I had no idea what this thread would spiral into...

[Sela]

I ARE BACK!

<3

[Griever]

Welcome back, boss! 

[Sela]

Gotta update this. Busy week being a Neanderthal and cutting down trees with hand axes in 18 inches of snow. Thanks, Liberal Arts!

Anyway, I won't be gone by any means. But I know I owe several of you posts and I promise I'll get them out as soon as I can. But I'll definitely be popping in and out, pokin' about the site doin'' Admin things and generally nosing my way into everyone else's business. Y'all know how I am.

Carry on, soldiers.

[Sela]

Another update. I'll be on vacation from Wednesday to Sunday (17th-21st). I'll probably have internet access, but I want to send out a heads up just in case. If for some reason I'm unable to respond to posts from Wednesday on, I haven't abandoned you!

 But continue to send in your votes via PM, as I will collect them Sunday and post the winners of the Contest Monday morning.

Slainte,

Sela

Sela asked me to update her absence thread for her.

For whatever reason her computer is presently refusing to load Chronicles of Indur, and while Alexander (our technical Admin) is looking into just why the site is being an asshat to poor Sela, it may not be till Sunday that she's around once more.

So, just a head's up that she's been trying very hard to log onto the site, but she keeps getting a "connection has timed out" message.

[Sela]

Thanks, woman! And thanks Alexander!! I'll be posting tonight.

<3 <3

[Lakhesis]

Glad to have you back!

*Rubs hands together menacingly* ... Let the rivalry recommence!!    >=D

Okay. So. Dell is a giant pisshat. My AC adapter/power cord broke (literally, in half). I ordered a new one yesterday for next-day delivery. I check this morning on the order status and it says the estimated time of delivery is 5/3/10. A whole month...

I called Dell and the lady was like "Yup, your order will be sent out on the 3rd of May unless something changes."

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?!  I'm in college! I have papers to write and emails to send! My laptop has maybe a half hour left on it, so I'm using a school computer. This is so... frustrating I could scream and cry simultaneously. I'm feeling super overwhelmed right now.

Sorry for the long shpiel. Basically, I won't be on MSN (~cries~) and I'll try to be on here at least once a day. But I have to use the college computers, so... lskdzifekhrfsuireh. If you need to get in touch with me, forum PM is the way to go, I'm afraid. I'll continue to perform admin duties as well as being as regular as possible with threads.

I'm really sorry guys...

 

[Griever]

Oh, wow... That majorly sucks...  Here's to hoping something does change and you get it earlier!

[Lakhesis]

Gahhh! That sucks, Sela! I hope this doesn't negatively impact your college grades or anything.

Also, did you have to pay extra for next-day delivery? If so, I'd be calling them back, and telling those asshats to refund the amount you paid for absolutely no reason. Or continue to yell at a representative until they finally transfer you to someone who can speed up the delivery.

Seriously. It's customer service. If you make a big enough deal out of it long enough, and hassle someone, and demand to speak to higher-ups without giving up, they will eventually cave and give you what you want. I work in customer service. I know these things.

[Cajun]

I could never work in customer service like that, unless that service was wringing their necks after being hassled... Then I'd excel!

But an update for muh Sela. She's heading to Wally world to see if they carry the adapter she needs. Usually I'd be visiting her right now, which would mean she'd just commandeer my adapter, but alas, I lack munnies. ._.

[Sela]

SUCCESS

Miss me?
