Weekend of Failure

Should have known it.  When I drove home from work Friday night and saw the Full Moon (or nearly a full moon..I didn't look at the calendar)..Has anything gone right this weekend, or worked correctly for that matter? 

 

I come home Friday after a long boring day at the office and all I wanted to do was unwind with the massive online killing of other Call of Duty players on XBox Live.  Instead, I scratched my balls for 3 hours...just as entertaining.  No. I come home and kick on the XBox only to see 3 Red Rings.  Exactly 3 months after I got it back from Microsoft.  Yep, 3 months ago, I got 3 red rings and had to send it in for repair.  Ya know, in the year and 2 months I've owned an Xbox, I've come to realize that their repair is about as reliable as a narcoleptic airplane pilot.  This will be the FOURTH time that I will need to send it in. FUCKING RIDICULOUS.  I guess it really isn't surprising considering these consoles have a greater than 16% failure rate.  I know people who have multiple XBox consoles, ya know, one or two to serve as back-ups in case the primary fails.  How fucking sad is that?  What pisses me off further is I immediately went online and opened a ticket (so they'll send me a fucking box to ship it in), and I haven't even gotten a confirmation email.  Of course I couldn't even check the status at all today because the Live site was fucking screwy all day.

 

It really wouldn't have mattered if it still worked because my router kicked the bucket today.  So I go out today to buy a new one and discovered I had a flat tire. FUCK!  So I pumped it up and ventured to Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire Discounters.  Thankfully all it was turned out to be a nail and they repaired it.  So now after a trip to Wally mart, everything is running again...At least until tomorrow when there are more possibilities of failure.  It sucked the site was shitty most of the day but that's just the nature of the beast.  In my line of work it happens all the time.
