Computer troubles :-(

Well not really computer troubles but my modem took a crap on me lol

Of course it was over Memorial Day weekend, so I didn't get my new modem until the 30th. It actually arrived a couple days ahead of when Century Link told me it would arrive. So YAY for quick service. :-)

Over the weekend had to deal with the Rent A Center washer going crazy on me though, the lid wouldn't lock and since Whirlpool has that safety feature it wouldn't do ANYTHING. Ugghh and I tried calling off and on from Saturday around 5 PM up until Tuesday morning at 10 AM when I finally got an answer.

Turns out they were closed on Sunday (as normal hours) and Monday of course for Memorial Day. Thought it would be an easy switch the broke one for the new one sorta transaction but the loaner they brought me WOULDN'T put water into the washer. Grrrr so they had to take both back to the store and bring me another one out to replace the one that didn't work.

My nephew had gone outside with my sister and gotten the mail from the mailbox. I opened up the mail and found out that 2 of the 4 giftcards that I've earned from doing some 30 day trial period items had come in the mail. I thought cool now I've got $40 gas card and a $50 Wal-mart card to go and get some stuff from Wal-mart and be able to pay for the gas up to Dunn. I put the opened mail on the chest freezer by the back door and went to take care of my nephew for a few minutes.

The two workers from Rent A Center were taking the loaner washer out the back door and I didn't realize till after they left that my mail had been knocked down behind the chest freezer. I looked through the mail and 2 of my envelopes were empty. I was like hmmm WTH? The empty envelopes had the 2 gift cards in them earlier. I found the one gas card in the field where the Rent A Center truck had been parked along with the two letters from the companies that I'd gotten the gift cards from balled up in that field. I contacted Rent A Center thru Facebook. I'm not going to try to even talk to Harvey the store manager in Dunn, NC Rent A Center store.
I want to talk to the District Manager.

I'll have the washer until around 3 PM on Saturday now to make up for the time lost over the weekend.

I'll update about the gift card situation later.
