...to act the spoiled, pretentious, liberal arts college student that I am and whine about all the shit that has gone wrong in my life.
Well, starting off, I feel like I am super old and will keel over at any minute. I had pneumonia four times from the time I was 3 to 7, once over Christmas, and mysteriously over my winter break I developed a kidney infection, pneumonia, and mono all at once. Thanks, God, you're really ironic and funny.
Secondly, this morning I slammed my fingers in my desk drawer. Fuck.
Thirdly, my life has epically sucked even more in the last three hours. I slammed my hand in the door of my dorm (same hand as the drawer) and had to go to the emergency room. Diagnosis: two broken fingers. When I get back from the emergency room, the one thing I want to do is lie in bed, wallow in self pity, and listen to my iPod. I had just turned off my iPod and put it away when I headed to the door to go to the dinner and ended up breaking two fingers. I get back from the ER, fumble to turn on my iPod with my stupid finger cast, and ... YAY it's broken, and just like 3rd generation Nano iPods are breaking all over the country. Oh and it has broken exactly 12 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. Yeah I have only owned it for 84 DAYS.
The thing wouldn't turn on, wouldn't reset, and my computer would only detect it when I plugged it, but it would detect it by telling me it ... couldn't detect it. : (
So basically, my life is a big black hole full of shit right now and it's really making me sad. Ok, the iPod thing is a little superficial, so let me continue whining about it.
So when it wouldn't turn on, I called AppleCare because I spent $200 to buy that service for my iPod and Macbook, adding what appears to now be an unnecessary $200 onto my Apple purchase. My booklet says it is open from 8AM to 8PM. I called at 7:31. It said the hotline was closed at 6PM. PISSED OFF NOW. I go through the automated iPod service, which tells me to reset my iPod, which hasn't worked the first 10 times I did it, but hey, why not try again? Yeeeeep still not working. Then I say "representative" to get a representative and the automated man just repeats the entire speech. Fuck you automated iPod man.
I put in a service order online, which will send a box to me so I can send in my iPod and receive diagnosis. Well, guess what? It won't send a box to a PO box ... which is my address at college.
So I have to have the box sent to my parents house in Oregon and they will have to send it to me. I can only send the stupid iPod in 10 days after I put in the service order. It'll probably be to my parents house by Friday but my mom won't be able to send it till monday. That takes away two of my business days there. The mail ladies at my college are slower than molasses, so that cuts about four days there. That means my iPod has to make it to wherever the hell Apple headquarters is within four days, unscathed. : ( I would send my iPod priority but I don't know if I'll have the money. : S And I am pissed off that I will be without my iPod. Oh and if my iPod is truly fucked, I won't get it back - they'll just send me a new one. Do you know how long its going to take to sync ALL my music onto my iPod again? YEAH A LONG TIME.
Plus, what will I work out with? What will I run with? How will I walk to class and casually ignore people trying to talk to me?? I need my iPod to retain my sanity as an antisocial liberal arts student majoring in creative writing and psychology!!!
So, in conclusion:
My finger hurts, my kidney hurts, I can't stop coughing, and I miss my iPod already.
Wow, I sound like such the spoiled, whiny, pretentious brat, but whatever. I needed to vent so I DID.
