Mommy just wanna share her little sad experience yesterday. The computer died on her at 1PM. It just turned off like that and wouldn’t go back to life anymore! So, with her big tummy, Mommy went down on her knees and checked the CPU. The position was difficult so she sat on the floor and opened the CPU casing to check what’s wrong (well, that’s after checking all the wiring and connections). There’s no disconnected wire inside or anything. Nothing smelled burning as well. Mommy decided it’s definitely the power supply. Shucks! Just barely a month and the power supply already gave up? How lucky can I get?
So Mommy stood up from sitting on the floor (which was hard to do since Little Nicholas is very very heavy) and dialled the computer shop’s number. After begging (yes begging) and almost crying while talking to the customer service, Mommy found out they cannot offer her a Home Service at that time. They can and they will but later in the evening and it will definitely come with a fee. They asked Mommy to carry the CPU to the computer shop. What??? They wouldn’t even consider that Mommy’s 9 months pregnant of Little Nicholas and that she’s alone and she definitely can’t carry the unit all the way to the shop.
Mommy thanked them for their inconsiderate customer service, stared at the CPU and burst out crying. Well, after crying for a few minutes, she decided to muster a thick face and dialed her office. Mommy pleaded for Bryan (one of the MIS staff) to help her carry the unit to the computer shop. Thank God for nice people out there. Thanks to Bryan, who volunteered to go to my little house, get the CPU unit, bring it himself to the shop, wait for the repair to be over and bring the CPU back to the house for FREE! I owe you one kid!
As Mommy was lying on the bed later that afternoon, she realized how difficult life can be in times like this. That wasn’t even a complicated situation yet, and she needed to turn to someone else for help (so much for being independent and a responsible single Mom!). Mommy cried again, when she realized this won’t be easy, no, it will never be easy at all…
