Friendly Apple Web Assistance?
I was trying to have a friendly conversation with the web chat help with Apple and this is what I was given…
You are chatting with Channing M, an Apple Expert
Hi, my name is Channing M. Welcome to Apple!
Hello
Good evening.
Hello!
How may I assist you this evening?
I have an odd request… hope yo ucan help!
I will be happy to provide assistance.

You must though, it would be so much to me
Do you want me to keep using htis crappy Windows computer…

This chat is designed for shopping assistance, no one here has any way to give you a computer.
May I speak with a supervisor that can then? This is shopping.. I am shopping for a freebie!
The number for Customer Service and Sales Support is 1-800-676-2775.
So you are telling me there is no generosity or compassion for someone asking and in need?
What is one freebie? Would it really hurt you to help someone in need?
I work in a call center, I am not in an apple store or warehouse, All of my resources are to help you purchase a computer from our online store.
Do you own a Mac at home? Or windows?
Mac
Is it better than Windows?
This chat is designed to assist Apple customers with product related questions. How can I help you today?
What Mac do you own and for what uses?
I am asking questions about Mac/Apple….
Why are you being rude and unresponsive? Are you a web script…
Do you have any shopping that I can assist you with tonight?
Sure… what Mac is best for gaming, web surfing, and emails?
I like to play Wow, a lot!
I’ve asked you repeatedly to stop this behavior. I am now required to end this chat. If you would like to work with us in the future, please contact us at 1(800) MY-APPLE. Goodbye.Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat us again.
I mean, seriously, was I out of place or acting irregular? I don’t see what request to stop my behavior… I think I should forward this to Apple Customer Support for a response.
Any thoughts on this?
Server Issues…
Not quite sure what has been happening over at the new home of the web-server, Augustine.com, but within the last week several issues occurred. I’ve lost one of my email account users which I can’t re-create because it “already exists”, both of my websites macdynamix.com and freakytj.com have been down several times, and to top it off the person in charge, Mark, whom I spoke with on Friday said he would return my call within 10 minutes which wasn’t the case.
All I ask is that you either call back when you state you will giving me a ETA on when the issues may be corrected. I’ve missed some correspondence from the down time which was very crucial to some of the matters I am dwelling in.
Fun Times, Reverting to a backed-up HDD
Joy to me….
In short, I had cleared my main internal HDD to install Leopard. Unfortunately I feel my trusty ole’ mirror door dual G4 is just not up for Leopard-esque computing.
So, now I’m fighting with trying to get my backed up Tiger HDD on an external FireWire drive cloned back to my internal HDD! Fun times indeed.
***UPDATE*** removed drive from FireWire enclosure and set it up internally; copy to main drive went smooth besides one file which encountered a I/O error. In the end I’m satisfied with the final results!
Now, just need to replace my FireWire enclosure. Leaning towards NAS, any good recomendations?
Life Road Block
Utterly lost and misguided is all I can say…
I believe I know what I want, but in my life right now it seems a road block, hazard, or obstacle has blinded my path. Just so many objectives I wish to accomplish and they seem to get ever so distant as days melt by. I have such deep intentions and want to be successful, but why must it be so hard? No help to be found! Have I lost my drive and insight… do I continue? Where are my answers damn it.
Xbox Live Banned My Gamertag….
I ultimately do not know whom or what authoritative figure made this call, but my gamer-tag was banned and I’ve owned it for several years; hell, I have even been a proud XBL member since the original Ghost Recon on the Xbox! I sincerely can’t believe that when I go to sign in I am presented with some whacked messaged that my gamer-tag is not in accordance with their policies. Then it offers for me to change it and then the Xbox360 loops in a sequence telling me I can’t change my gamer-tag unless I am signed into LIVE, but I can’t because my gamer-tag is banned… freaking awesome Micro Soft!
What is most puzzling is that if my gamer-tag, XboxDruggie, was out of accordance this entire time why is it only now, years after registering that it is banned? Especially without any warning or even course of action within a timed manner. Just cut me off from the service I’ve paid for upfront.
I really hope there is an amazing explanation because I plan on emailing and calling whatever depart head managers I must to have this explained as to “how” it is out of their accordance of policy!
Also, Mr. Major Nelson, if you happen to read this please enlighten me to this tragedy!
UTW Broken…
Yes, I know this isn’t anything new to anyone out there… although I do miss my comlex and Tag clouding goodness that was UTW! not to mention that WP 2.3 also borke other sidebar scripting that i had spent enough time on to make myself proud about.
