Things to complain about

[Lt ReiStark]

I have to take anti-depressants or i sit in my room all day stewing in my own hate... its not very nice to be around me when im like that.

I feel like a pill popper with how many pills I carry around.
Oh gawd the allergy pills. So many. Also Advil and vitamins.

Having been off my medications for a month and noticing no difference - why was I paying for them at all?

If they are for your mood then be aware because you can be good for a month then start hearing a voice that hates you, and fall into daydreams about a blue wolf that wants you to live in the woods by your house with him... what too specific?

Being someone who suffers from psychosis (on rare occasions, severe enough to convince me I don't exist or that I deserve to die), I find this a bit tasteless.

Not having anything else to complain about. Wait...

Newton's pesky law + 25 pound dumbbell + bare feet = A sudden coat of blue language paint on the room walls. That was slightly clumsy of me. I'm fairly sure I didn't break anything, but the left big toe's swollen nicely. Ow.

I go crazy if i stop taking my Prozac, and those things i described were what happened due to that + stress.
i find your lack of faith tasteless, im depressive and i have major mood swings, they need to give me meds so i don't start drawing severed heads on the wall.

So take your Prozac.
My ... lack of faith? o.o I can be offended by whatever offends me, regardless of whether or not you've experienced the same thing. Some gay people are offended by the word fag, while I am not, but I respect that, rather than arguing it.

Well im not going to get into a spat about this, let's just say "What a wonderful day"

Furious weasel is furious.

Trying to watch YouTube content. Connection is so ridiculously slow it's not even funny. 240p videos are buffering slower than playback, indicative of a serious bandwidth problem. So I start doing appropriate technical diagnosis. Network congestion? Nope. Route analysis is clean and clear. Ping's excellent. It's a raw bandwidth issue. Next test, a clean straight-shot connection from system to provider. Same result. Rules out a router getting persnickety from age or heat. Averaging 0.4-0.5 mbit down, at best. I'm paying for 30. After a few hours of that, decided I was less than impressed (And it was getting worse). Nothing to do with the usual evening congestion; It's never even a tenth that bad. At worst it knocks it down to 20 mb from 30. So I call TekSavvy. I have never had good luck with their support department (On the 3 problem-occasions and eight or nine actual calls I've called them, I've sat as "1st in queue" for an average of one hour. Or more). This was one of those occasions. My issue started around 10 PM with a call to their support department. I was unhelpfully told to do exactly what I had done prior (Router removal from the loop for clean troubleshooting + a modem reset). Informed the tech that I would have to hang up, as I'm on VOIP. Instructed him that I would call back once I was through troubleshooting, and had reacquired a connection through the hub already connected to the phone, without the router (The phone has to be reset when networking configuration changes). Cue up DNS failing to issue an IP for more than an hour on a package that's supposed to include two IPs (Ergo, the phone and the one system connected *should* have gotten a DNS issued address without issue). Three modem resets later and another spate of diagnostics, I confirmed the problem was DNS.

Then the real fun began. I restored my usual network configuration, checked I was online, and I was. Same issue, still slower than a frozen lump of crap rolling uphill. Phoned tech support again. Waited. Waited. Waited. First in line. Again. I've begun to really, really dread hearing that from TekSavvy. It usually means I spend half an hour or more listening to a cheery voice tell me I'm first in the queue while abysmally low bitrate muzak pipes in. By about the half hour mark of "First in line", I was ready to throw the phone out the window. So I hung up, and tried again. And again. Two half-hour waits later as "first in line", I gave up, called their DSL support queue instead, and got an answer before the cheery voice had a chance to tell me I'm first in line for a blood-boiling, patience-trying wait. Note that this is the third consecutive technical issue I have had exactly the same problem with their phone support on; "First in line" and "Yeah, fuck you, we'll answer if and when we feel like it". The last time I attempted to take advantage of their "Leave a message and we'll call you back" service? I got called back. Promptly. Three days and an hour or so later. Two days and change after the issue worked itself out through a fix I found on Broadband Reports after much Googling.

Here's the real kicker.

They wasted three hours of my time, an hour and a half of which was spent as "First in line" on an empty phone queue with a lazy arse-hat not doing their job on the other end. The solution? All they would have had to say is "Yeah, we didn't anticipate demand for our services and are trying to run 170 customers on a single 100 mbit card". Yes, you read that right. Three hours of time wasted, by two different techs, an hour and a half on hold as "First in line", when a new post popped up on Broadband Reports actually explaining the situation. Yeah. That's 0 for 2, TekSavvy Support; Twice now that a third party forum's had information a hired technician could not provide, that the techs should have been aware of in the first place. Y'know, an important little nagging detail like "Management oversold the service and didn't adjust infrastructure accordingly, so things are a tad bit slow until we catch up on infrastructure".

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU--

Stay the hell away from TekSavvy until they sort their ass from their teakettle. As for me, I get to deal with having about 3-4% of the connection I'm paying for, until they sort their mess out. Yes, I paid twice as much with Shaw. But at least I got the bloody advertised bit-rate with them, not 3-4% with amazing communicative incompetence.

When you've seen the same doggy fursuit in a news story for "wearing pink" anti-bullying day for 12+ times in a day for a rehearsal for a TV/Journalism Practicum, you almost kind of get tired of the fandom.

Worst part was, none of my classmates I mentioned the word "Fursuit" to knew what it was at first...
