The evil deeds of ARCOR (and other stories)
18 years ago
General
Remember the last time when I was moving to a new flat and ARCOR couldn't be arsed to get my phone/internet-connection up and running? About 1 ½ years ago or something? That was fun, wasn't it? Well, it's not that I want to wake any evil spirits of the past, but I already smell the first petty signs of typical ARCOR-asshattery leading up to a loooong and dreary wait for a working phone-connection.
Two weeks had gone by without a single reply by that funky phone organization and I began to worry whether they actually ever received my “I'm moving!”-letter. So I went to friends of mine who allowed me to use their phone and call ARCOR... and the conversation went like this:
Me: “Um, hello! I wondered what happened to my little order. The one about the new address and such. It takes a little long, doesn't it?”
ARCOR-guy: “Oh, thank goodness that you're calling! We tried to reach you all the time!”
Me: “Uh, whut?”
ARCOR-guy: “Yes, but the phone seemed to dead! Reproach, reproach, reproach! I don't like you very much right now, you evil thing, you!”
Me: “Well, take another look at my letter and read what it says. I've been living in my new flat for almost a week now. And now try to guess why my phone was dead in exactly those days.”
ARCOR-guy: “Oh no! Defeated by logic! I can't bear it, I can't bear it! I'm melting!!!”
*headdesk*
Anyway, what came out of it was that they sent me a new form, I filled it out and sent it back again... and now I spend my days hoping that they finally got what the whole thing is about. At least they seem to have acknowledged that I live somewhere else now. That their letter landed in my *new* mailbox indicates it.
So what does one do in his free-time when he has no flatrate polluting his computer and therefore no one to talk to online? Watching. Like TV, harrdiharr. But I quickly gave it up again, because the dross that they show there reminded me why I actually turned that thing off in the first place. And I know everyone complains about it, but I personally have to say it at least once... today's music television is a wasteland. All silly dating shows, no clips. I want my 90s MTV back. And VIVA II. Especially VIVA II. *sigh* Instead I had the news channels running in the background... but since even they get boring after a while, I pulled my unwatched DVDs out of the shelves and gave them a go... like “Crusade” (that short-lived follow-up show to “Babylon 5”) and several movies that I've bought over a period of time but never felt the urge to actually sit down and watch them.
And then there's reading. I finally began to read the latest Walter Moers/Zamonien-book I got as a birthday present a few months ago... and then there are some unread Clive Barker-tomes on my shelves as well. Guess I'll go on with them when I'm finished with that Moers-thingy. I'm in the mood for some deliciously icky stuff anyway.
Or I could do something creative after all. I haven't written anything for a while now... or at least nothing that got past a “The beginning!”-state. And it's not that I don't have any ideas... I'm always just too lazy to actually flesh them out. *sigh* Well, let's see...
But anyway... For now at least I finishing typing this entry, so you know that I'm still alive. ;)

And... well, yeah... I live, more or less. And have to bear an annoying tinnitus which decided to inhabit my ear some weeks ago and now just won't go away. *sigh* But well... the new flat is almost done... but I've noticed that I have way to few pictures and posters to put on the walls. So the flat still looks kinda empty... and I don't have too many decorative things either. Mhmhmhm. Dull.
Oh, and I have this suspicion that the guy who's living above me is an aquanaut or something. When he's moving through his quarters it sounds like he's wearing big metal boots. He's not walking... he's stomping! o.O
Anyway... since this is my first real own flat (up until now I always used to be somebody's lodger, meh) I can finally have a pet! Harr! Still haven't really decided what kind of pet to get, though. But I'm keeping my eyes open. *whistles*

=3 Oder kauf einen Print von mir! XD Ich hab Geldsorgen im mom versuchen mich alle übern Tisch zu ziehen, Vermieter, RWE, GasWasserScheiße, Handyvertrag. *seufzt* _Und bis die Beschwerden durch sind muss ich erst mal zahlen und ob es wirklich Ansprüche gibt ist auch fraglich,. *seufzt* Alles wird teurer, wieso denn nur, wieso? Und wieso versuchen sie dich im Leben immer alle zu bescheissen?
Scheiß Welt!
*murr*
Wie wäre es mit einer Kornnatter? Als Haustier meine ich... oder einer Bartagame? Aber Reptilien sind teuer. Oder schaff dir ein Aquarium mit Axolotln an! :D Oder Ratten.
Wie funktioniert das eigentlich hier überhaupt mit den Prints? Ich habe mich da noch nie so mit auseinandergesetzt... Kay, ich könnte mich jetzt selbst auf die Info-Suche machen, aber nicht im Internet-Café wenn die Einheiten nur so durchrauschen. :D
Tjo, auf nen Leguan hätte ich Bock... aber das kann ich momentan echt nicht finanzieren. Allein schon so ein Terrarium kostet absurd viel. Also wird's wohl eher auf irgendwas nagetieriges hinauslaufen... aber das auch erst frühestens in ein paar Monaten.
Blah, ich brauch' endlich nen cooleren Job.
Alle Infos dazu findest du hier: http://phpbb.metaplot03.com/viewtopic.php?t=99
Das ist unser Forum und Alexej Axis bin ich. *gg* Du kannst Porto-Kosten sparen, wenn Trisha dir das Ding beim nächsten Berlin-Besuch mitbringt. Was die Prints angeht, ich habe einige Motive aus meiner Galerie als Prints vorliegen und könnte sie dir natürlich auch mitschicken/verkaufen. Meine Prints kosten vier Euro. Die sind dann DINa4 groß und auf gutem, festen hochglanzpapier. Falls du dich dafür interessierst kann ich dir die Motive raussuchen, die ich vorrätig hab. Ich verkauf auch kleine ArtCards für 1,50€. Oder zwei Postkartemotive gibt's auch noch die kostn dann zwei Euronen.
:3 Ich wünsch dir in jedem Fall viel Glück, dass du nen cooleren Job findest.
Job: Passenderweise habe ich überraschend ein Vorstellungsgespräch für morgen ans Land gezogen. Wünsch mir Glück!
Mraff die solln ma inne Pötte kommen und das alles richtich machn! Ich warte solang ma auf dich ^^
Jedenfalls... da die Leute gesagt haben, dass zwischen Eintragseingang und Neuanschluss 4 Wochen liegen... und mittlerweile 1 1/2 Wochen ins Land gegangen sind, sollte ich in 2 1/2 Wochen endlich wieder im ICQ/IRC/undsonstwo ansprechbar sein.
Wenn alles glatt geht. *seufz*
Ausserdem irritiert mich dieses irreführende Kommentarsystem hier auf FA. Teufelnocheins.
Und... jaaa! Mach ein Wettbüro auf! Insbesondere wenn ich die Einnahmen kassieren darf! :D
