Fuckall

So I had a slightly shitty week thus far, and I'm going to share it with who ever decides to read this.

Shitty Thing #1)
Chegg, that wonderful book leading and selling place everyone hears about fucked me over royally. I ordered a book from with a Wiley Plus Registration card from them on 9/04, what I received on Friday was a book but no registration card. (online homework was already past due) So I was pissed, started a live support session with one of their reps who told me "Sorry, well ship you a new book", even when I said all I needed was the registration card they said they still had to ship me a new book." So I said fine, waited 4 more days and on the 11th I got an email from Chegg:

"  Hi Cody,
We are sorry to inform you, but 1 or more of the item(s) in your order #none of your business could not be shipped from our warehouse. A refund has been issued to the payment method used to place the order.  Please allow 3-5 business days for this credit to post to your account. "

"

My internal translation of that email is as follows:
"Dear Cody,
Sorry we fucked up, here have a cookie."

I know what you are thinking, what the hell does a cookie have to do with anything. Well it doesn't, but Chegg's lack of inventory management is bullshit, and I had to pay $95.00 to Wiley Publishing for the registration card. So Fuck you Chegg, I'm keeping the book you asked me to ship back as payment for putting up with your shit.

Shitty Thing #3)

Google... Sometimes you make me so mad that I could kill a flock of chickens by making them eat KFC.
So I was responding to an email using GMail, a very important decide your future type of email. My email response is pretty long right, nice and grammatically correct, I get to what is pretty much the bottom of the scrollbox, and  I click to fix a word, well instead of the word, due to someones fucked up calculations in padding text boxes, my click lands on the send button, why in the FUCK would you put a send button right below the fucking text box, no vertical spacing what so ever. Below is my internalization & thought process of this incident:

"Good email so far, must fix spelling error, right click activated, wait.... what the fuck, did that just really. well  hope they cant spell."

Shitty Thing #4)

IT User Services, oh how I want to dump you.
Ever since the start of this semester and MTU's new 100% Wireless Campus Crusade my internet has been shit-tastic, in fact I didn't have internet for the first 2 days of the semester. I've called them 3 times, filed a complaint in person, and today the 13th nearly 1 week later I get a response to my ticket.

"Cody,
I understand your frustration with not being able to connect to the wireless. I will have this issue assessed and resolved as soon as possible. The issue is most likely due to an unknown wireless network. I will relay this info the the appropriate person and have the unknown wireless access points shut down. Thanks again for your patience. "

This is the same bullshit line that they have kept feeding me,
I can still see the wireless access points, I can connect to them. Do I have to manually knock on each door in the dorms enforcing the policy of no wireless access points (user services asked me not to), how long is this going to take. Will I be forced to live in the labs this year because User Services can't get their shit together, its a pretty easy fix send some muscle to find the punks who are disrupting my wireless signal. I deserve more than 2 bars damnit!



So yeah, I could probably be doing homework right now or the actual assigned blog post, but I'm too drained from dealing with fuckall to do so, so hopefully I get some recognition for this awesome post, or real cold hard canvas points would be swell too.
