Yup it’s one of those days, everyday. been trying to put that into a funny twitterism.
I just thought it might be a nice idea to actually try and be a cool guy on twitter and see if I stand out from all the linky mcspammy pantses on there. I mean the site obviously does have a lot to do with getting chummy with your favourite A lister. The fact that apparently its been going down a bit and people are getting pissed reminds me of myspace in 2005. Next come the late adopters, then the webcam girls. ugh.
But anyway more of the same round here. Todays series of disasters actually got me pretty wound up - they weren’t relatively extraordinary, I just continued to be amazed at how each piece of equipment seems to cease to function correctly with such orchestrated finesse.
That even when my workload is relatively light, just enough will go wrong to send me into a panic and make me start battening down the hatches for the next dip - “that’s it! no eating out this week!”
I keep forgetting I’ve actually got cash savings now for the first time in years so first plan of action is not to reach for the cyanide pills.
No thats right todays problem was that the printers at the printshop didnt proportion the covers I had printed correctly so it was a basically an expensive waste of time.
I’m sharing half my margin on this job with these people and this is where I end up.
I have to accept that I have to deal with my own printing problems. I have to accept that until I am willing and able to pay for a reliable printer I am just going have days like this where I pay $100 for wonky cd covers just to have to replace them out of my own pocket while looking like a dickhead that I wasn’t able to complete a job in time when I was given a whole week by the client to do it.
I’ve been here enough times. If I just continue to say it was someone else’s fault then I’ll never move on.
But god, I worked so hard for that cash buffer I knew had to have because something will ALWAYS go wrong. To have to replace equipment knowing that if I have car problems or there’s a major situation, my pockets wont be deep enough to save me, is not a place I want to go back to!!!
SO DON’T BUY THE CANON LBP5200 IT IS A SHONKY PIECE OF CRAP THAT BREAKS DOWN AFTER 1000 COPIES.
If I’d nver bought the canon lbp5200 from expert infotech in birkenhead I wouldn’t have these problems!!!
Yes. I did choose the bottom of the line product. But there was no caveat that the thing would break down after ! MONTH!!!
“Canon are the manufacturer, you’ll have to take it up with them.”
“Expert infotech are the retailer, you’ll have to take it up with them.”
“Canon are the manufacturer, you’ll have to take it up with them.”
“Expert infotech are the retailer, you’ll have to take it up with them.”
Pass the blame until you wear them down. Great customer service concept.
God I hate canon new zealand printers and expert infotech in birkenhead auckland!!!
THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ROTTEN AND THEY ARE RIP OFFS!! sell me a brand new printer that does only 1000 copies and then practically becomes useless. HMMPH!!!
I’ve always wanted to rain fire from my blog. I might do it some more!!!
like Ganelle Djarlo for instance, a so called band manager from Auckland New Zealand ripped me off for $435 worth of postering and CD’s and never paid me!!!
Whenever I get mad, I always think of Ganelle who was the first person to rip me off when I started my business. I know she didn’t mean to - it’s she’s just one of those pathetic types who cant get anything right.
Hasn’t really helped me over the last year thinking how much I could of used that $435 at various times.
So you see now whenever someone searches for expert infotech or ganelle djarlo theyre going to read that they ripped me off and hopefully they will put things right if they want me to stop the “name-and-shame” game.
Thats the beauty and joy of blogging!!!
meanwhile I will have learnt to budget for decent equipment and rather than merely cursing their names I will have plenty of time for taking out my irrational frustrations on people who really deserve it - like canon, expert infotech, and ganelle djarlo.
