Moan of the day!

So first of all I must apologise to all of my readers for not posting for several weeks. This has been down to the lack on internet.
Today's moan is being stuck without the internet and feeling lost and bored. Moving to University for the 3rd year I needed to set up a new internet connection with my flatmates. However, it isn't as easy as it sounds when you are stuck in an area unable to support fibre optic cables, and everything then has to go through the beloved BT service. As we registered for a 9 month contract with Virgin on the 26th, we have had to wait to today the 12th before our internet line was sorted out. It has been a testing time, full of old fashioned games, books and witty stories,
Surprisingly, I coped rather well without the internet, and found myself going to bed early and getting up early. Without the world wide web I found a routine, but was hindered in my activities, contact and work. I needed the internet to feel sane, and post and update my status. Thank god for mobile facebook, or it may have been a rather depressing period of my life.

Companies should be more efficient with setting internet up, and not tell you to track your order online when they know you haven't got the internet.

Top 3 Moans This Week

1. Internet connection - why is it that the internet fails at every opportunity when something important needs to be sent or done. It seems to be a hinderer on my life. For instance I was staying at a hotel which advertises free Wi-fi, however there was no verified certificate so I could not connect for the whole trip.

2. Leaving packing to the last minute - I always manage to leave my packing for going away to the exact last minute. Suddenly I am full of stress and rage as I try to gather all my clothes for the next academic, doing washing at late hours and remembering that I haven't packed a tooth brush.

3. The Company - I have been trying to contact a companies account department and every time I ring up the person refers me to them, however it is always an answer machine for all their employees. I want to speak to someone human so I get a refund.

 

Irritant of the day...

So I have been made to wait in for some grocery shopping, which is to be delivered by Tesco, however the order has been made by my relative.

This was the first warning sign  and secondly that they had made an environmentally friendly order, this meant they wouldn't deliver the food in bags. 

So as the man arrives I have to unpack all 60 items individually on the stairs, as of course the kitchen is too far way from the door.
Don't think helping the environment paid off in this case, as they still wrapped fresh meat in bags anyway!

Irritant of the day: Server too busy, Moan Moan.

The phrase everyone begins to detest, as it grows on you like an annoying flea pest. How is it in this day and age that the internet can be too busy. With so many internet users online daily for up to 2hours as an average the ISP's should be buying more space in order to cope with the intake.

Watching video's can be the hardest thing to do at peak times, as buffering seems to be the largerst pest of them all. Waiting to get to at least 56% before you can even believe taht you will get to the end, and see your well awaited EPIC FAIL video.

Sunday evenings appear to be one of the busiest times for internet users, as the riff raff all log on waiting out the long dreaded stretch to monday morning.

Get it sorted soon, as customers are already frustrated as the lack of connection speed in which we get. Don't make yourself be the epic fail. Be brilliant, let us search in less than a second!
