plans of a future world dictator.
do you ever get those moments sometimes, where you're on a website and everything's going just fine, and then as you click the link to the very important matter for which you are on the website in the first place, bam! they're experiencing 'technical difficulties', which is the politest possible way of telling you that a supreme deity has sworn to make your life hell, and the universe is conspiring against you. good times. ok, so the point of my post is that i was in that situation about 12 hours ago.
i've been ordering fullmetal alchemist a disc at a time off amazon, and it didn't occur to me until the second disc came, which meant that nearly 2 weeks had passed since the fist disc arrived, that i'm required to leave feedback on the seller. so i started to feel really awkward that i hadn't left feedback on that person yet, especially since they were new, and i was supposed to be what got their non-existent rating to 100%. but of course, my computer decided to break the day before. so kris comes round and fixes it in about 2 minutes, and in a few hours time, i was surfing the web again, and i remember the amazon thing. so i log in, and click the feedback button, only to get.....that's right, an error message. it was the most annoying thing ever, because it wasn't my computer, it was the site, so it wasn't a simple matter of refreshing the screen; i had to wait for them to fix it. and based upon this, i have come to the conclusion that amazon's maintenence support sucks, as it took them nearly two days. so, now, i didn't even know when i'd get the chance to leave feedback in the first place; so i went to bed (it was rather late). next day, i try it again, still error message, and now i have an email from the seller, requesting that i hurry up with the feedback, etc etc etc. so i replied to him with a very professional sounding email of my own; it was full of big words like 'inconvenience', and 'resolving', which are too large for most people i hang about with to think about, as my friend ashley pointedly noted. so i checked it again, and it was still er........um......error-ing. yes. that's a word, what are you talking about!, and was up until about 1:30 am, which is when i nearly yelled with joy and finally managed to send the stupid feedback.
i'm seriously rethinking my plans to keep amazon as a succesful and happy business when i'm a world dictator, and now the plans run something along the lines of fire and The Brig, though i'm sure the details may vary depending upon climate, weather conditions and...er.....well i'm sure there's something else...so.....here, you can make it up yourself: [noun].
