Good things

Last last weekend my grandpa wanted to get his newly bought computer fixed. The computer had a blank screen stayed there for about 3 and a half minutes BEFORE windows began to load. So i checked out the computer and couldn't find out what was causing the mess. i did find that the graphics card didn't match the graphics card on the invoice (it was an older version) and there was a dead pixel on the lcd monitor. So on Saturday i took it down to where we bought it from (AUSTIN) and wanted them to fix it. However, they pissed me off bad by saying that they couldn't replace the monitor even though it said that all hardware parts had a 12 month warranty. They began to say stuff like the manufacturer produces different warranties and that we had to report it in 7 days to get a refund for the monitor. i did point out that they never wrote this down or never told us verbally. Anyways, when i told them about the graphics card they said that the guy for warranties isn't here till monday. So why did we just spend the past 20 mins arguing with this person??? So on monday we took it down and asked for a complete refund on EVERYTHING. They gave us the same treatment saying that they will have a look at it, and can't do anything about the monitor. However a quick mention of a complaint to consumer affairs and he changed his mind and allowed us to have a refund back in cash. i don't understand why things have to be so complicated. i recently heard from RSPCA telling us that the stray cat has been health checked, vaccinated and given a new home. Thats kinda good. It wasn't put down and it won't be lonely ever again. Yesterday i got a call from Kmart regarding the nightfill job. They wanted me to start training straight away. i also got a call for an interview for a helpdesk job but had to delay that interview because of the Kmart training. i'm gonna call about the interview in about 15 mins. Hopefully i get the job. The Kmart training yesterday was alright. Now i get some $$$, i also have to tell centrelink and check bank statements...Argghh so much to do today.