Is there an new alternative to the built in lame tagging that I do not wish to deal with it? Why do the Devs of WP insist on breaking something that is already good!??!
Screw Palm Chevrolet and Kia in Ocala
That dealership could burn all the way down to the center of the earth for all I cared. Ignorance, assholes, douche bags, and careless are of just some of the words that pop out of my mind thinking of them. Their whole business methods are bullshit and corrupted. I sincerely hope one day someone goes ape-shit on them and pulls a Columbine or something.
Fuck You: Adam Ferral, Craig Backrodt, Steven Spitizer, Mike Campbell, and any or all pieces of shit that work their as well. If I had the money to hire a lawyer I’d stick one up so far your rectums for the harassment, threats, and breach of contract. So die, and sincerely, I hope it’s painful!
Bad Business
I highly suggest that no one ever trust, deal, or do business with this dealership here in Ocala, Florida:

I “tried” to purchase my very first new car from them… what a joke. I am so lost and without any direction on how to pursue this issue! I was once in belief that IF a contract was signed by two parties that it binds and sticks to a mutual agreement. Obviously I was very wrong! In short… I put a down-payment of 7k on a new ’06 Kia Optima for it to be yanked from my possession after owning it for two months! Not before though, being threatened from a finance manager, ridiculed from other personnel, and avoided and lied to along the way. Is that what customer service is coming to?
I’ve slightly attempted to get legal advice, but I need to get these contracts scanned and emailed out. I do believe I could bring a litigation against this dealership for treating this manner in such a way as well as breaking my contract!
Corrupted Corporations
It really irks me when huge business look down on the consumer; all they care about is their very own best interests! I’ve been put into a situation where I feel I can’t win, been lied to, and taken advantage of! All that from attempting to purchase a new car. Then, to top off the entire situation, to even try to obtain legal help I’d have to pay for a lawyer, which is understandable, but next to impossible being that all my money I had went for the down-payment on the car.
I really hate this stress and worry it is bringing to my life. Why is life so difficult sometimes; especially for the ones that are busting their asses to achieve a respectable status in life’s twisted tides!
I will triumph above this ordeal, for I have over-come other very hard times previously. So, for all you scoundrel pieces of poo corporations you can go bankrupt for all I care and lose every asset you may “think” you possess!
Pricks….
Cops, Still Suck
Ever just sincerely hate a prick of a cop! Don’t even know him, besides possibly the 5 or so minutes since he pulled you over? Yeah! Well I have!
They could care less about anything. I honestly tried to explain that I felt he made a mistakenly while using his “severely accurate” radar gun (his words). That had he been just above the hill I was coming over where the douche bag zoomed around me and cut me off he would have clearly seen how his radar gun was calibrating the guys car in front of mine! Nope. Instead I’m greeted with I shouldn’t have been so “ignorant and racing on ‘his’ streets!” Wow, just wow. So now cops have the ultimate right to degrade and harass civilians?
I know… just know Murphy’s Law is so true! Go figure.
Wal-Mart Sucks Ass
I say this with the utmost disrespect my being can muster in a sentence. Here’s the story…
I shopped there last night to pick up a few groceries after work; simply one would assume, right? WRONG! After purchasing around $50 in food and other misc. items I went home; well I was too tired to balance out my bank account so I figured I’d do it this morning… I log into my bank account, Wachovia, I see a Wal-Mart charge for $16.94 from last night as well as the $50 dollar one. I was like ummm….
So I print out a copy of my bank statement and head over to Wal-Mart this morning to square this away, or so I had very wrongly assumed. After speaking with a standard store associate, manager, and the accountant of Wal-Mart I was roughly told, “the transaction isn’t in the system, and we can’t do anything about it”! Are you joking…. seriously, I mean if I was trying to swindle big bad Wal-Mart wouldn’t it be more wise to claim the $16.94 purchase and deny the $50? They said there “wasn’t enough proof and needed to show a receipt”; I calmly asked if they wanted a receipt for a transaction that I didn’t DO!?
So, I will be there tomorrow, during regular ‘business hours’ to try to resolve this whole ordeal once again…. fucking douche bags!
