It seems that Tiger's just a bad luck magnet…
It seems that when it rains, it pours… especially in London. I hear there’s lots of fog too…
I’m writing this for Tiger right now because, well, in addition to her laptop being dead, apparently her internet just doesn’t agree with her choice to visit her own site. It firmly denies that it exists to her and refuses to go there, thereby preventing her from posting herself. In addition to this, she is having even further issues with her bank card, and it’s ability to produce cash from various machines around the city.

Welcome to the worst week EVER. My hard drive died after no warning that anything was even wrong. I’ve spent the whole week on? the phone to Dell, running freaking diagnostics and arguing about when to send a tech out and no, 5 days is not long enough for me to recover my data off the broken drive. Despite saying “don’t send a tech out” a tech arrived at my work this morning. I told him to just give me the new hard drive and I’ll install it myself. He swore black and blue that I wouldn’t get an invoice from Dell if I didn’t return the faulty drive in the 5 day period given. I don’t believe him. Wait for Dell vs Lilley Part 376: The Big Argument Session.
But wait, there’s more. On my way to an appointment this afternoon, my bank card got declined at the ATM. I ran upstairs, not in the mood to be pissed around by a machine, oh but in England, we don’t let you withdraw over the counter. Even though it’s your money sorry LULZ. I missed my appointment, due to the fact I couldn’t PAY FOR IT.
After half an hour on the phone to the bank, they asked me if I tried to withdraw £100 in Canada last week. No? Ahh you have been gotten by card fraud, retailers can steal your details now. We’ve cancelled your card. You’re not getting a new one till next Friday.
Luckily, I have a whopping £5.84 to see me through till next week. But wait, there’s more. This blog isn’t even being posted by me, because LOL my workplace’s ISP is broken so I can’t access my own site! HILARIOUS.
ooooh…. seems like you had a bad day then.
I guess you won’t be happy when you find out I ate all your Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. whoops!

August 18th, 2008 at 5:28 amOh Lilley, that sucks ASS! Big time! I feel for you.
Tell me you can get your photos back? Or at least have most of them on Flickr already?
Good luck anyways *hugs*

August 18th, 2008 at 10:30 amActually no, it doesn’t. I asked if the tech could do a data recovery for me and Dell pretty much backed the hell up and said they won’t do that. They told me to go find a company that do it. Yea I have most of my photos online so pretty lucky! Few Romanian ones are still on my camera so all is well :)
