One more pisser and then a bright side for today.
Another off-pisser today was when I went to renew my Tracfone minutes. Back before Christmas, they sent me a thing in the mail that was supposed to be a Happy Birthday thing, with a code to add an extra 30 minutes to my account when I used it during buying a new time card thing. They said it would expire at the end of my birthday month, i.e. January. Yet, when I tried to use it today when I bought a new 90 day, 60 minute card, it told me the code was already fucking expired. Lovely.
But, meh, I'm not too terribly pissed off by that, given that I currently have 1475.36 minutes on my phone, so losing out on an extra 30 minutes isn't a make-or-break situation. It's more the principle of the thing, really. Don't tell me you're giving me something, and then when I try to get/use that shit, it's not actually there.
The bright side: I finally got my two 1TB SSD drives in my hands today. That said, I'm not going to fuck with that shit this evening. I'll do it tomorrow, because I have a few last minute backup-to-external-drive things I want to do. Also, I plan to redo the thermal paste on the CPU while I've got the computer unhooked and all that shit, too (though I'll probably hook it back up temporarily to make sure that, at least, still works properly, before I move on to swapping out the drives).
