This is a blog entry written by myself in response to Crommo’s first comment on my first blog.

As I sit here struggling to compose my fifth uninteresting blog entry, my thoughts travel to a place full of sh*t. I follow my thoughts and wind up at ‘Crommoa’, a self-indulgent tiresome record of a life that is not his own; as he continues to find all his glory through the finances that his parents provide him. But as an open minded person, I decide it’s best that I read on and don’t judge someone by a months worth of hedonistic blogs (look it up if you don’t know what ‘hedonistic’ means Jon).

 

I wonder why anyone would care about what Jon looks like in a mirror let alone real life. Yet this dull idea makes its way onto his ‘eventful’ blog.

 

It’s not the blog that’s so tedious; it’s more the constant negative comments that seem to carry on through the entire WordPress network. “Of course it was him that came up with the idea to ‘blog’”; therefore I should hold back on this blog ‘for Jon’ as he [as owner of WordPress] can delete me.





Why I hate Telstra (and everything they stand by): Part I

8 12 2007

“Hmmm”, I was thinking.
“I’ve had enough of this ‘dial up’ rubbish that I’ve lived with for years.”
Now that I’m living in ‘my own’ house and I’m paying the bills, I thought; “why not get broadband”.

So, during a quiet Sunday afternoon shift (21st Oct) at Donut King I wandered on over to the Telstra shop at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre. They were very helpful and were (unsurprisingly) keen on me signing up. So I filled out all the forms and ordered a wireless modem setup for ye olde computer.
I was quite excited about this new endeavour, and the idea that I could actually watch a 30 seconds YouTube video in less than 40mins.

Having spread the news, to all I knew, about my new development in technology I was informed by John-Paul that Telstra was quite possibly the worst value for money when it came to broadband.
My heart sank…

I dragged myself home to house full of disappointment. I had screwed up my life, I was going to receive a really bad internet plan. :(

I was lifted back up again when my neighbour stopped by and said that he had a great internet plan that I should use. I was greatly excited and immediately thought of ringing Teltra and canceling my order. It was incredible timing on my neighbours behalf.

So just 2 days after I had set up the order for a Telstra account etc. (Tuesday 23rd Oct) I rang them and told them of my decision to cancel everything. The call took about 20mins and the lady ensured me that everything was done. It seemed all to easy. I asked, “Do I need to sign anything? Every thing’s now done and my account’s been canceled?”
She reassured me with a “Yes”.

A week of bliss went by…
