Did I tell you that when I went to collect my new PC on Friday, they wouldn't hand it over because I didn't have two official forms of ID on me, even though they never told me I needed them, and it was too late to go back home and get them, as I had people coming over for dinner, and I'd got kinda lost on the way because of Carnival preparations. Boy was I frustrated - crying even, but it was more than Phil's jobwasworth to be flexible.

Finally got my hands on the goods today, and it turns out that the 5.1 speakers are damaged (boot shaped dent in box and subwoofer), there's no DVI output, and the whole thing looks repackaged, replete with list of "missing" items taped to the box.

I'm not a happy camper. I ordered my PC two weeks ago, and I'm an instant-gratification girlie, at the worst of times. I've emailed my friendly Evesham operative, and I'm hoping they'll just come over and do it all for me.

Gah. The modern world. I mean, really.
