Darned strike...

[thistlechaser]

The three-day work on my apartment's heating unit had been put off because there was a strike in a major port. That was annoying, but not too big of an issue.

Know what is a big issue? The same strike is keeping me from getting my new computer. GRUMBLE!

I ordered it on 3/7. It was supposed to ship by 3/18. That's three working days from now, and they don't even have the parts yet. Blah.

I was mostly okay with my glacier slow computer, until I ordered the new one. Now I get endlessly grumpy that I'm so much slower in game than everyone else.

I know I'm not their only customer effected by this, but I'm going to ask if they can upgrade my shipping anyway. Also, this explains why their live help/customer service chat has been offline for days...

Aww, I get why that is annoying. I hated being slower than everyone else and missing out on the PROPER gaming experience. It's so bloody incinvenient. And you were counting down the days, I figure, and now it's botched and you have to re-set and wait even longer. Blah!

People can't believe how slow my machine is. When I share my FPS number, I repeatedly get "Wait, that's a typo, right? You left a zero or two off that?" and jokes that I can't actually play, I'm just looking at a screenshot.

One day I'll be able to play like everyone else! One day!

Do you have any heating? Or are you wrapped-up in blankets?

Before they fixed it, I had limited heat. It's fine now though, thankfully!
