Unemployment and Dr.'s

What a mess!! Went to the ER in Wausau for my back, of course the Dr. there told me to take off work and asked if i needed a note. Got the note talked to my boss, everything was cool, off for a week with only light duty. So let the paperwork and phone answering begin! Then my Dr. appt. with a surgeon at a private clinic (the ER Dr. set it up) and he says to continue with the pain management (injections into my back) and if they are not working in a few weeks we could talk about surgery. So few weeks a few injections go by and still hurting, and back to the surgeon I go. Lots of paper work, and then got to have a physical before surgery and they schedual that for two weeks later! WTF. said Dr. i am tired of taking pain pills and not sleeping. They brush me off with the fake sympathy Dr.'s are great at and tell me they will call with a surgery date after they get the forms they are gonna send me back. Shit. So now i have been off of work for over two months and I am waiting on an unemployment check. I get a letter from unemployment telling me i need to call because they have some questions and are holding my payments. So have been calling them for a week straight just to get through! Finally get through and they tell me the Dr.'s note says off work completely and nothing about light duty. So calling between my 3 Dr.'s is getting to be a loosing game of have the other Dr. do it and nobody is getting done!
And the waiting game continues...

so just found out the part tha dell replaced on my laptop is the matshita dvd+-r w UJ890. which hasnt been updated since 6/21/2006! what the fuck! whay would dell use a part from 2006 when its 2011? and the parts are only under warranty for 90 days so now its been 140 days since it was fixed so i am screwed! this is some bulllshit and no body at dell even cares! they all just say there is nothing they can do.

Dell inspiron laptop= P.O.S. dell computers in general are a fucking headach. cant understand the tech support, the tech support cant understand you. and the only things tech support say are "sorry for your troubles" but do you think they would do anything! hell no, my laptop has been fucked up since 5 minutes after i took it out of the box. the cd/dvd player/burner didnt work. so called tech support wanted me to pay for extra warranty. i told them i had just bought it and opened the box and its not even 20 mins old. they said they dont cover third party retailers. i told them i bought it brand new from walmart. then i got the phone transfer game so 45 mins later i hung up. i was wanting to import music to my laptop when i found out my problem. so who better to call than the company who is at the top for importing music. Apple. the apple tech guys had my problem fixed in 25 mins and it didnt cost me anything. just lucky my ipod was still under warranty because i dont know if i would have gotten help if it wasnt. so the next dell problem. part of buying the laptop was getting a $100 dell store coupon. as long as you made a purchase over $100 you could take $100 off! and it could be a few items adding up to the $100. i thought great i will go check some things out. so i found a sony bluray player i liked for $160 with free shipping. was thrilled to be getting this bluray player for $60 bucks! so item in stock on the website, placed my order and got the email with all the details. two days later got an email that the item was out of stock and they had cancelled my order. ok so went back to look at the dell site and found a nice speaker system for home computer. went to put in the coupon code and an error came up saying it was invalid. so long story short the coupon is a one time only use so because the bluray player was out of stock i lost out on the $100 coupon. so i called and complained and again they could do nothing. spoke to supervisor who i couldnt understand, had a lisp on top of not speaking english very well. WHAT THE FUCK!!!! so this is the end of any more dell products for my family and myself. will be going with apple products from now on!

count down

January cant come fast enough for me. been waiting almost ten years for it to get here and these last few months/weeks/days just seem to be so slow and draining.
went to a new restaurant today, the food was great, service was fast though the waitress didnt know the prices and seemed to be the only person besides the cook doing anything.
waiting for the droid bionic to get here hopefully on the 9th. have gone through hell with verizon and the original droid. a great phone but verizon's process of refurbing a cell phone suck. i am on my 5th one and have just settled on some things not working right. not even sure if i want to get another motorola phone with verizon. maybe the iphone5 but i will have to see how them both before i hang myself for another 2 years!
been listening to a few new podcasts, and i found a whole new network called "the glory hole radio network" 6 different shows and all are funny! dont think anybody has read a single post of mine yet but who ever does be sure to check out "the jersey jerks show" and "mad scientist party hour" and "the glory hole" these have become my favorite podcasts in ta very short time!
alright enough bullshit for tonight, later!

itunes

apple is supposed to be an advanced company, but their itunes program is lacking in some very simple ways.
here are just a few that piss me off.
covers that wont download, right from the cd to itunes, double check all names for artist and cd title but wont download! but go to the itunes store and there it is spelled the same way!
display duplicates. yep it shows you most of them but sometimes itunes likes to put a 1 at the end of the song name when importing because there is already a song by that name. now that would be fine if it was the same song name but by a different artist, but not when its the same artist jjust different cds!

walker is messing wisconsin up

Growing up I could tell the difference between the teachers that loved their jobs and the teachers that did it just for a paycheck.
If this new bill passes I feel that alot of teachers will loose some of that spark that makes them great. I want my kids to have teachers that love seeing kids learn and help create that spark for higher learning. Hopefully no matter what happens our kids will have teachers that take pride in their job. I feel bad for the teachers that worked so hard and had plans and haved saved for retirement and now might have to work many extra years for half the money even though their was a contract. I think the contracts are a huge point, what is this going to start? A new governer can just void contracts of state employee's? What's the point of a contract if it can just be broken?
