Back in Business
Rants and Delusions

My laptop just arrived back from the repair shop, and with it renewed faith in the customer service of Best Buy. For the better part of 5 years I have done nothing but (justly) berate the actions of the Best Buy customer service desk. Over the past 5 years I needed to have my computer serviced no less than 6 times. (On a side note - NEVER BUY A COMPAQ!) Each time it has taken over an hour at the desk followed by at least a 30 day wait while they shipped it off. Apparently they have revised some of their service provisions. Today was only day four of my wait. They fixed what ailed the piece of junk I call my computer (a plug for my cord that wasn't making any electrical connection and a floppy screen) and even threw in a extra battery for good measure. Now if only it will break one more time before the end of December allowing me to get another free replacement courtesy of the lemon law clause of my warranty agreement...

Hey Loser, Come To LeTourneau
The Casual Cynic

While flipping through the latest edition of Sports Illustrated, I came across something that looked vaguely familier. It was the LeTouneau bell tower. Then I read the ad. In big, bold lettering,

"Your Dreams.
Chances are they won't come true in the big leagues. Better be prepared."

Then it said something about getting a degree at any of its many campuses.

LeTourneau University, the home for losers and failures the country over. What kind of marketing is that?
