The Laptop Saga

Generally speaking, I expect certain things from a repair business. If I send or bring something in for you to fix, and you return it saying "it's fixed" I expect it to be fixed.

Silly me.

The problem is simple enough to describe - the wireless connection won't work. Oh, it says it's "Requiring Network Address" but that's as far as it goes. There's no connection made to the internet.

So far we've done all sorts of over the phone tech support, we've replaced the wireless card, we've updated drivers, gone into regedit, etc. and when none of that worked, the laptop was sent into Lenovo to fix the system board. Quick turn around was promised and delivered.

And it came back today, with a lovely little note explaining what they did and stated "all hardware problems are connected". Except they aren't. Same exact problem. Likely as not, Lenovo didn't actually test it to see if it can acquire a Wi-Fi connection. So we made another call to Atlanta, GA and they are sending another box.

This is past annoying. Really.

Incoming - new bunny

Never underestimate the power of balance in one's life. We lost Nyx this week and the Universe is already sending us a new one.

I received a call from a family in Navy Housing who realized their neighbors abandoned a rabbit on their front porch when they moved out. The gal who is bringing the rabbit doesn't seem to know anything about them, so our conversation has been very brief.

Sounds like a brown mini-lop, unsure as to gender. I will update this post with additional information (and yes, picy goodness) when the bunny arrives. I've already contacted Navy Housing Authority to see if we can get more information.

Update: Not only a No Show, but a Not Answering, too. Hmn.

Completely not safe for work & has no redeeming value

But it is funny in a "I've drunk too much beer today" kind of way.
