A few weeks ago, my mom emailed me a request for a Christmas gift wishlist. My response:

• for my computer to be functional again
  
• a new job

I finally tired of not taking any action on the PC front, and wrote another email to Leadtek's customer support. By now my warranty has long expired, and I still don't have a satisfactory explanation for my continued problems. I was hopeful that someone at Leadtek might be able to point me in the direction of a solution anyway. The reply I received was, "I'm not sure the problem. I guess we can just exchange it for you again." I still have no answers other than that maybe Leadtek just assembles terribly crappy components, but hey, RMA goodness.

I sent an email inquiring about the status of my RMA and was told that my replacement board has shipped, and was given a UPS tracking number. Only the corresponding package is in transit to Winnepeg. As in Canada. Two emails pointing out this fact remain unanswered after a week.

Hey, remember this job I mentioned a month or two ago? The guy they hired quit. I re-interview tomorrow afternoon. I guess that means this little experiment ends today. You're looking at six weeks of hard work! Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

I was being facetious when I wrote that list, but maybe it isn't so unrealistic after all. Oh, and my Christmas present to Bob arrived today. The temptation to say to Hell with Christmas and keep it for myself is pretty fierce.
