KIDNAPPED COMPUTER

This past week, I got a new MacBook laptop computer...YAY! But, I couldn't connect to my old dial-up at home. Try as hard as I could, nothing worked. My brother sent me a used Airport device he got on eBay...it didn't work. I got so frustrated that I finally took it down to the MAC repair shop in VH. Bad move...actually ...WRONG move. This horrible man who owns the place was viciously rude to me! He kept shouting, "WRONG!" at everything I said, and belittling me for not knowing much about computers. Maybe he's a Misogynist, or maybe he's in such pain and misery that he takes it out on others...but that's not the way a store owner should treat his clients. It's just...well, WRONG! Anyways, so they take my computer hostage over the long Memorial Day weekend, even though I told them I needed it by Saturday for my radio show on Sunday (I am a DJ)! I called up and insisted I was taking it back, and I drove down to get it...but they had closed early! So, I didn't have access to my iTunes Library for my show on Sunday...and it was a terrible show, as I just grabbed whatever CD's I could bring. So, I DO apologize for that show, and promise to get a better one for this Sunday...am downloading a bunch of new iTunes now!!! The computer? Yeah, I got it back...after they 'borrowed' my discs to re-install something they erroneously deleted! It cost me $75. for "putting the wrong phone number in a certain field, when setting up internet." It must have taken them all of 10 minutes to fix that! Well, we all want something...I wanted an 'instant fix', they wanted to keep my computer as long as they could...I wanted to pay as little as I had to, they wanted to charge me as much as they could get out of me....I wanted my precious computer so I could make life better for me and others through the radio show, they wanted to show me how little regard they had for me and whatever I was planning on doing. Everybody wants something...but they can't always have it, and when they do get it....if they don't deserve it, I believe there is a time and a place when things will get evened up. That's FAITH.
