I get some sleep.
I plan on going to bed no later than midnight tonight. Even if I don’t feel like sleeping I’m going to lay myself in the bed and lay there until I fall asleep. I have to. I don’t want my body getting more used to this than it already is.
I’ve been tinkering with my K2 style. I changed the font of the headings and edited the comments template along with some CSS to create a speech bubble effect. Those of you who commented before I uploaded my new comments page style will know what it looked like before. Let me know what you think about it. I quite like it.
Several times today were Victor and I on the phone with Kalahari… After more than a few promises of being called back and R51 later was I informed that the orders that I had made using the e-voucher that I had received from my friend Mark, were canceled. This was because they could not verify his credit card. I told them that what they were telling me was bullshit as I had received a few e-vouchers from Mark before and had no problems…
This isn’t the first it’s happened. I’ve received an e-voucher from my friend David that was canceled too because his credit card could not be verified.
Maybe Kalahari has changed their payment gateway and cannot verify international credit cards anymore. Several months back there were no problems. I do not know what is it with Kalahari lately. Fuck knows… I mean, they didn’t even notify me about the orders being canceled.
So I spent the last couple of days with my head at the window, keeping an eye out for the delivery van for about, let’s say seventy percent of the time, for nothing… Stupid Kalahari for not notifying me at all!
