That is awesome, Gaucho, every little thing helps and makes a difference!
Rant! I am so annoyed right now and frustrated. So, the battery for my laptop sucked. If I unplugged it from the wall adapter it only lasted about 30 minutes if I was lucky before it would die. So I ordered a new battery for it. I was never really "hip" on the knowledge of laptop batteries and stuff. So I kept it plugged into the wall adapter all the time. I sort of thought that is what you were supposed to do and the internal one was just a back up. Apparently that ruins the battery... so now I know.
But now, something is wrong with this battery that I got. I have been trying to not have it plugged into the wall adapter as much. The battery will just die... no warnings, no notifications that it is getting low... it says 98% and then BAM my computer dies. So I plug in the adapter and it won't charge. I have to unplug it and then plug it back in. Sometimes it fully charges, sometimes it stops half way and I have to unplug it and replug it in.
Is that description of what is wrong with the battery REALLY that difficult to understand? IS IT?! If it is, then maybe someone can tell me how to make it more clear.
I told my mom what is going on and she keeps asking me to re-explain what is going on. She keeps asking 100 questions about what is going on. She is like okay... tell me again? Okay, so what? So it isn't charging? Tell me again. Can you explain it to me, I need to write it down. We should call them and see if we can get it fixed... try one more time to explain it to me, can you?
She just sent me an email "I know I am driving you crazy but can you tell me what is going on with it? is it doing this? but not that? it's not doing this? but that? 10 questions later..."
Yes, you are driving me crazy. I said I would figure it out when I got to Arizona. I said I would talk to the people at Best Buy when I got to Arizona.
Why can't she just DROP IT! For the love of pete, she needs to just drop it.
A couple hours after the email... she calls me "I called Best Buy" Me: "oookaaay...." and she tells me what they said might be the problem and we could take it in so they could take a look at it and see what our next move is.
Conversation sort of went like...
Me: well I want to wait until I get to Arizona.
Her: yeah I know you talked about that but I wanted to still call.
Me: I didn't TALK about waiting, I said I WANTED to wait.
Her: I don't know why I bothered calling Best Buy then.
Me: I really don't know why either....
Her: I guess we really need to work on our communication skills then because I never seem to get things right or know what you want.
Me: You sent me the email asking the questions, you brought it up again, I have said nothing since last night after I said I wanted to wait.
Her: That's true.
You're darn right it's true.
Where? Why? How? What part of what I said made her think I wanted to get the computer checked out HERE?
She drives me absolutely insane. Insane.
Needed a place to rant.
