I’ve been Ebaying stuff lately, with decent results. But there’s still a couple orders that have ticked me off a tad.
I bought DK Racing on the 18th, and have yet to receive it. Now, I ordered a TON of other N64 stuff the same day, and it’s all come in. In fact, the last thing to come in was my Goldeneye cart, which arrived almost a week ago. I don’t think it takes this long to ship a cart from CA, does it?
I also bought Liz’s laptop (a Dell Inspiron 600m) a gig of RAM, because it only has 512 in it. I found an Ebayer selling RAM for the model, has a 99.whatever% feedback. Page listed the specs for the RAM. I checked the current RAM in the laptop before buying, and the numbers matched – PC2700, CL2.5. Upon receiving the RAM, what’s it say on the stickers? PC3200, CL3. Sorry folks, but you can’t put 3v RAM into a 2.5v slot. It just doesn’t work. I’m asking for an exchange on that.
Aside from that, work’s been going pretty good. Chris + I had to train some new people today. Although every time they have us do other things our numbers drop, they fully appreciate our skill and ability to teach others. The company owner is coming in tomorrow to inspect the place so the bosses are stressing a tad. I don’t mind it, I’m confident in what I do and the bosses have confidence in me.
We also get free movies at work. You’d be surprised what people leave in their DVD drives when they return their computers. Today alone I came across the third Pirates movie, the third LOTR movie, and The Illusionist. We’ve gotten some other weird stuff too, and yes people have returned their laptops with a porno in the DVD drive. That was a funny one. I was driving home one day after work and my coworker Aaron passes me on the right flashing that DVD in the window, I couldn’t help but to laugh. The next day he barely made it in to work on time, to which I responded “Oh that movie kept you up all night, eh?”
We got our hands on a set of speakers so we can stream internet radio from our station. We can never decide what to listen to, because internet radio has such broad selection. 90s dance plays a lot of unknown club hits, The 80s station plays a lot of sappy love songs, and 90s rock plays too much grunge. Though I did get to Rickroll everyone while the 80s station was playing. That was epic.
I’m really looking forward to the weekend, I can’t wait to hang out with everyone at AG again.
