I won’t go into major details, but nearly everything that could go badly has gone badly lately.
The most recent fun has been trying to replace my computer. I found a cheapish refurbished gaming computer through a third party on Amazon. The first one I ordered got delivered by UPS... to an Amazon warehouse in Indiana that had nothing to do with the address on the package. When I tried to get them to redirect it to me, they basically said there’s nothing they could do and to contact Amazon for a refund. I got my money refunded and found a second computer that was pretty close to the first one but $20 more. Received it today and it’s broken. It had a needlessly hipsterish power button and the mechanism was completely smashed. Now I’m at two weeks without a computer, and my old laptop I was trying to use finally gave up too.
Lots of other things have gone wrong, but the computer thing has been like the straw that kneed me in the balls. That’s how the saying goes, right?

That sucks, bro. Hey, things’ll turn around at some point.
But yeah, refurb PCs are incredibly hit or miss. As much as people talk about how much money they save, used PCs and PC parts are a no go for me.

If they had just delivered the first one to the damn address that was on the label... that’s what kills me. No one at UPS wanted to expend the slightest effort. It was like flying on Delta.

That sucks. I couldn’t imagine being without a computer that long these days anymore. I hope this next month turns out better for you

Hopefully I’ll be getting a new one tonight. We’re going to go to Micro Center when my partner gets off work. Having a computer again will definitely improve my mood.
