Acer - Vodafone doesn't want your money.

Vodafone doesn't want your money.
So my Vodafone account hit it's limit, and I go the "your call has been..." mesage when I went to check a voicemail, I hit one to pay by credit card as I always do, except it doesn't work and I got dumped to "Jason" at the graveyard shift call center. 

Simply speaking, he informed me, that the payments systems are not working, nobody has any idea when they will be working, and no, sir, there is no way to make payment so no you can not use your phone to make a call or check voicemail at this time.  Naturally I asked how this was acceptable, naturally he replied that "sir, in the terms and conditions...".

I have to admit I did know that Vodafone had been having problems today (this seems to have slipped past the media?) with pre-pay topups and credit card payments but you'd have thought it would have been fixed under 24 hours, or at least some goodwill "ok, let me just add a few dollars to your limit until the problem can be fixed since you do spend a hundred bucks or so with us each month" gesture might have been in order, hell I only needed to check voice mail, it's not like I have anybody to actually call at this time of night.

Acer - Calendar De-Crapping Kit: October

October, and the leaves are stripped bare of all they wear. But who gives a crap? We’re more interested in the tenth all-new edition of Woot’s Calendar De-Crapping Kit, and at last it’s here! It took a week, but like they say: Good things come to some of those who wait, while others of those who wait are just wasting their time, or might end up with junk, since, really, total wait time is a very poor predictor of the quality of goods, as anyone who saw STAR WARS EPISODE 1 could tell you.

Anyway, to swap your unsatisfactory calendar artwork out for our original graphics, just click the thumbnail below and print the image that appears in your browser. Staple it over top of your calendar’s existing “October” picture, and presto-change-o, your cubicle walls are sporting a whole new fall look.

This month’s art is designed to inspire Hallowe’en costume ideas—or fantasies of tainting candy, depending on which side of the doorway you’ll be standing on at the end of the month.

If your Calendar De-Crapping Kit is missing a month, check our blog for the complete back catalog:
