Me, happy at work
I haven't been this happy at work since I was given a $50 cd voucher, got pissed on champaign and fell asleep at my desk.
I've recieved a ticket out of this place and I intend to use it ASAP!
I get a pay rise and the luxury of not having to pay for petrol!

BLIMEY
If you look closely, the rego says BLIMEY, and Blimey indeed to the traffic heading onto Epping Road from Lane Cove Road. I've actually just passed the LC tunnel area, and by golly it was a good run! I don't know about the tunnel itself, but the rest of Epping Road was nice!

Seeing red with 3!!!
** the following text was too long to write on a mob. I know a picture speaks a thousand words, but no picture will be able to replace my anger... well, no picture deemed appropriate to publish on a family-friendly blog... enjoy :) **
I signed up for a service with 3 at the beginning of February, ported a
number over from Voda, all was good.
I signed up for a 2nd service on Friday 9th of March along with ANOTHER
porting request, this time from Digiplus/Optus, or whatever it is now. I
did a recorded verbal agreement and all that.
The phone arrived on Wednesday 14 March, the couriers were great! I was
told to call Customer Care when I received the phone so the porting could
be done.
I talked to someone who fluffed around for 10 minutes and then told me to
do ANOTHER recording or go to a store to authorsing the port.
I made it clear to the operator that I had already authorised the port,
and just to do it. She then told me that if I already put in a request,
it would be done...
A week later, and after many harrassing calls, nothing was done.
Everytime I called they mentioned the other porting request -- that is,
the one which was successfully ported with my FIRST service. I keep
telling them that porting of that number was fine, just port the other
one!
They promised to call me back by Friday afternoon or Saturday but I
didn't hear from them! Saturday -- I was fed up and decided to walk into
a 3 store in Chatswood, I filled out the porting request form thinking,
GOOD, now it'll be done... how wrong was I!
Tuesday 20 March, after 48 hours since filling in the form (give them
time I suppose), nothing had gone through. Customer care calls the store
to make sure the fax went through... they get cut off...
I was sent to a 'customer care' operator (I thought they were ALL
Customer Care!) after I got very narky and demanding answers to why
nothing has been done.
The 2nd operator tells me that she has escalated the case and will have
someone call me. Sure enough, someone calls me, while I'm in a meeting! I
was told to call them back... on the generic number 133 320.
I call them back hoping to get stuff done ASAP, but instead sat there
repeating my story to some other operator and wasting another half an
hour of my life! The operator tells me that he'll have someone call me
back on Wednesday (21 March)...
surprise surprise -- NO CALL.
It wasn't until I called them just now, REPEATED MY STORY AGAIN and got
extremely infuriated (couldn't shout cos I'm in the office). This poor
guy who got the shit end of the stick said he'll get someone to call me
back today...
Luckily for him someone did!!! This guy did ANOTHER verbal authorisation
and sent the request on the spot to Digiplus...
I found out that the prob was the account number... When I did my first
request, the girl told me that the account number I gave her was
incorrect cos there were letters in front... fine, gave her a different
number and she said that was good...
The account number was in fact the one with the letters. The recorded
message says: If there is a problem with a port, we will call to let you
know...
WELL thanks 3 for letting me know after I increased my blood pressure 10
times what it is normally!
It seems that nothing will be done until you go insane.
I hope this is the last time I need to depend on customer care!!!

Ribs and rumps
Saturday night, Tim and Nut were considering "the challenge" at Ribs and Rumps in Manly.
Unfortunately we were told that we couldn't do it cos the guy wanted to in home before 12 (it was 9:30ish) and it takes on average 2-3 hours to finish...
We ended up with very very yummy aged waygu steak!
I'm salivating just thinking about it!
Ching and her ribs

Chocolate chocolate chocolate...
The Lindt store is an obese child's parent's nightmare.
I think I overindulged in liquids (2 glasses of water and half my iced mocha) and I chose a not so appetising chocolate cheesecake.
lotsa Lindt balls!
hmm... Sundae !
"turd" profiterole
passionfruit thing
eek chocolate cheesecake thing

Happy Birthday
It's a little dangerous driving along the Cahill freeway and taking a photo ;)
It's the Harbour Bridge's 75th birthday celebrations this Sunday, but we missed registrations to walk along it... Oh well

Academia labyrinth
After sitting in a class which talked about some Franco war or rather and then a lap around the Quad, I finally find the location of my class...
The building was eerily quiet. Seeing I was already half an hour late, I slowed down to enjoy the decor.

Maybe in Strathfield but not Berala...
I'm attempting to get back into my walking routine after 2 weeks of being a sloth (esp in HK). Gees it gets dark early now!
I trek armed with my car keys and my phone (you never know what you see).
Everytime I go walking, I visit this house and the one next to it to see if anyone is willing to fork out the $ for it...
The two houses look the same, the only difference is the shade of concrete paved on top.
Modern design but small~
Frankly, it's not worth it... not Berala anyway.

Finally back on 3
The bloody network has either been out or on roaming yesterday and today and it's driving me insane!
The network better fix itself before any Australian World Cup games!