Wrist Pains from Work
My new job has been quite easy to deal with in regards to my wrist giving me issues; although, it has from time to time given me pains because of repetitive use. Well, my wrist has been giving me really bad pains since work on the 12th…
I was assisting my manager on setting up a new kiosk in the store, having to move the weight seriously hurt my wrist. I sincerely hope this situation gets resolved quickly; I’m hoping surgery has a good chance of helping me. Though, I am extremely terrified at this point because of my medical conditions that complicate the surgery. I have a meeting at the end of the month followed directly by a new doctor, again, for an initial visit and screening. I hope the new doctor can be a little more optimistic about the situation, because every previous doctor I’ve spoken with wasn’t.
No Sleep
I need to adapt my sleeping patterns and really take control of them. As of lately I’ve been subdued to stay up until 6AM and then fall asleep! That’s great and all… if I still had my grave-yard shift job. I stay up with either studying, surfing, or gaming; though it seems enjoyable I feel like I’m getting burnt out. I actually recall sleeping on a normal basis and waking up around 8AM to have a whole full day ahead of me to conquer whatever task I chose.
So, here I am, without sleep again, and in search of finding a method to tame my sleeping patterns and behaviors. Naps perhaps?
digg – Tell Steve not to partner with Walmart
Seriously… I slightly knew of the bullshit Wal-Mart was pulling with their whining tactics of losing sales because of iTunes movie sells, but to this extent! Wal-Mart really needs to “Cowboy Up” and get over their pathetic pleas; they already dominant entirely for retail stores alone… so what if you lose some sales do to ITMS.
Life is a Never Ending Black Hole
Well mine seems to be as such in my experiences. Every time things seem like they are actually going smoothly I get whacked blind-sided by some sort of crud that really brings me way down. I’m not talking about the small little issues that pop-up everyday, but more like the problems that can really bust you down like you are trash.
Then I’m supposed to pick myself up, dust off the dirt, and roll on as if shit doesn’t ever happen. Sheer insanity. I suppose that if life wasn’t filled with these obstacles that it would be bland and dull. Peace and happiness shouldn’t be too difficult to seize, especially for all of us that try to apply ourselves with our full potential.
I’m just immensely stressed right now…. VERY MUCH! Life just sucks for me, period. Will I bounce back up this time?
USA’s Failure in Broadband Advancement
Is it me or is the US, supposedly richest country in the world, lack significantly in the broadband progression? Though poorer countries are excelling amazingly with outstanding results and speeds! These minute upgrades: 5mbs to 7mbs and typically no upload boost is weak and insulting to today’s networking demands and communications.
Fios is only very limited and where these communication companies need to sincerely focus, bite the bullet, and start phasing into this real next generation broadband. Get with the new times and demand you corrupted greedy corporate devils.
Essay Extravaganza
Are essays, in any way, possibly fun? Seemingly head-plowing aggravation seems to be commencing while I’m trying to write. Needless to mention that these writings are on my own experiences; not some off the wall topic I have to research yet. Maybe the whole writing under pressure and deadlines is what is throwing me off? The other two classes are going quite smoothly along; it’s just this English course, I’m battling with. Well aware that this is my big sacrifice in life (I had a lot worse), and I just need to apply myself so that in the end I’m a winner and can get a real career; not just another lame trashy job.
Being granted the pleasure of briefly play with an upcoming project that is absurdly mind-blowing is under the radar so watch out! I’m not quite sure how much is wanting to be announced in this early stage. but as the sky is blue (on good days) I believe this project will explode once fully released and build extremely quickly!
New doctor appointment lurking real soon around the corner; it’s going to be with the a new doctor I believe that will be performing the surgery soon I hope. I’m terrified of this whole ordeal, but shoot it’s been over a year and still no sign of relief, so obviously surgery seems to be the real next logical step to take.
Soon, hopefully, their will be some very pleasing news for Erin in regards to her motorcycle. We’re aren’t getting our hopes up yet so we’ll wait and see how it all pans out.
That is the News here locally and stay-tuned for your other updates and traffic on the 1s…
Electronics Going Down
It’s quite funny that I noticed this absurd pattern, but I realized I don’t pack my electronics: gaming god 360, beautiful Apple Mac computer, etc… until very last. Which is why I’m writing this very note. My computer is getting packed up and so is my 360. I’m going to be without both until Sunday September 3rd.
Woot! This sucks…
Life Still Sucking
Yea… still in this rut that I haven’t yet explained, but assure everyone out there that it isn’t a picnic right now for me. I ran into a horrible dilemma that, well just blows insanely.
I thought I had found my refugee that was already on the line, but I pushed it and though I don’t blame them, I’m lost once again. This probably sounds like gibberish to most people, okay more like 98% that might read this. Only a few know what is going… THIS SUCKS DAMMIT!
