Yesterday I busted my toe. Today I busted my laptop and burned my thumb.
Let’s hope my AppleCare covers my screen, but I’m not really counting on it. What a waste of money that was.
My fucking screen shattered.
I will be getting a box within 48 hours to send it to Apple.
There they will probably decide it was an accident and therefore not covered under my AppleCare policy (why the fucking hell did I waste my money on it, if it doesn’t cover shit?) and I will scrounge for money to buy a new fucking screen for my two fucking thousand dollar laptop. Yah, guess who probably can’t afford that? We pretty much just finished paying it off too. I bought in in Nov ’05 as a birthday present to me.
I am trying very hard right now to transfer at least my work files to my external drive (something I had started last week and never finished) and maybe my photos if I can find them. I networked in, so I have limited access, and I’ll be damned if I am paying them 100+$ to backup my hard drive. Fuckers.
Oh, by the way, guess who also can’t do any work if I can’t get those files to copy.
If they deem it an “accident” isn’t not covered (as in, you dropped it you asshole, you get to pay for it) if it’s a malfunction (which it’s not) it would be covered.
Applecare has covered two screens for me in the past, but it was due to a malfunction in the latch mechanism, and they had to replace the entire thing. They have also replaced three keyboards, so honestly, it was worth it, but I am so angry I spent so much on it and it wont cover the big ticket breaks.
I am so angry right now. I can’t even begin. What really stinks is, I have dropped it before. The goddamn hard drive has a drop-resistant thing in it (it freezes if it notices a change in velocity, cool, no?), why not the screen!!
I’ve restarted my file transfer three times now. It keeps getting stuck on one file, but while I can get into my laptop to drag the main file over, if I try to go into the file to select specific files to copy, it freezes my dads machine. It’s apparently all or nothing. Let’s hope for all.
I am so angry at me right now.
