• 09:28 Microsoft calls underway to "activate" my Windows 7. First call was voice prompt hell to be told to call a different 866 number #
• 09:41 A very nice gentleman from India is now telling me I have to call a new number for Win 7 Help Desk... #
• 09:42 Oh, no, wait... instead, he says, go return my disk and get a new one for full install. Escalating to his boss. #
• 09:42 His boss understood... and says they're the wrong department. Oy. Now on hold with a robot voice saying "please wait" over and over.... #
• 09:47 Ryan (the boss) and I just spent 10 minutes saying the 25 digit activation key code back and forth like we're spys. "victor. foxtrot. mike. sixer. three." #
• 09:48 he's not got me on hold to make sure this is real code. Like I'd 1) make it up and 2) go to the effort of trying to trick him with it. #
• 09:50 btw, this is all my fault apparently for installing Win7 on a clean hard drive. Which I would HAVE to do if I'd had XP installed... #
• 09:52 Ryan is "creating a case for me" and then transferring me to 'technical department" (he's just lame ol' customer service. Useless!) #
• 09:55 ryan: "have a great day" me: "Oh, I'm sure after this, I will. How could it not get better?" #
• 09:56 Transferred to Microsoft technical support... and the line is completely silent. How long do I wait before I decide they dumped the call? #
• 09:59 Ziggy picked up! but he can't hear me... why could the guys in India hear me and he can't? WT FLYING F #
• 10:01 Ziggy said I should call back. I had to scream to ask for a number to call direct. He ended with: "Thank you for choosing Microsoft." #
• 10:03 luckily, calling back, they seemed to get my case number no problem even via voice prompt... and I'm back with customer support. awesome. #
• 10:04 "is this your first time calling Microsoft about this issue?" ME: "Unless you count my call from 20 minutes ago." #
• 10:09 Kac in Tech Support says she'll help me! I may swoon. but first: i have to go to MSDT.ext and enter a passkey. #
• 10:16 RT @jlendino: @egriffith hey, wrap all this up into @shitmytechsupportsays and you could probably get a book deal. #
• 10:17 It wasn't Kac, it's Kat. She's in the Philippines. She gave me a code, had me restart, and first thing I did was enter Product Key: FIXED. #
• 10:19 So, one hour wasted, I talked to 3 countries, the guy in USA was the most useless, and now I'm legal. Not sure it was worth it. #
• 11:16 Those Moleskin notebooks? Not "mole-skin" -- it's "mol-a-skeen'-a." I know that, yet I've never, ever used one. #
• 13:22 5-minute call to Audible.com and they fixed what they said they fixed done yesterday. And they were nice. I'll stay with their DRM. For now. #

• 20:48 Audible's DRM won't let me listen to ANY of the audiobooks I've bought the last 7 years, even the one today.... #
• 20:49 it's great to be treated like a criminal when I've actually PAID for stuff. Bittorrent NEVER gives me these problems. #
• 20:51 I can't lea ve Win7 behind (for work), but if Audible doesn't fix this, I'm dumping them for good. @doctorow was right. Again. #
