Memoirs of a Lunatic

*Insert manic laughter*

Well, today the speakers did indeed arrive… only the box looked familiar… because it was the same box i had sent them containing the broken speakers. I thought they may have repaired them? No… i have been sitting at home waiting for a whole bloody week, only to recieve the exact same broken fucking speakers that i sent back to them!!!

Aparently, they tested them and found they worked fine… so you would think they’d call me and ask what exactly the problem is! They don’t work fine, i repeated the exact same testing procedure as them, and only one speaker works! They obvious played something through them for a split second, heard sound and assumed they worked.

Incompetance beyond fucking belief, once again i’ve had to call off work on my FMP due to those bumbling morons! I spoke with the manager, tore him down a strip and insisted the next package i recieve WILL be delivered early in the week and will most definitely be a brand new set of speakers! I fully intend now to get hold of their head office and register my complaint too, this is unacceptable.

Grah!

Well despite me wanting to go to Dolphin, Dolphin don’t have any in stock and say it could be up to 6 weeks before they have them! Unfortunately i need these things yesterday, so i’ve had to phone up digital village and resume the order… the guy promises that i will definitely get them tomorrow, and lord help them if i don’t recieve the things tomorrow! I’ve already been searching their site for contact info for their head office to complain… if i don’t recieve the things tomorrow then i’ll make it priority number 1.

Another day off college then… they will be ever so pleased, i suppose i should phone and say i’m sick ¬_¬

Dear fucking God!

I CANNOT believe the sheer fucking incompetance of digital village! I will NEVER use that company again! and i will certainly recommend to everyone i know that they use another company! Fucking incompetance!!!!!!

I’ve been waiting at home this week for my replacement speakers to arrive… the first set were broken, not their fault but the way they have dealt with me is purely unacceptable! Wednesday they informed me they forgot to despatch my new ones, today they inform me there was a ‘technical’ error thats not their fault… so today i asked for a fucking refund, i should have brought the things from Dolphin music in the first place, so thats what i’ll do!

Fuck me, you pay £83 for speakers, you expect to see the fucking things!

Give it up for Fu Manchu!

Listening to their latest album at the moment… dayum its good! I can’t believe we’re doing the sound for these guys in the summer! Its gonna be nuts! I mean you just have to look at photos from their gigs. They draw in THOUSANDS of people, no idea why they wanna play at nescot but hey, i’m not gonna knock it!

Went to my old workplace. They don’t have any hours, in fact they just filled a position yesterday -_- But they said i’m first on the list as soon as more hours open… so fingers crossed aye! I got over £100 in cheques anyway so that should tide me by for a while

Handjobs for cash!

Yeah yeah its getting desperate on the bank balance side of things. I’ve started my new exciting job now… but thus far i’ve done 2, count em, 2hrs of work! That earns me just £16 and i have no more hours on the horizon!

The problem is - the council gave the studio an initial budget for equipment and set up costs, but nothing more… so absolutely no budget at all for advertising, so no one knows the bloody studio is there, so no bookings!
This job is going to be fantastic for my CV…. heh, actually it looks like i’ll be doing the sound for Fu Manchu in summer, another great thing for the CV… but nevermind, i need cash now!
Tomorrow i’m gonna go to my old workplace and ask if i can have my old job back… its a long shot, but i got along great there, was genuinely sad to leave, and if i’m in luck they need more staff! I won’t quit the studio, but at least i’ll have money coming in while the studio does something (anything) to generate more business!
I did hand out some leaflets to bands last night while i worked the gig (mainly on my own as chris wasn’t about, lot of work!) and they seemed interested… but y’know, even if EVERY band i gave a leaflet to booked, thats only 4 or 5 a month… no good at all!

I have no luck with employment at all…
