Guess who I was on the phone with for 3 hours last night???

That’s right! Some guy in India.

I came home from work yesterday completely annoyed that my computer still wasn’t back to normal when I decided to give good old Dell a call.  Well after chatting with the robot for a good 20 minutes, I was transferred to tech support, where some nice man in India said he could help me.

… and he also informed me he had a bad cold so to ignore his nasal sounding voice.

Anyways… after chatting for a while, he said he could definitely help me with my problem and actually gave me his word that he would fix it. 

$130 dollars later… problem still not completely fixed.

He was really nice though! We chatted and while my computer was doing stuff, he asked me about my career, school, education… etc.  Then he started asking if I watched the Presidential Debate. 

Now… I’m really not one to talk about politics.  And this kinda struck me as kinda odd.  He began to ask me what my political views were, and I said I was just a neutral person (because really, that’s what I am, I don’t really follow much politics), and that I only read articles on the debate. 

I didn’t want to say anything about my personal views on the subject in fear he wouldn’t fix my computer if I didn’t agree with him haha!

Lots of tea was also consumed during this stressful time… because really, yogi tea makes everything better Open-mouthed smile

I ended up going to bed later than expected because I was so stressed out after those phone calls and dealing with my computer problems. And I know some of you don’t think I’m human because I posted how clean my diet usually is on my only WIAW post, but be glad to know I had some ice cream and chocolate chips after my India man hung up Winking smile

It’s just not something I do a lot since I freeze up like crazy.

Workout

Since I ran yesterday, today was a walk day.

When I walk on my treadmill I keep it at an incline, and usually around 4.5 mph.  So I really work up a sweat.

After that sweat session I popped in the Pilates DVD and did 30 minutes Open-mouthed smile 

Nice and relaxing

Breakfast

Yummy in my tummy!

Love yogurt bowls… even though they’re cold, they are just so easy to prepare!

  1. Your hair looks so adorable! Love it : ). Ugh and I hate talking to tech support for hours- even it they’re nice it’s pretty frustrating.

    I couldn’t agree more about the yogurt bowls. I eat them allll throughout winter. Perfection, right?

  2. Oh man…I HATE having to make those calls…and I really don’t like when they want to have the small talk. haha.
    Yogurt bowl looks delish!

  3. i think you need a new computer… seriously! I would be up the wall.

    • I do too lol! Fingers crossed it’s working… that’s the last time I try to watch Vampire Diaries online (I’m 100% sure that’s the reason this happened lol)

  4. Oh geezz that is ridiculous. I get too frustrated in those types of situations. I just take it to a repair man and fork over unnecessary amounts of money…I need to work on being frugal LOL!

    • haha! Everyone was like.. why did you just take it to best buy??? lol! Next time.. well fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again lol

      • I once got my engineer boyfriend to fix mine as well (f only he wasn’t so far away for all my computer issues right now haha)…if my computer is slow and I panic. LOL.

  5. Oh my gosh that’s insane!!! I HATE stuff like that!!! I do love Yogi tea though ;)
